Smokers, grills, and BBQs. What are you cooking?

[J. Barron DeJong]

I am pretty lazy these days about getting charcoal or propane. Has anyone fucked with one of these?

I haven’t used one, but I’d be concerned it’s too weak to get a good char going. It’s 1560 watts, which is equivalent to about 5300 btu/hr. A comparable size Weber portable gas grill is 12,000 btu/hr.

The only thing i can say is that when comparing the webers and similar higher end electric ones in the store they seemed to come with heavy cast iron grates instead of the lighter stainless steel ones found on cheap portable propane grills. I was sort of hoping that might make the difference even if it takes a long time to heat up - and the top temp is sub par.

It's a lot of money to pay for a little convenience though - especially if what you're getting is basically an indoor / outdoor george foreman.

If you're too lazy to fire up a propane grill I'm not sure what to tell you.

I think it’s the obtaining of propane that’s the problem - to which I suggest hard lining gas or propane from the house to the grill.

of course you’ve got to be really careful - my neighbor left his going to burn off the crud on the grill, then went away for a few days and ended up emptying his house propane tank - at least he didn’t burn the house down

I've had the Weber Q gas grill. It was decent, but rather heavy for something thats supposed to be portable.

there are no gas lines here and getting canisters is just another chore

Do you gas up your car ever?

Grills and cars use different gas.

If you live near rednecks they usually sell both at the same place. Ammunition too, obviously.

Can't you get them both at Costco though? I don't know, but I imagine.

My absolute fave cut. Used to be just used by Mexican and Thai joints, and it was super cheap when a friend who owns restos turned me onto it years ago. I buy it in bulk at the resto supply, trim, and vac seal. It sous vides great, is still super tasty pretty rare as long as you like it across the grain and not too thick. I have found it takes longer to cook than other cuts (density?) but you can't beat the beefy goodness.

These are pretty big. Around 4 lbs. Ill probably go the sous vide route and then sear.

Yeah Bobby that’s the common wisdom. Marinate, cooked over high heat quickly to desired doneness (med rare, ofc) cook it as one piece and slice against the grain.

Little tougher than the higher up part which is the sirloin. Not much. Don’t treat it like a tough piece.

So many options. I love fajitas. Marinate. Sear but don’t cook it, slice, throw in the pan with already sautéed onions and peppers for 15 seconds and serve. The first fajita is rare but the warm [cast iron] pan keeps cooking the rest and your second third and forth are more like medium to medium well.

Often I just slice it on a board and eschew the pan presentation. Then it stays rare/med rare.

Good steak do what u want. Enjoy. I’d probably be happy just put it in the pan sear til rare and go. Yum!!

Thanks bud!

No, they don't sell propane at Costco. Unless you are willing to get ripped off doing the trade in at the grocery store, there are not tons of places that refill propane, at least around me. There's two places within 15 minutes and both close their propane sales at 5pm.

It sounds like nobody has tried one of these yet. but instead of saying that it's like i bought a house with an electric charging port and i am considering getting a hyundai kona to commute and you're telling me that it's just no big deal to fill up once a week instead.

guess it's been awhile since you lived in an apartment in the northeast and walked to the grocery store to get your stuff two bags at a time!

I mean, can you even get up madame g’s these days?

I actually just read a review comparing the Q-1400 and the Q-2400. The conclusion was that the 1400 is better because they use the exact same heating element, just different size cooking surface. If they sold a more solid nicer looking stand, I’d be all over one of the portable Weber gas or electrics.

dude, that is solid intel, thanks. and yeah the stand pretty much blows. there's a Napoleon q that has a better stand but i have a little brand loyalty to Weber and have never heard of Napoleon.

[jackattack]

I dig the Q.

Napolean is a Canadian competitor to Weber. Been around for a pretty long time now, and generally get pretty solid ratings:

Cut against the grain into 1.5” steaks, sous vide in your marinade at 140 (I love a fresh ginger, soy, mirin marinade on loin flap), let cool to room temp, sear.

Thinking about getting a teak or vinyl cabinet to put it on.

I did this last night now I have to get more propane.

Happens occasionally at my house. I set a timer on my phone to go scrub it and turn it off.

[GiBo]

I have left the gas on. It happens.

I dig my Q. I did go for the 2200 over the 1000. 8,500 BTU vs 12,000.
