The Official Summertime Grill Thread

[PhotoJones]

I am having a cookout and people are coming over to my house. I am waiting for people to get here and I am gleeful with the amount of drink I have had so far.

I want to know your perfect grilling recipes and secrets. Charcoal or propane? Chicken or steak? Grilled corn or peppers?

This is the thread for it.

 

[nosebleed.]

Charcoal FTW. I love grilling steak and ribs and this thread is an awesome idea. I just grilled some steaks and hot dogs yesterday...ribeye is my fave. Cold beer, warm day and a hot grill makes nosebleed a happy guy.

 

[Victarion]

Charcoal and hickory chips, sir. Aye, a rare ribeye's hard to beat...but I need a new grill.

 

[Immortalfire]

Charcoal forevah!

 

[PhotoJones]

Ah yes, my fellow Hypesters....The beer flows fast and cold in my veins. I am almost ready to light the first spark of fire that which will feed myself and my hungry brothers and sisters.

Let us unite and rejoice in the heat of the setting Sun as we grill our meats and swig our drinks!

Okay, I have a brand-new CharBroil grill (propane w/ 3 burners) that I've never used before.

I'm having a party Friday afternoon/night, and we're gonna use the grill. I've got the propane cylinder and everything, just not sure how to correctly turn it on.

Well geesh man, make a thread about it! The heck with an official one. The Hype is the world's end all for advice!

Too damn hot to grill. My baby back ribs were oven cooked and so good.

The bestests thing I grilled and smoked was a leg of lamb.
Oh,dear god! *orgasms* -.-

I let it smoke for about 5 hours with Jack Daniels wood chips.
(I'm so getting me some cancer)
So tender and moist.....

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup lime juice
2 teaspoons crushed oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 head garlic, minced
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 (5 pound) butterflied leg of lamb
In a non-reactive pan large enough to hold the lamb, stir together all ingredients except lamb. Place lamb in pan and coat well with marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning meat occasionally.
Remove lamb from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat grill and cook lamb for 10 minutes on each side for rare. Remove lamb from grill and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing to serve.

Open the valve to let the propane flow up into the grill. Then click the starter. That's about it.

Or you could use charcoal and taste the heat as well as the meat.

Grill Week starts on the Food Network today. I heart Food Network.

 

[tzarinna]

I miss cable.
The only time I could tear myself away was to try a recipe.

Okay, any good spices for a burger? That make the taste better?

Ground beef, 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp pepper. Mix together and form into patties and grill it up.

One thing to add: Onion Soup; I use Lipton. Mix that in with the ground beef, and you've got yourself one hell of a burger.

That's a portion of what's on the menu tonight, friend.

My stepdad used to make some damn good burgers with one spice in them.

But another question - What setting do I put the burners at?

 

[nosebleed.]

For my steak I use a little soy sauce (hey, i'm weird like that), meat tenderizer, pepper blend (black, red, and green bell peppers) and a liittle bit of salt. 4-5 minutes each side for me...6-7 minutes for wifey because she likes them more done.

Depends on what you're cooking, my man. With chicken, I'd do a slow burn until it's cooked through, and then crank it up for about the last minute if you like that crispy, burnt taste on the outside.

If you're doing burgers, I'd do a medium burn/high burn depending on how you like 'em cooked.

Steak is something that you're going to have to figure out on your own. Everyone likes their steak different ways, and there's all kinds of ways to cook it.

 

[tzarinna]

You're not alone with the soy sauce.

 

[PhotoJones]

And I don't know what the Hype will let us get away with here, but nothing goes better with grilled food than a cold one. I'm enjoying some Sierra Nevada Porter, myself. I haven't found anything that goes better with steak.

We're gonna be doing burgers and hot dogs... any tips on the dogs?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

When preparing for a grill cook out,its always good to get a little bit more food than you first wanted to buy.Just incase a few more people than you first expect come over,or the people are hungry.

Dog are dogs. There's nothing that'll make them taste any better grilled than they already do.

If you've got bratwurst or something, I usually boil those babies in a bit of beer before I grill 'em.
