I grill, so do 3 out of my 4 female friends. The guys are always sitting around drinking beer or playing catch with the kids so we grill. I've been known to do kabobs of anything imaginable, steaks, salmon w/lemon in the middle of winter, marinated chicken, etc. I love to grill!

OldEnuf, you live in a very small world if you do not know women who grill. Just cooked regular ol' burgers on the grill last night. Grilled chicken (tequila lime marinade) and thinly-sliced potatoes last week.

Where is the best place to get a propane tank refill for the grill? (Yes, yes, I am too lazy to do charcoal!) Who is the most reasonably priced?

Two to three times a week. With charcoal and assorted hardwoods. No propane or propane accessories at my house. Any meat..favs being of course ribeye, filet, babybacks, cornish hens or maybe crappie rolled in spinach leaves and slow smoked..all vegatables..about anything except scrambled eggs..The signature dish according to momma: Slow smoked cornish hens, stuffed with Poppy's own apricot stuffing with one of those German white wines with the cat on the label.

Shame on you hypoctical “Greenies” for charcoal or propane grilling!

Don't you know that grilling is a major source of both CO2 and carcinogenic smoke?

You ban smoking in public but stand around grilles like a bunch of potheads sniffing patchouli!

From the citation:

“Barbecue grills can be problematic for two reasons. First, both charcoal and wood burn “dirty,” producing not only hydrocarbons but also tiny soot particles that pollute the air and can aggravate heart and lung problems. Secondly, the grilling of meat can form two kinds of potentially carcinogenic compounds: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs).”

http://environment.about.com/od/health/a…

From the citation:

“Both briquettes and lump charcoal create air pollution. Lump charcoal, made from charred wood to add flavor, also contributes to deforestation and adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Charcoal briquettes do have the benefit of being made partly from sawdust (a good use of waste wood), but popular brands may also contain coal dust, starch, sodium nitrate, limestone and borax.”

Hmmmmm………………………………

The Left shows itself for what it is!

Grill'n and Smok'n. That is where it is at. Goodness. This week I've already grilled burgers, brats, and chicken. This weekend, if the weather holds, it shall be pork butt. Smoked all day long. Beer butt chicken for Sunday supper.

For some reason, I feel the need to second Autie… no propane or propane accessories at my place.

Autie - Interesting on the crappie wrapped in spinach. Whole crappie? A couple minutes on each side?

As far as carbon credits… I've got a trashbag full of them. Al Gore's 747 flew over my house as he was on his way from New York to Sydney to give his one hour power point presentation. He may have done a little snorkeling or kangaroo watching as well. Anyhow, those carbon credits were just falling from the sky.

Bob, on the crappie my best advice would be to experiment. What I do is take a fillet and drizzle it with lemon juice, sprinkle it with dill; then roll it up in a good size spinach leaf..or a corn husk works to..I use one of those expanded metal, wire plate things from the Wal Mart..place it to the side of the coals for a brief..I have done this with all types of fish..shrimp, scallops..depending, maybe add some bacon..My wife tells me I never do it twice the same way but it doesn't matter. And all the comments about CO2 or pollution..bite me..we're discussing good eats/cooking. I'm a pretty green guy most of the time and my outdoor cooking is one grain of sand on a very large beach.

I love to cook on the grill. Chicken and beef mostly. Veggies and corn on the cob. If I have a nice steak, I'm not letting my hubby near it. He has killed too many expensive steaks because he's a lazy grill watcher. He just drinks beer and yaps until everything is up in flames.

I love burgers stuffed with blue cheese on the grill. Maybe some kebabs…Souvlaki is good. When we camp, everything is on the grill…even the biscuits!

You do not have the right to pollute the air I breathe with your carcinogenic and poisonous charcoal smoke.

You do not have the right to force me to breathe the smelly and deadly byproducts of your primitive cooking techniques!

Charcoal grilling causes cancer through primary smoke!

From the citation:

“Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of over 100 different chemicals that are formed as byproducts of combustion (burning) of coal, oil, gas, garbage, tobacco, foods and other organic substances.”

“Most people are exposed to some PAHs through the food they eat, especially foods that have been grilled, barbecued or smoked.”

http://www.helium.com/items/715531-grill…

From the citation:

“The other carcinogen is heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA). This chemical forms when the muscle is subjected to very high temperatures causing the breakdown of a particular amino acid in the meat. This reaction could also take place by burning the meat while cooking indoors, but charcoal grills are blamed for creating conditions for the formation of both these chemicals due to the lack of control on the heat. Gas grills are not better, just somewhat more easily adjusted.”

I also like to grill fruit. I know, it sounds weird, but if you take an apple (granny smith are the best for this), cut off the top, hull out the core, fill the hole with a pasty mixture of graham crackers (crushed to powder), sugar, melted butter and assorted spices (I like to use cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger), put the top back on the apple and grill it using indirect heat for a while, it's fantastic!! The stuff in the middle kind of carmelizes and the apple cooks tender and it's a pretty thing to make (great for entertaining). Serve it with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream to cut the sweet. Yummy!

I've never heard of grilling killing people, but cigarettes cause cancer. Cigarettes contain more carcinogens than most other substances on earth that people put in their bodies.

No need to wrap the apples in foil, coolmom, if you make sure your heat is indirect. It's a good thing to put off to the side of your grate while you're grilling your main course. You'll be able to tell when they're done when they give a little with a gentle squeeze, like when you check baked potatoes.

I guess this is a good thread to say
Looks like I have a weber grill and a tower smoker that need to find good homes.

Also, a Little Tykes twin red race car bed with mattress (cost us $300) and a

newer ping pong table, the kind that is on wheels and folds in half, upright to save space.

Donations very needed but not manditory. Realtor says I need to empty the house.
(Two family's belongings: garden tools, and everything else for that matter, if you need it, just ask, I've probably got it, and most everything has to go)

I truly feel sorry for folks like Marion. To read those post, one would think he does nothing but eat uncooked oatmeal and raw vegatables. Maybe he does. I don't presume to tell others how to live or what is bad for them. It is a matter of personal choice. But when someone tells me how bad my food is for me and that my manner of cooking is offensive to the environment and society, I take exception. To me, that attitude is nothing less than self rightous, intolerant bigotry at its finest. And then think we are supporting global warming with our little fires..give it break man, relax. I'll go out on a limb, totally unsupported by any links to facts or figures..All the barbecue fires in America don't amount to a statistically significant hill of beans when compared to all other sources of pollution. Just a gut feeling…

If we had to give up everything that was bad for us or caused a disease, we would be cold, naked and alone in our houses.

beebee, as trinity pointed out, you'll want to close down the vents a little bit to control the flames, but only the bottom vents. If you close the top vents you'll trap in that carcinogenic smoke of shat's.

MD is that a Webber smoker you are looking to send to a good home? Either way I'm interested, but especially if it's a Webber. The kids would love the ping-pong table, but I don't have room for it.

I'll admit it, I smiled.
I also like your pic, the low corner mouth is great. When one is really confused, try a & for the hair.

Apples, the skin browns and shrivels, warn the little tykes, or they'll have a “no way” cow.

Everyone, mint juleps sometime this grilling season!
And boil some peanuts why don't you.
Anyone got a local place for green/raw peanuts in bulk?

Another southern bbq trick. Start your now, the taste gets stronger with age.(Heck they pour it on everything, beans and cornbread, chili, turnips, grilling meats/marinade)
Take a small tall bottle, (or a big quart one if you aren't pouring picky),
stuff it full of small hot peppers.Yellow, red, pepperoncini, then add vinegar to the top.
Just use the vinegar as you would tabasco like sauces. Cheap, add more vinegar as you use it, I'm told it never spoils.

Why don't stores carry green tomatoes? Need to fry some of those this year.

Maria, I just went out to look at it. It was my mom's. My parents died and it came to my house to sit on the porch. The label lost it's words. It's a waist high, with a red top. I opened it, it will need a lot of cleaning the first time, with a wire brush, rust, mold from not being used. Some rust around the vent swivel on top. Has two wheels and two stationary legs. They tended to put money into things, so it likely is a better brand, just been sitting for a few years.
Knowing people don't want things that need some cleaning, I probably would have just taken it to the curb. If I had people to BBQ for, I wouldn't hesistate to clean it up and use it more.
The smoke stack can be used for grilling too. It's been in the basement, and is in much better shape.
