Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler It's Memorial Day Weekend. Whats on the grill?

The match light burns very quick and can leave a lighter fluid taste in your food.

Stick with high quality charcoal it really does work better. Royal Oak and regular Kingsford works well.

Use a chimney and news paper to light the charcoal quickly without any lighter fluid.

Celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday today. Up at the parent's house and we're going with good old fashioned burgers.

Looks like the cat's opting for lizard. Yuck.

That's an impressive cat, taking down rabbits. I wish I could get my outside ones to take down possums and raccoons, but I'm just not seeing that.

I'll pass along the compliment to her! She is a calico and thus perfectly camoflaged for our heavily wooded subdivision.

We get the bigger game (possums and raccoons) as well, and I'm glad she steers clear of them. Once the wife and I had to shoo a possum out of our garage. He thought he would come in and have a buffet of deer corn and cat food! You should have seen Mrs. medic8r stamping her feet on the driveway, yelling at the top of her lungs for the varmint to never come back!

Friday Night: 2" (about 4cm for our Canadians) ribeyes, baked taters, grilled green bean
Saturday Noon: 3 Racks Spare Ribs for 6 hours, BBQ Beans, tater salad.
Sunday Noon: Seared then smoked a 6LB (a bit under 3kg?)pork loin, done at 5, mashed taters, grilled asparagus and zucchini. Made a mango/pineapple glaze that turned out pretty damn good.
Sunday 8PM: started 3 9lb (4kg) briskets smoking @ 175F. Raise temp slowly until the last 2 hours are at 225F at 4PM Monday afternoon. On white bread with choice of sauce or plain. A whole mess of other stuff around to stuff down your gullet as well.

Daytime Monday: Brats and such for lunch for those who came early. Enough beer consumed by 4 that we had to call a late arriver to pick up some more on his way in.

Holy crap, that's a lot of meat! And you only balanced it off with one

How did he get it to not fall through the grill?

Must have put it on a shish-kebab, perpendicularly

Heehee. It was a giant mutated green bean. Actually guests provided many of the side dishes; I was only referring to what I made.

Although we grill and "Q" year-round Memorial day is the official start of the "Q" season for my buddies and I. We have an extravaganza every year. It just happened to be at my house this year.
