mrflynn03 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Something available this time of year are garlic scapes. They look like green onions and have a mild garlic flavor. I toss them in olive oil,salt and pepper. Great on the grill and go with anything. Had some last night with grilled mahi mahi. If you can get them definitely worth a try.

But may as well mess with people's heads for a minute and make them think they're eating Flipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with all the other great suggestions in this thread. And what I love to do, as well. As I said. I do both gas and charcoal. And just went out to buy six extra bags of charcoal. It's going to be a great grilling season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get pork chops and season them with something simple like salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder and sear them a little. Then we put them in a foil pan with BBQ sauce and cover. They always turn out great. To tie in the Tabasco thread you could probably add whatever hot sauce you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 I see that fresh Copper River salmon is now available. A short availability time. And much pricier than any other salmon. You will know it when you see it. Deep, deep red. Worth every penny. Should try it once at least. On my way to the store to get my annual treat.

My personal rule of thumb is, if it's going to take more than 30 minutes, I'm going indirect on the charcoal grill. If less, goes on the gas grill. And I second your endorsement of the Weber charcoal holders (you can see them in my pic) for indirect cooking. I ran across them on clearance at my local Walmart for $7. Bought all 5 that they had, and gave away 4 of them. And I, too, will be looking for the Copper River salmon today. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Does anybody else brine (particularly pork and poultry) before they grill/smoke meat? I bought one of these to do my brining, and it works out really well, especially for turkey. The lid locks down to keep all the meat in the brine. My wife thought $33 was a bit much for what amounts to a plastic bucket, but she doesn't gripe about the finished products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiz10 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 A favorite of ours at home: Boneless pork chops marinated in a mixture of *Raspberry preserves/Raspberry vinaigrette dressing* for 1 hour (as long as you like really) Using leftover marinate as a baste while grilling. To finish we add Goat Cheese on top (sometimes while on the grill still/sometimes on side plate at room temp) Nothing too fancy but a little out of the ordinary for those that may want to try something new.

Word of caution. One should never use left over marinade. Not saying if you do or not. Always make enough to keep aside. And baste as you BBQ. Dinner tonight in the mile household. Chicken thighs on the charcoal grill. Already marinading in this simple marinade : 1/2 c. olive oil 1/4 c. lemon juice 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1 clove garlic, minced. 1 tsp. chopped parsley. I double the above recipe. Reserve half. To baste the chicken, while it grills. Tiz. Your recipe sounds great. Thanks for the contribution.

Steubenhoosier Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 You guys talked about “cheating “ on your grilling. For my ribs, I cook them in a slow cooker for about 4-5 hours in a mix of a can of Pepsi and about 2/3 of a can of Fosters- the “oil can “ size. Ribs are almost falling off the bone when I put them on the grill and coat them with sauce. I may not be a purist, but my family loves them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done a few different types of recipes that are similar. On the grill I hold some of the liquid to baste. To keep it consistent with Nelson’s you can cook the chicken in halves.
