I can't decide yet. There's a couple cookouts/race parties we have invites for but not sure if headed that way. Definitely watching pre-race and first 20 laps or so at home. After that either head to those cookouts or just watch here, throw some food on the grill, and tip a few cold ones.

I’ll be in the same boat. Watching the prerace now. After about 20 laps I’ll head out to the yard with the radio. I keep the tv going so I can check in throughout the race. 
 

What’s everyone doing for the race?

I don’t go regularly so not much change for me. I get the grill going early (ish) and watch the prerace and start. Then I keep the race on and bounce between watching the race, the grill, and whatever else needs done in the yard. 

We also had an unwanted lawn guest last week. 
We let him go on his way. 

Got some chicken on now. Legs are Caribbean jerk and thighs are carne asada marinade. Finished with some green onions.

I have one of those. Can replace with a drill grate that gives grill marks for a steak.

How do you like that system? I’ve been intrigued but haven’t got one.

No pics because I had a hectic day and was in a fog by dinnertime, but I bought a "weber wok" last week and broke it in yesterday on the weber kettle grill with a stir fry and lo mein noodles. I'll try to get a pic next time. I did use lots of zucchini from the garden...which was nice.

Is that the wok that fits in the removable center part of the grate?

Just finished a show called The Good Place with Ted Danson.  Though it was pretty good. 

Just started one on Amazon prime called Mr. Robot.  So far so good.

How’d you watch The Good Place? I’ve watched the first 3 seasons but haven’t seen the fourth available. 

Thank you for the info!

Next time I see one I won’t just take a picture. 

Anyone know what this guy is?

I saw it on one of my tomato plants. The next day every leaf was gone.

Looks like a great meal. Chicken leg quarters are one of my favorite ways to cook chicken.

Wafflehead Fred has lost his job during this pandemic.  And is concentrating on building his BBQ sauce into a part or full time business.  If would like, I can give you his phone number, so that if you would like, you could order some from him.

Does he have any distribution channels?

I’m from the Ft Wayne area and would love to try a new local bbq sauce.

I think I settled on shredded for beef sandwiches...I talked the wife into making fresh bread to make sammies on....Just put some corn on the cob on as well...

Smoked chuck is great on its own. I can’t imagine it with homemade bread.

Yeah...I could not keep all that straight in my head ha....good luck and let us know how it turns out!

You kind of get in a zone when you start each grill one at a time. I have 3 going at a time where 1 won’t change all day. 

We’re having our “big” cookout today. With everything going on it is a smaller version. 
 

I have a pork shoulder and pork chops on. Did some sausage, burgers, and hot dogs earlier. Wings are coming soon.

I meant this one but I’ll take the double!

Registration tags.  You don't need them for a kayak unless you put a trolling motor on it.

We bought them last night. They made it sound like all kayaks needed them.

Got those tags on the yaks?

Which tags?

I don’t fish, but we enjoy hiking and kayaking. We just got new kayaks so we’ll probably take them out this weekend.

I'll try to get some pics up soon. Overall it went well..ribs turned out good. I made mac and cheese as well and it was decent...not as good as I hoped. My wife made potato salad and it was yummy. How did yours turn out?

I was pretty happy with mine. The pork shoulder has been great for lunch tacos!

I see you use a probe.  Is it tied to a cell phone. Or just a monitor.  No big deal either way.  Just curious. As I have seen one used both ways.

It is tied to a monitor that can connect to Bluetooth. It came with 4 probes and has the ability to connect up to 6. 

Got a pork shoulder and chuck roast going now.

So I went to the local meat market yesterday and picked up some more slabs of baby back ribs I'm planning on cooking Sunday. Also got a T-bone steak I threw in freezer for fathers day weekend. Planning on trying the "snake method" for the ribs that @BeerBQ referenced above. I'll report results after.

How is the cook going?

The Weber kettle can be used as a smoker. I set up unlit charcoal on one side with a barrier. You can get fire bricks or a charcoal basket to keep it together. Then add some lit charcoal on top. Leave the top vent open and control temp with the bottom. The food goes on the cool side and may need turned. You’re limited on space but it does a good job. You can also look up the snake method. 

I added a picture with 2 pork butts on a 22.5” kettle.
