Oh, excellent ideas. Thank you!

 

dang i remember when i usta bbq lol

 

Kinda gets in your system. To put it mildly.

 

First pit and first time welding — only a few cosmetic things left like therm port holes and such.

 

lol

 

Had a rare snow storm Friday night, twice in a week actually. 21F outside and a football game to watch on TV at Lambeau Field so brats seemed like appropriate food.

Fired up the kettle, put the bratwurst in a beer bath of local Pilsner from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery along with some yellow onion. Threw some applewood in the charcoal, let them boil for a bit then straight onto the grill over the embers turning frequently. Saw a tip on line to brush them with olive oil while they’re grilling for a crispier skin, worked great.

Nothing fancy, just good football food on a cold night.

 

The Glen blue was one of the best colors

 

Agreed. It’s like grilling on a 50’s Cadillac haha.

 

That's looking great! Are you going to paint it a fancy color?

I feel like I've seen that shop on here before Haha!

 

Thanks, I’m going for rat rod and leaving as is. A little sanding and some boiled linseed oil to finish it off.

I think I posted one when it got to a point I could cook on it, pardon my excitement

 

Some awesome looking food in here. I'll ad a small contribution. It was -25 over night, but I still wanted pulled pork for lunch today. 15 hours in the adult easy bake oven and it tuned out great.

 

Prob struggled to keep temp up i would guess in that cold?

 

When I checked it was always holding steady. Pellet grill makes it stupid simple. Fuel use wasn't much more than normal. Ran it at 200 overnight and cranked to 225 this morning.

 

Interesting

 

yeah. it surprised me. I had the grill set for 200 overnight. when I checked it at 0800, the meat was at 170. Cranked it to 225 at that time and IT rose about 10 degrees an hour. outside temp never got above -10 while I was cooking. total cook time was 15.5 hours for a 8.8 pound butt.

 

Wow, i cooked a brisket, took longer than that in above 60° outside temps

 

I think it's the pellet grill. keeps very consistent temp. When I did a 14# brisket it took around 22 hours to cook. seems like 1.5hr/pound cook time for butts and briskets for me.
