Smoke Somethin

Got this char-griller premium kettle for my birthday, it says its a smoker too.

So after a little research and about 40 bucks for charcoal baskets and a pizza stone I'm gonna give it a shot.

Here's the kettle

Charcoal baskets

Modified grate out of my old grill, had to cut the sides off, and hit it with a hammer a couple times so it would get past these bolts.

Pizza Stone(heat diffuser)

Forgot to add the apple wood, it wasn't that bad to open everything back up. Glad I took out some of the center of the old grate.

Iron mikes mustard Bbq for a binder and Montreal steak, some minced onions, salt and pepper on the rub.

Made some breakfast chops and shrimp last night.
I was just trying to make some room in the freezer and see what all was in there. I kinda over heated the shrimp, or they had just been in the freezer too long.

What's a coconut shrimp anyway? I kinda thought that's what they called these breaded butterflied out shrimp at Ruth's Chris, those things were amazing whatever they were
 
You would have liked these ones in talking about. They might not have even been coconut lol.


As you guys know, I'm kind of addicted to typing weber into Craigslist. Few local results are found lol. So I drove to kc for an 18 inch weber smokey mountain for 50 bucks. I will post some pics tomorrow. I also grabbed this Smokey Joe and a little cooler for 4 dollars that I have been seeing on there.

And I took the kids to Krispy kreme, and let them see the doughnuts getting made. Had a good time
 
Went the way of Texas Twinkies, but so the better half would like them, I used Poblanos, and pimento spread, sirloin from the day before.  Larger than you would think, but still good.  I'd prefer more heat, but didn't want to fry the spouse on Mother's Day.  I'll have plenty of opportunities to screw up later this year.

I need a 22 so I can have the goldilocks thing going on! The first 50 dollar one I see is mine lol.

Its crazy how good these things clean up. Weber really knew what they were doing when they made these things.

Take this 1990 Blue One Touch Plus for example
I think it was covered most of its life, its actually in really good shape. When I get the handles sanded and get poly on them it will look really nice.
