I have sinned...

Killit_and_Grillit

I got my large egg for Christmas. I have cooked on it about a dozen times so far. But I disassembled it to build it a new home and it wasn't reassembled yet. I had to fire up the weber tonight with briquettes and (gulp) lighter fluid. I walked outside and could smell the difference immediately. The horror...

Maybe I should bypass the chicken and just have the cigar and bourbon for dinner.

At least you didn't cook with gas.

^^^^ +1. Why didn't you use lump in the weber?

SGH

Nothing wrong with cooking on the ole Weber. I do it all the time. Congradulations on the egg and welcome aboard.

Or light the briquettes with some method other than lighter fluid?

FYI, apply what you learn on your egg to your Weber and you'll have 2 cookers you will want to use.

For your Weber I have two words...Charcoal Chimney...for lighting charcoal.

Killit_and_Grillit

Lump and my coil/starters were at my parents where I am moving it from. Just had my temporary setup at the house since I got out of the Army. All of my old charcoal grill setup is still in temporary storage courtesy of the gubmint.

Killit_and_Grillit

Yep. My chimney is over there too. I am telling ya if it hadn't rained for a week straight I would have rubbed 2 sticks together.

Killit_and_Grillit

I am in the process of building my outside kitchen but have had some rain delays. Hopefully by Feb I will have my roof, lights, stainless worktable, egg, weber and burners outside. Match that with my outdoor fireplace and if y'all act right I might invite you over.

I will be looking for my invitation!

Hmm, as a Tennessee family my wife has very specific rules about letting Dawgs in the house, John. Scraps on the porch may be a possibility.

Oh no he dit'ant? Well, these days it's hard to argue with you especially after the Dawgs losing to GA Tech. Anyway, welcome aboard and thank you for your service.

Hey welcome. I can act nice sometimes >:) I still have a gas job. Have a gas stove in my basement. And cook over my fire pit. Use the tools on hand. Thanks for your service. Even if was just the army From an old jar head in Cincinnati.

Love your choice for dinner

Killit_and_Grillit

Ahh...always a pleasure to have an empty vessel on board, urban. Never know when one will need a big pile of rocks turned into a small pile of rocks. Love me some Marines. Give a bunch of 18 year old kids from Texas some explosives and lack of supervision and roll in 3 days later with an LZ and a case of local brew waiting.

UrbanForestTurnings

The good old days. Would use a little c-4 to cook r c-rats if heat tabs were toast. Rats much better than them mres u had. Right tool for the right cook

UrbanForestTurnings

See you have a large egg. Go figure. Jar head has bigger egg than a dawg. :-? Good luck my brother. On that build. Standing by

I am pretty sure I am still working on passing some Chili Mac from a field exercise in 2012. Never found this 1, must have been a SSG special.

You could have used lump charcoal in the weber. I have a little potable grill that I use for cooking corn in the shuck. I have a few briquettes in the garage and thats what I used a few times just to rid my garage of the briquettes. I no longer used the lighter fluid though. LOL, I Mapp torch the puppies.
