    Can you believe I never had a brat as a child?  Now I LOVE those things.  Great meal that you put together here.

    Love a good brat. Looking good man. You need to drop some grease or something on that gasket. It's glowing.

    Actually used a great mustard relish mix of sorts.

    Funny story in my family. My uncle owns a restaurant and this guy claims to be the authority on Prime Rib. My uncle cuts him the best MR slice personally and serves him in order to get his feedback. Guy dumps half a bottle of Heinz on it and proceeds to say it was "pretty good" what an expert huh? LOL

    The food looks great but your kitchen looks fabulous. May I see more of it and would you let us know where you purchased and how you put the pieces together?

    jalapeno and Venetian brats ...
    Jalapeno and WHAT brats?  You grind up some Romans and maybe a few Sicilians, in there, too?  What the heck is a jalapeño and Venetian brat, and why am I the only one who finds this a little odd?

    I couldn't seem to get to sleep, so I came online for a few minutes, and I'm hoping I'm just sort of dreaming, and that when I come back after a little sleep, there won't be any cannibal brats here, after all...  ;)

    LOL. Well my grandmother is from Florence, so no Northerners. Lol. 


    Two kinds, first jalapeño and cheddar, second is Venetian.  The Venetian were a bit heavy handed with the basil, but I suppose some people like that.

    The stainless stuff is simply a prepackaged Weber unit. They don't make it anymore, but there might be some old stock lying around. It's the Weber Summit Social Center. They make something similar, but not quite as eloborate.

    Ah, I'm glad no Venetians were sacrificed!  :)  Never heard of a Venetian brat before, but it was the "jalapeño and Venetian" brats that threw me -- I thought it was a brat that had jalapeños and something else that autocorrect turned into Venetian.  All I could think of was venison maybe, but it didn't sound likely.

    OK, now I get it.  I love basil, wouldn't want a basil overload all the time, but once in a while a brat loaded with basil sounds pretty good!

    I noticed on the picture you have grill grates. Any thoughts or advice.? I am thinking about buying some myself.

    I love them. No maintenance and they work as advertised. You can also flip them and use the flat side for a nearly full contact sear. I move them throughout my stable of various cookers. For me they are a yes. Not inexpensive, but very well made. Good luck!

    I recently bought GrillGrates hoping that they'd trap some of the fat from burgers so there'd be less burnt fat smoke making them taste lousy.  They do seem to work for that, and I'm happy I got them.  I just used them on a jerk chicken cook, and again, I think they may have cut back on chicken fat flareups, so, again, I'm glad.

    However, I may be a minority of one on this, but I don't think steak sears as well on them, and I won't be using them for steak.  They make really nice grill marks, but the places between the grill marks were LESS seared than if I'd used the regular grate.  Overall, with a normal grate I get less pretty grill marks but a BETTER crusty sear over the entire surface of the steak.

    FYI

    If it's a whole surface sear you seek, simply turn the grill grates over to the flat side.
