[bearfan454]

I am making fresh Polish sausage from Chicago out on the grill served on a bolillo roll with green peppers and onions sauteed in extra virgin olive oil. What are you bbqing ?

1. you ain't bbq'n, yer grillin' (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

purists will tell ya bbq is "low and slow" whereas grilling is high heat.

The other day I grilled a fancypants pork loin, marinated in jerk rub, then butterflied and stuffed with black olive tapenade, and wrapped with my homemade bacon (made with my trusty smoker). The next day, it was dogs and kraut.

Sadly, no grilling scheduled today.

2. see thats not right you meanie

I was all ready to grill up T-bones the size of Bill Oreilleys head but I woke up and its rainin' like a mofo

3. heck, you can grill in the rain! especially big steaks since they don't

have to be turned but one time (well, you can rotate them 90 degrees when they're halfway thru the first side---or even after 2 mins if you like---if you want to make the distinctive crosshatch pattern that grillmasters take pride in). So you'll grill those big boys, what, like a total of 7 or 8 minutes per side (ok, maybe a few more if they're REALLY as big as that guy's noggin). And if they're thicker than your hand, which it sounds like they are, you can close the lid.

So yer good to go!

9. LOL

that boy does have one hell of a noggin. Thing is up her in the NW when it rains its cold and them coals muha fugga to keep hot. I'm not of the natural gas family when it comes to grillin'

4. well, it's pouring down rain! & we just bought our first bbq yesterday!

we didn't it use it yesterday because of prior plans, but now it's going to be a pain if we want to grill!

5. no carport or garage (at the edge, with the door OPEN so you don't die)

or overhang or whatnot? You only need a wee bit of cover for your grill.

Whaddya get? Whaddya get? Weber? Charcoal or gas?

Whatcha gonna make first?

On edit: Best book you can buy---How to Grill by Steven Raichlen. Great, explicit instructions, loads of pictures, and tremendously tasty recipes. Actually, all his books are great, but I would start with that one. You'll be making east/west chicken wings, asparagus rafts, and even PIZZA on the grill before you know it.
