Grill / Smoker / Other Meat Prep

[JDavisRoby]

Curious what everyone’s preferred methods for preparing meat to pair with your delicious wines.

1. Grill - Weber Kettle (Hasty Bake on my wish list)
2. Smoker - Traeger - I’m a cheater but it’s too easy and darn good
3. Sous Vide - My newest meat prep device. Anyone else experimenting with this technique?

Wrong forum. Try EE.

Thanks Gary. Still new around here. Hadn’t made it that far down the board index yet.

Grill: Weber Kettle and 18 year old Viking propane when i am lazy
Smoker: Bradley Electric puck smoker (I am lazy)
SV: Have the Anova, but have not used it yet. One day I will try it ....

[JDavisRoby]

Clarkston, I have a Bradley as well. But don’t use it anymore. Find Traeger to be far superior. Probably mainly because the pucks can be hard for me to find locally.

Grilling, hands down. I have neither the patience nor the equipment to do long smokes.

So that was a bit dramatic. I have a Vision kamado, which works, but is a pain in the ass to go much longer than a 3 hr spareribs cook with a constant temp at <=275 on.

I’ve done ribs on my Weber Kettle but don’t have the desire to do more.

That’s what I love the Traeger (or my Bradley before that). It gives a more than adequate final product with much less work.

Weber Kettle, BGE XL, Joule (used once)

For smoking on the BGE, the FlameBoss is life-changing.

Which flame boss do you use?

Gas Lynx grill when I don’t want to fuss around
Stumps Smoker (charcoal) w/ BBQ guru when I want to smoke
Pizza oven (wood fired) when I want, well, pizza of course, but it cooks a great steak on a Tuscan grill
And we have a Joule we recently purchased and are learning to use.
Big believer in having the right tool, though it’s all good.
Before the Stumps I had figured out a way to smoke pork butts in the pizza oven.

Never seen a Stumps before. Interesting design. Do you use the ball valve to control the temp?
