[TheLaw]

I have never understood why the masses rush to the store and wipe out all the bread and milk when a storm is coming. I bought Steak and Potatoes. I can always start a fire, worst case scenario.

It did take quite a bit longer to cook than normal. I like a Medium Rare steak, which usually cooks pretty fast on this grill but tonight it took much longer. I'm not sure if it was the 25% temps or if it was the 6" of snow on each side of my grill lid. The burner knobs were actually frozen shut and I had to take a torch to loosen them up.

Don't tell JL I was using propane. It's blasphemy as far as he is concerned.

What then, jet fuel? ;-)

Yeah, It's charcoal or nothing for me as well. Charcoal gives the food a better taste, IMHO.

 

[GlockNewb]

Agreed on the charcoal! I did though give in to the evils of ease and bought a propane grill 3 years ago...but miss the natural smoke flavor.

I will use propane under certain circumstances, but lump charcoal is superior. Lighter fluid, however, is of the devil.

Veggy oil and a napkin.

yep, charcoal with hickory chips is the way to go!

welli got about 5 inches of snow in MI here, but my buddy in liberal-chussettes got about 2 feet.

AMEN Don! When the chips are down, it's time to throw on the steaks!!!

You just need a better way:

Propane ain't bad! Lived and cooked 12 days on a propane grill and burner after Hurricane Hugo hit NC in 1989 and 5 days after an ice storm about 6 year ago.
Love cooking on charcoal,actually prefer hickory coals, but it's very near impossible to store enough of either to get you through times like this. 5 each 20# tanks of propane don't take up all that much room!

 

[Osageid]

Cook on both, some reason prefer charcoal for white meats( pork, chicken fish..) propane for red meat

I just use a charcoal chimney. If, I am in a hurry, I put the chimney on the side burner of a gas grill.

I figured it would involve liquid nitrogen or something...
