I only barbecue with charcoal, specifically because of the flavor. I also do not use lighter fluid, for the same reason.

I use charcoal on occasion, but my big grill is all infrared. Then I put wood chips in the tray to get the taste I want. Best grill I've ever owned. I do like to cook with charcoal though. I used my smoker/ grill twice last year for grilling. Once during the C-D BBQ

Hamburger or buffalo, medium well, onions, cheese, dill pickles, ketchup. Both with a bun & without. Sides would be fries, onion rings, potato salad, beans or cole slaw. Drinks... Alaskan White, root beer, water or lemonade.

Barkley you getting hit with rough weather back that way?

Larger chunks of mesquite wood placed right over begining of ea. burner on a gas grill work well. I have two gas Weber grills and two charcoal Webers. Love'em all.

all organic & pasture fed: 1/4 beef, 1/4 lamb, 1/4 buffalo, 1/4 wild venison (or moose)

Mix in finely diced onions & garlic, worcestershire sauce, a dollop of dijon mustard, a smidge of horseradish, 1 egg (as a binder), salt & black pepper to taste

Grill lightly over hardwood, center should be warm but still red and juicy

Top with grilled onions & mushrooms, crumbled blue cheese, crunchy slab bacon, and a thick slice of cheddar to lock it all together

Fresh lettuce & tomato slices, avocado slices, a tiny smear of dijon-horseradish-mayo mix on a buttered & lightly toasted kaiser or sourdough roll

Any classic side would work... but Red White & Blue potato salad (with blue cheese & bacon crumbles) is my favorite. A spicy ginger beer or hard lemonade/cider.

Dang! You forgot the kitchen sink. That ultimate burger is banned in at least 3 states.

LOL Glitch - truly excellent food has always been deemed "sinful"

Yup, is good stuff!!!!, This is the first year I've been able to grow poblanos, from here on, I will have seed. Smoked (as in a smoker, not rolled up as is done (so I understand ) with other herbal substances) it is even better, in Spanish, the term is "Chipotle", also.....it is a poblano as long as the pepper is green, when it turns the dark purplish black, it is properly called an "Ancho" pepper - either way it is really good!
