Man I wish I had the time to cook some of the awesome dishes I'm seeing here. Unfortunately I was out of town for the weekend visiting family in the Chicago area, which is always exhausting. On the bright side, I did get to visit my happy place for lunch today. Portillos!!! The best Italian beef and Chicago dogs on the planet!
I know, I look like a moron. I just couldn't resist.
Anyway, I made sure I got back home to Iowa in time to do a quick dinner time cook. No way I wasn't going to participate in this event. I figured this was a good time to try out my 18" OTS that I converted to a fancy OTG. This was it's first cook since the conversion.
I added some wood handles from Brian, a Weber Thermometer that I poached from my 26" (after adding a big ass summit thermo to the 26"), a vent handle that I ordered from Weber last week and of course the ash bucket assembly that I got off of a really beat 18" OTG kettle. This thing worked like a champ.
Got a half chimney of coals ready while I ran out to the store.
Of course, everyone wanted something different tonight.
- 2 Spicy Italian sausages
- 2 chicken kabobs: 1 marinated, 1 plain
- 1 cheesburger
- Steemed mushrooms in butter
Everything turned out awesome and now I'm sitting pretty with my food coma. Glad I got to be a part of this awesome event.
