For me, favorite foods to eat and favorite food to cook on the kettle are two different things.

I, too, am a ribeye lover, but to me, all the elements of the classic American backyard cook come together with chicken quarters. You have the smell of burning charcoal, some indirect, some hot and fast direct, and nothing - NOTHING - comes close to the eye appeal of some perfectly browned quarters interwoven on the grill ,with a thin coating of slightly caramelized BBQ sauce glazing the surface. They don't taste too bad either.

Anything roasted in the kettle, comes out a treat.

Roast pork is a stand out for me, because I've never achieved crackling as good in one of those..er..oven thingies.

I shouldn't have looked on here!  Breakfast is long gone, morning tea is 2 1/4 hours away, and now I'm starving!  ;D

I'm with you on the sausages JB.  usually have peppers, onions, and garlic going in cast iron pan to go with 'em. 

Steaks are a given... a lot of people say ribeye, but I'm going with skirt.  There's nothing like the sweet crust on a medium rare skirt steak off of the weber.

For me its chicken wings both favorite to cook and eat - love the smell and smoke from the direct start and finish indirect. Plus you wouldn't have to twist my arm to much for a ribeye

OK, I have thought this through and I have come to realize that I am too in love with all of them, so I categorized.

Chicken - quarters followed by whole rotisserie chicken 
Pork - St. Louis spares followed closely by Boston Butt
Beef - ribeye

 Good Answer...................... ;D


Same here.....followed closely by legumes, tubers, then vegetables of just about any kind................ 8)


If I had to get real narrow & specific, it would be pulled pork, as opposed to loin or tenderloin, or ribs.....it's all really good & so are a lot of beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, goat & whatever else....oh, fish, etc, type products......guess I just like to eat stuff off the kettle......ya think?



PS: Afterthought......Maybe we should be puttin' up pics of these favorites?

This is really a tough one to answer and for that reason I have avoided doing so. I like pretty much everything from my Webers and hardly have a favorite. First I think lamb chops. Then I wonder if I like salmon better. Or shrimp. But the first cook on my first kettle many years ago - baby back ribs - is still memorable. Open it up to smokers and there is the almost canonical pulled pork. Or turkeys and other poultry. But those are also good on the kettle. And then there are the veggies like squash (zucchini, yellow and butternut) asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, spuds, green beans and the list just goes on and on. I really enjoy all of these and it is difficult to pick one out. But this one edges the others out both on spectacular size and pure deliciousness.

That's the leg of lamb I did for the inaugural cook on my old 26.
