Had my mother and her husband over for dinner the other night. I kept it basic but tasty. Kansas City strips and some basement potatoes.  Love the sear grate. I picked up some Weber potato nails that day. Love those too.







Played with some garlic bread..



Thanks for looking.

Looks good, Craig.  Did the potatoes cook faster/better with the nails? I picked some up too but haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Steaks looked perfect Craig.
What did you think of those potato nails?
Kettle collector AND cooker!

Thanks for the compliments guys! The potato nails work nicely. They cut the time down from an hour to about 30-35 minutes. I left mine on for about 40 minutes though. I used to use foil and leave them on the cooking grate and that takes too long. I love Ken's (1Buckie) "basement" method of keeping them downstairs with the coals doesn't burn them at all.

I just noticed how messy my dinner table looked in that photo... kind of embarrassed.  :-[

It's a good dam thing 'cause I woulda got kicked outta here a year ago if messy was a criteria !!!!

Glad the basement deal works good for ya......those nail things are great.....don't have the individual Weber ones, but a stabber thing that works the same......I can get the race car effect by setting it on top of a firebrick, which heats great !!!!
