Does steak and scallops qualify …. ??
Ole Man Winter is taking his sweet time arriving here in the GWN. Sunny this weekend, and highs of about 10℃ (50℉).
I decided to haul up from the basement one of my
hibernating kettles …. The 20 year old red 22 OTG.
I fired up a full chimney of re-used lump using
pube cubes that I had made earlier in the day.
I find that re-used lump takes much longer to light as compared to fresh-out-of-the-bag lump. Also seems to not get as hot once in the kettle.
Regardless, I am a charcoal miser, so I will continue to do this.
I am finishing up some striploins that have been
in the freezer for nearly a year. One remaining.
These were 17oz each.
Some fresh scallops. Light coating of EVOO plus S&P. Total of about 5 minutes on the grill.
Back resting in the garage. This kettle is gorgeous. It was my very first Weber kettle rescue.
It started life as a One-Touch. I converted it this past spring to a Gold.
We skipped the starch for this meal. Just a salad and protein.
The steak turned out medium - nice and pink throughout. The scallops melted in my mouth.
