Episode-1212- All About Grills, Smokers and Outdoor Cooking




The Survival Podcast show

Summary: TweetSide Box Smokers are Extremely Flexible. Today is Monday and that usually means a listener feedback show.  Here is the deal though, I am in a great mood today and additionally off to a late start.  Monday shows take a while so I am moving it till Monday and frankly some of the stuff the clowns are doing this week, will ruin my mood.  So I thought why not a fun subject we have never covered before.  Grilling! The grill is really an incredible piece of daily living equipment and a great piece of prepper gear.  Grilling is actually one of the easiest and most efficient ways to cook, but a little bit of learned skill and a few tricks of the trade will give better results.  I would estimate I cook dinner on a grill or smoker 90% of the time, and I mean year round. Today I will be discussing mostly grills and side box style smokers with a few other options tossed in.  I will tell you what to look for quality wise, how to avoid expensive mistakes, where to never go cheap and how to get the most out of your equipment. Join Me Today As I Discuss… Why everyone should own and know how to use a grill Why I absolutely hate “all in one” style grills The gas grill, why it is so flexible and what to look for “Inferred gas grills”, no it isn’t just marketing, I am sold Why two smaller grills might be better than one big one The basic charcoal grill, more flexible than you might imagine Ceramic style grills like “the big green egg” etc. The Portable Kitchen Grill – great story, great grill Side box smokers, my favorite way to cook when I have time Tower style smokers Tips on cooking various things on various cookers Resources for today’s show… The Year 1212 The Early Fires of London Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom Shop for TSP Silver TSP Gear PermaEthos.com Western Botanicals – (sponsor of the day) Harvest Eating – (sponsor of the day) Weber Kettle Grills Weber Performance Grill – This is the one with a propane lighting system for charcoal The Charbroil Grill I Own – Make sure to get cast iron tops!
