I went to a commune once back in my misspent youth. They were all naked.

Sounds better than it is. Don't imagine nude models. Imagine the next roomful of actual people you are in all nude. *shudders*

Look for Stubbs BBQ Sauce. A lot of the chain food stores around here carry it.

Stubbs is really good... Hickory Bourbon!

+1 on Stubbs. I'm over Sweet Baby Ray's.

it's called a grand turbo by bbq galore



thanks fellas.

The white area is an infrared rotisserie burner. They are pretty common in higher end grills and do a great job with even heat for that type of cooking. I had a 52" Grand Turbo years ago before I discovered the Big Green Egg and now I have moved on to all charcoal cooking. The GT is a very sturdy unit that will last a long time if properly taken care of.

Bought the stubbs. Tasted good, a little more watery than the sweet rays if that makes sense.

Family prefers the taste of the sweet rays but i am going to try the stubbs again with more sauce, maybe some type of blind taste test.

Thanks.

[KingOfJericho]

Yeah Sweet Baby Ray's is definitely the goopy bbq sauce most are used to. I prefer the stubbs consistency.

I just bought an insane amount of ribs,chicken etc. for a bday party this weekend...maybe I'll give Stubbs a try

Who do you call to clean your grill?

I went on yelp, found a guy who busted his ass cleaning it, over 4 hours in the florida heat and for under 150. Crazy deal. I have been BBQ every night since saturday

I think the point was that we didn't even realize a service like that exists!

I typically suck it up and clean the damn thing myself.

What do they use? steam cleaning?

He took it apart, and cleaned up all the parts, the burners, the grates are very heavy duty 304 stainless so he was using grinders on that thing, also grinder on the grill any rusty areas or really dirty areas.

and it looked like he has all types of sprays, probably degreasers and stuff.

I would have cleaned it myself but it was really dirty and having just moved into this place(grill been here for 10 years) i wanted a professional to tell me if it was in good working(safe) condition...

Hey I wouldn't want to clean someone else's grill! I may look into this, good option for every couple years.

Yup, I recently switched from SBR to Stubbs too. dat Sweet Heat

[upstatedoc]

stub's got bite!

[UncleWede]

There are several places around me that do this service. I've never tried it myself, but imagine a lot of upselling occurs during the cleaning.

Sir, your burners are a little rusty, and may be leaking gas - Cha-ching

Sir, you ignitor doesn't light on every press. This could allow gas to build up for 1/2 second and cause an explosion - Cha-ching

There is something therapeutic about totally dismantling the grill, scarping all the burnt stuff off the sides, soaking the grates, and putting it all back together for a quick light and burn of some more cow flesh. First world problems, indeed

Man that looks clean.
To answer your question about the meat from Costco, we buy chunk meat, and ground beef from them; quality is not bad. My wife loves their meats. My mom loves Sam's club meat too.

[barfastic]

It looks to me liek an IR heater panel... Usually used to regulate the temp over the entier area inside the grill, but it could also be a Rotis heater.

Happy meating!
