Food is good, especially barbeque. I grew up in southern California and really miss all the wonderful places to eat. Moved to rural Oregon in 2005 and now have to fend for myself. It sure did get me into cooking. For the last several years I've been using a Weber bullet for my barbecue fix and only recently been back into grilling. Here's the Weber bullet in action:
Smoking a ham on Christmas morning 2008.
It works great for low & slow barbeque but it can be a lot of work. Just the wife & I to cook for and it's silly spending 12 hours on a 14 pound brisket. Lots of left-overs so we did get a food saver for freezing pulled pork and the like, but it's a lot of work. Here's a picture of a brisket:
Tri-tip is a great alternative. Three pounds of meat in half an hour, very doable after working all day. A cocktail or two while cooking doesn't hurt either. My goal with the tri-tip was to do it like a BBQ joint I used to frequent in So Cal called <broken link removed>. I'm getting close. Check out the pictures of his stuff on the link. Mind-blowing good food, the yams were something special. Have to try them next. I sure miss that place!
Once again my tri-tip from last night:
Tell us about your barbeque.
