Outdoor Cooking with a New Weber Grill
I recently purchased a new Weber grill and I absolutely love it! Now, I prefer charcoal over gas for outdoor cooking. It just seems more “outdoorsy” and natural to me. So charcoal was my choice in my new grill too.
My image of Weber grills has always been their black sort of kettle shaped grills that everybody had many many years ago (before they bought their big gas grills). Actually, that is the model I was still using and I absolutely needed something new. As I did some research, I quickly learned that Weber has quite an assortment now.
The grill I choose does have the typical Weber style kettle, but so much more as well. Outdoor cooking has become an absolute pleasure. My model includes a good sized counter top or work area attached to the grill with hooks to hang utensils, a bin for the charcoal, and a wire shelf across the bottom.
The best part is the automatic charcoal starter. All I have to do is push a button and some gas ignites the charcoal. I relax for about 15 minutes and the coals are ready. The process is so easy and so clean.
The outdoor cooking part is much easier with this design too. The coals are held within some metal containers, so I have the choice of cooking the meat directly over the heat or off to the sides. I have so much more control over the cooking process.
Now I can count on a predictable and delicious result everytime!
