f7ben Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I toured the Memphis production plant. A lot of the parts are made and assembled in Minneapolis and I knew an engineer that worked there. Talk about high end grills. The showroom was full of models from 3-5k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick with the Kettle before spending that much on a grill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Does anyone have any suggestions for online meat? With the meat shortages certain products may not be available locally. One way or another I'm going to try my hand at smoked brisket this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten the rub yet, but the sauces are fantastic! The hard part is choosing which one to use. If you grill any seafood you should try Shore Thing.

I'll stock up on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will flare up if the steak is directly over the firepot. Flare up is good,as long as you can control it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said their isn’t a shortage from his suppliers,but people are definitely hoarding. Once those people get their freezers full,it will be fine again he said. Look up small family owned butchers in your area and just place a order with them. He said he sold more ribs last week,than he sells in a month. He said their is nothing he can’t get. Put a big cooler in the back of the car and take a nice drive. I’m lucky that my butcher is around the corner.

Woodtick Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Bought a few fresh chickens from the butcher,only $3 a pound. This electric smoker is awesome in the cold and rain. I wanted to do the snake on the weber,but it’s raining pretty hard and 45deg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can take some abuse and don’t flex or bend when fully loaded. The lip around the edge keeps the wife from yelling at me from dripping and spilling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a nice afternoon and drive down there before ordering from someplace online. Looks like they're set up for selling from the front porch for now. http://www.templetonfarm.com/php/farmstore.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
