I currently have a Weber Performer and a WSM. I love them both and the Performer has been my go to grill for our family. Recently, I've had two of my oldest kids move back home. Most of you probably know how that goes.
The problem: since our family has grown again, I have found that there are times when I start running out of grill room. Especially, since I like doing a lot of indirect cooking.
The solution: picked up a new drum grill after following Tri-tip's posts. He resides in Orange County which isn't to far from where I live and he picked up his grill from a guy who builds these out of his garage.
I picked this one up a week ago and spent most of the day yesterday grinding the paint out of the inside of the cooking chamber. After that, I coated it inside and out with cooking oil and then lit a fire to season it. Added some hickory to help with the process.
Here's some pictures of the new grill and our first cook. Sunday fajitas using a nice cut of flank stake!!
Here's the flank stake on the grill with a foiled brick for some weight.
Flank stake turned over.
Flank stake is done. Now it goes into the kitchen to rest and cool down before slicing into 1/4 inch strips.
Now the bell pepper, red peppers and onions are cooked in a fry pan. The flank steak will be added when everything else is ready.
The plated fajitas and some grilled corn. It was pretty good! Thanks Tri-tip.
