Made this recipe a few days ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/02/dining/02mini.html?WT.mc_id=yt_nyt491&WT.mc;_ev=click&_r=0&adxnnl;=1&adxnnlx;=1415547599-bBZHi9OcfkJifIBWx2z8lg Turned out really good. I substituted kale (added in right at the end so it didn't get too mushy and gross) for the chicken. That let me check the doneness of the pasta more often so I knew when to take it off.

I dont see the link. Its a home page.

What do you employ to stop flare ups on your grill?

I have a water bottle with a spray attachment. It even puts out oil fires, kind of.

Do you use lava rocks or have some other device under the grate?

Fake charcoals. They even out the flames a bit.

I had an epiphany and started moistening my lava rocks as they flare. Its kinda amazing to cook like that, and definitely not recommended, so as usual I had to try it. Its a crazy combo of steam, fire, dry heat, moist heat, and hollywood pyrotechnics. Evidently the internet says the rocks will explode, which mine do not, and doesnt say how much moisture the rocks can hold, which is the neat part. And its really clean to boot. I may blow up my grill and take a good section of deck off with it, but so far its really cool. I was grilling, and having flares, and I decided to try putting myself in the shoes of the persons who came up with lava rock in the first place, because I wasnt having positive thoughts about them, and realized they could not have been that wrong on a product shipped internationally, so I must be misunderstanding how to use them. I have never been to Hawaii, and the only real lava images I know of I had seen on tv. What hit me was the images of the lava hitting the ocean water, and since I knew how porous the lava rock was, I had a eureka moment and havent looked back. But its lonely out here on the fringe and I thought I would ask about how others handle flares. I once had this little box that kinda acted like a catalytic converter with the low oxygen coating it had on it, but it was 100 bucks and tended to rust out if you nicked the special coating. I havent been able to find them anymore since the Great Recession, but that thing was the best anti flare device I had used to date. I think it was called a grillmate or a chefsmate. It was from Australia. Very good for dry grilling. This lava rock thing has some legs now though. Very juicy results.

This is okay for quick BBQ, but if you want to slow cook I would use real coals in a "smoker". Open the vents just enough air to the coals to continue to smoulder for 3-6 hours or so.

My mom cooked a goose on our BBQ which started a real fire. I eventually put it out with a garden hose. I though it was a complete waste, but pulled out the goose and wiped off the black layer of burned grease from the goose. Turned out the meat was really tasty, and the fat separated the skin from the meat. With some marmalade sauce, that goose tasted really good. The meat was a perfect soft moist texture with just a barely perceptible "goose" flavor.

Isnt it funny how hot you can cook a bird and that skin really seperates the heat from the meat. I am toying with smoking a turkey I have defrosting in my small fridge. Its a fairly big bird, and I have no idea which wood I should use.

My smokers can handle a turkey I think.

I've never smoked a turkey, but I would break it down and do it in pieces.

I have - twice now. Best turkey I've ever had. Just a turkey breast, all in one, smoked for about 2.5 hours. I make the rub myself by just mixing a bunch of stuff together until it tastes good.

Do you brine it first? I always brine my turkeys (and pork loin, too).

No. No need to at all.

I thaw it, pat it dry, rub it, and smoke it.

    • Day 34 - 2024-11-03 Ten minutes of work before Junior Elite this morning. Woke up "early" because of the time change.
    • Day 185 (03 Nov 24) - More work with the irons, well just the 6i, hitting into the net focused on setup and tempo.  Really more about the latter rather than former.  Slowed tempo to more of short punch swing, contact much improved.  
    • I ended up playing Shingle Creek GC in Orlando bc what I found online said The Magnolia Course had some temporary greens and/or teeboxes.  It was just a month after Hurricane Milton, though Orlando was mostly spared. Shingle Creek was only 2.5 miles from our hotel, so very convenient.  The entire course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly.  I shot a ho-hum 82 from 6300 yds, mostly bc my putting currently sucks.  We didn't stay for lunch bc my wife and I had massages booked at the hotel and we were on a time crunch.
    • Well this has been a disaster of a summer, regarding playing. Played the least amount of golf in a summer since 2008. Yips on short game to partial wedges came in full hog. Full swing continued to be ok. Putting was the best part of my game. Handicap went from +2.5 to now 0.0. The number of rounds were low because I taught much more. Numbers are up over 50% from last year. A great thing but my own game was sacrificed and it annoys me a little. Short game really suffered from lack of play and practice.  I had rounds where I would lay sod over the ball, from the rough with a decent lie, looking at a simple chip from barely off green uphill to a pin. It would happen several times a round. I resorted to putting or using a 2iron to chip with. Obviously the less short game shots meant full swing was good. But, if it was off a little, I was screwed. My right wrist, elbow and knee all buckled and jerked right before impact. I couldn’t stop it. Tried everything I could think of. I went through a week occasionally that something would work, but never stuck. I remember not even having a club in hand. Just looking down at the ball and knowing I was in trouble.  A couple weeks ago, I watched a short game chef video on chipping and it has really helped turn my short game around. Yips aren’t completely gone, but very minimal now. Most of my issues now are distance control as the flight is slightly different. It was clear that I was too steep before. But I also realized I was decelerating quite a bit and trying to compress it for spin. Now, I’m much more neutral in setup. I’m really focusing in the very beginning of my take away and making my chest do everything there. If hands do anything to start, it will be a yip chunk or skull. I’m Trying to take shorter backswings and accelerate more through the ball without a feeling of “compressing” it. Allowing my draw biased motion to do its thing.  It’s resulting in much higher ball flights which means distance control up to 75yds will have to be reworked. The ball still has plenty of spin. I’m also able to use any club now to chip with versus feeling stuck with one.  My goal this off season is to try and break 60 from the forward tees at my home course. It will focus my game on tee shots and short game. Putting has become almost second nature and am not worried about it. Most of all, I need to figure out a better balance next year between work and play. Maintaining a high level of play is important to me (especially to my stress levels 😆).
