Went to buy charcoal at the hardware store and it had the Egg. That is one well put together piece of machinery.

Little of a hijack. Which would you buy? I took the middle 'cause that's what the store recommended, I'm a newbie at this.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I was told I can use any brand as long as its the lump charcoal. I'm obviously using the big egg brand first as it came with it.

Grilled some ribeyes tonight. Best steaks ever grilled at my house! Grilled them at 600* and it makes all the difference in the world. I love how exact you can get the temp and leave it there. Much better than fighting my old charcoal grill.

Haha! Well, here was my first ribeye attempt. It turned out about medium well. Cooked at 600*.

I use those grills at public parks, lol. I don't grill enough to justify owning one. And its a good reason to get out of the house, sometimes. Works out fine for me most of the time. You just need one of those chimmney things to get the coals lit. Its very difficult to get good heat going in one of those square public grills.

You can't go wrong with Webber Genesis. They aren't cheap but I love mine. It's going on 7 years old and still works as good as the day I bought it. It's been outside in Wisconsin the whole time I've owned it and to this point has shown minimal wear. I use it all year long and quite often(since my wife doesn't like to cook).  Personally I don't like food on a charcoal grill. Burgers and sausage are fine but IMO it ruins any seafood or a steak.

I'll second this, Weber grill are very high quality and they back it up with a lifetime warranty that is second to none.   Mine is outside 365 days a year, and not a single part has rust on it, I do cover it maybe 50% of the time, but still.

Be sure you get the one you want, because you won't replace your Weber for 10-15 years at least.

Did I mention I'm a fan of the Weber brand? LOL

The chimneys are the only way to go. I have used one of those for years. I could imagine it would be pretty hard to maintain heat in one of those grills in the park. We love to grill out (we just haven't had a lot of time lately to do it), I was surprised at how much faster the process was compared to my other one. I am very pleased so far.

I use the Thermapen to get my meats to finish perfectly. It is almost instant read. Highly recommended.

I have a ThermoPop: http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop

Works almost as well (3-4 seconds instead of 2-3 seconds) for 1/3rd the price.

I've read excellent reviews on these and would have gotten one for myself if I didn't already have a thermometer for work.

What I use is an Atkins AquaTuff, which is a little pricey just for personal use, but I do find I like having multiple probes. I can clip the air probe on my grate for a true temperature reading on the cooking area instead of relying on the lid thermometer (which doesn't give me an accurate read anyway) and have the meat probe in my meat at the same time. This allows me to check both temps without having to open the lid.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
