A Cold Dismal Drizzle Is Falling Here In NYC
Simply bee-yoooooo-tee-ful weather for those of us who actually like to work.
Update: Ooh! And we just had a glorious crackly peal of thunder and lightening!
I guess some folks will stay in Mom’s basement all day now.
Again.

The Revolution will have to wait for better weather… But you’d think my union (SEIU) would have spent some of (my) money rain gear…
What? Actually spend dues money on something of use to the membership?
Are you some kind of rat plant?
I’m not a plant… I’m a hostage to Connecticut’s Closed Shop rules. Since they’ll take the same amount of money (to the tune of almost $900 a year) if I’m in the union or not, I might as well be in and get a vote.
Of course it’s union guys counting the votes…
You are FREE and LIBERATED in your closed shop.
And like you’d do anything useful with that $900 anyway.
What kind of bulbs do you use to lighten the sky?
er, what’s generally used is this really big nu-que-lahr bulb of of hydrogen.
Spelling r hard before I’ve had any coffee!
Of course, helium would lighten it as well, I reckon; or at the very least reduce its density.
Ah. The old density reduction gambit!
How’s that old AGW workin’ out for ya today?
Sound suspiciously like that scene from Life of Brian: “Yes! We’re all individuals!”
Hmmmmmmm…….Cleveland isn’t all that far from New Jersey, right?
Speaking of spending money… I took your advice Mr. B and went with the Weber Performer. The Touch-n-go propane ignition for charcoal is much easier than the chimney – which is easy enough.
I christened it with steaks, then did some great chicken thighs… and um, pretty much ruined a brisket flat on Sunday. But it was fun!
I’ve never tried a brisket in my kettle (I have to admit I’m not a big brisket fan). Did the temps get too high?
I use my WSM for the low-n-slow stuff; on the kettle of late I like to have the coals on either side and cook in the middle then move the flesh over atop the coals for a sear at the end. Seems to work pretty well.
Oh, and then there’s always the gasser which I use for high heat, smoke-free cooking.
I need to buy another grill, I think. I really want a 26 kettle… 🙂
Here are your cast iron grates, Mark!
I may have to get the cast iron grates, because um, it would … help the economy.
When I was out and about last supporting several big box stores a package of these fancy skewers jumped into my cart, of their own volition. Honest Injun, as they say in Massachusetts…
Oh, and I think a 26″ Ranch Kettle would look good on the patio at Chez Bingley. You can probably use it as a fire pit to boot. Or perhaps a Weber Fireplace you can hack into a grill.
Ah, the Ranch kettle. That, my friend, is not the 26″ but is in fact 37″ of grilling nir-farookin-vana.
Oh, and is also costs $1000.
But I really really wants one.
I keep trolling Craig’s list looking for one on the cheap…
What’s an 11 inch difference between friends?
Forget roasting a pig, you could get a whole calf onto a 37 inch grill. Does COSTCO have a stockyard?
Imagine being able to grill an entire uncut ny strip? Oh baby. The acreage on the thing is amazing.
Sigh.
A Costco stockyard…oh, be still my beating heart!
