So having cooked with the Webers now for a while I have observed that the airflow settings are very very conservative. These are 100% set up for people who don’t want to have to watch them super close to make quality back yard bbq. They won’t flare up and they won’t get super hot with the lid on even with the vents wide open which makes them very forgiving and is probably why they’re so popular.

These basically replace my BGE which costs ~5x what the Master Touch kettle and the Smokey Joe cost combined. The one thing I really miss is being able to open the air vents at the end of a cook and spike the temp to crisp something up without putting it right over the coals. The only way to do this with the kettle airflow limitations is to take the lid off and let the coals get all the air they need to get to full heat and then go back to indirect cooking or sear directly over the coals.

Definitely not a deal breaker just part of the fun of learning to cook on something new.

I’ve never grown tomatoes caprese before but they do look a lot like basil.

I  would have planted mine outside early after the warm weather and the late cold snap might have killed it.

Found a chuck eye steak and made it with some grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon. It didn’t suck.

For lunch, I fried some ground chuck in a sauce pan. It was in the fridge for about 10 days, with a dusting of sea salt and ground peppercorns.

Some Uncle Ben's, just a few months out-of-date (dumpster find), on the side. I boiled that with Knorr's Chinese chicken flavored broth mix (a fancy name for bouillon, says I) which, like all my Chinese bouillon and broths, was also found in a dumpster. Broccoli crowns inserted in the rice after removing it from the heat, to steam them while maintaining crisp texture.

Finally, a mixture of Aldi brand seasoned fries and tater tots, baked for 20 minutes in a Euro-style electric toaster oven (dumpster) with Heinz ketchup. (All my ketchups come from dumpsters. Cabella is the best, IMAO.)
