Hey Guys, BBQ season is here. What's your go to item you like to BBQ? Where do you typically pickup your stuff?

i'm trying to find a decent quantity of marinated shortribs if anyone has recommendations(asian style). I prefer small shops over stores like TnT

I tend to always bring Tandoori chicken from FraserView Meats, but thought I'd change it up this weekend.

[roastpuff]

Love pineapples on the grill.

[!Aznboi128]

Ribs, wings, ribs

I bought a Weber 210 recently... been grilling a ton over the past month. With how hot it is now, I don't want to think about turning on the oven.

I've been grilling up a wide variety of items:
- Indian marinated chicken and lamb from Vancouver Meat Shop (or A1 Meat Shop if I am in Surrey)
- I ground up some chuck from Windsor Meats on Main Street, and grilled hamburger patties
- Grilled pork chops from Windsor Meats
- Grilled chicken souvlaki skewers (from Costco)
- Took a pork tenderloin and coated it in a spicy dry rub. Grilled over indirect heat. Also grilled jalapeno peppers till they were charred. Made tacos with yellow corn tortillas, the tenderloin, grilled jalapenos, white onion, cilantro, and homemade guac
- Grilled sausages (duh)... I actually like the Hallmark turkey sausages from Save-On
- Grilled zucchini, red onion, bell peppers, jalapenos, and made a grilled veggie quinoa salad

[CivicBlues]

Last summer I grilled up some massive Turkey Wings. Surprisingly they were very meaty and full of flavour. Just leave them on the grill for a while though they take a while to cook.

[IMASA]

I picked up a sous vide a while back and have been using that for my meats and finishing up on the BBQ.

Spirit or Genesis 210? The II model? How do you like it as that is basically the BBQ I am looking for.

Spirit 210. I have limited room on my condo balcony. Really like it, you can't go wrong with a Weber. Warms up really quick. Like turn it on and by the time you grab the meat from the fridge, it is almost ready to go. Keeps a nice constant temperature. The cast iron grates can also be flipped around depending on the sear that you want.

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that the warming rack above the grills covers up 1/3 of the grilling area. Since it is a small grilling area to begin with, it makes it kind of tight as you need to reach your tongs underneath the warming rack to get at the food towards the back of the bbq. It is easily removable though.

My parents have the Weber Q3200, been using that one for nearly 10 years. Also works very well!

[roastpuff]

Yeah, it's for a condo balcony as well though I have a bit of room to spare.

Did you get the II? Good to know that the 210 warms up quick - do you find a 2-burner limiting or is it ok for space?

[heisenberg]

theres a korean(??) butcher / meat shop beside Happy Tree House BBQ on Kingsway. Think they have good short ribs and prices arent bad.

for you hot pot lovers, they also carry thinly sliced ribeye(??) for pretty cheap great for hotpot or stir fry.

[320icar]

Last few nights I’ve done beef ribs. Low burner (1 of 3) around 250°, put ribs meat down on the non-burner end of the grill. Cook for around 3 hours until the ribs start to curl. Flip over and glaze for about another 45 minutes. Make some standard bbq sides like beans. Salad and some stove top pasta. Low effort and amazing. I kept the thin side away from the heat, my fiancé likes her meat red. A 3.5 hour cook time softened all the day/collagen and it was delicious. Of course it had a simple dry rub on it too

i've got a bbq and a traeger smoker,
the smoker is awesome! i've done whole chickens, pork tenderloins, salmon, halibut, and steak!
would highly recommend traeger, dead simple to use

[Vansterdam]

my go to butchers/meat shops are windsor meats on Main/Hastings , Rio Friendly Meats on Hastings and Columbus Meat Market on Nanaimo

Han Kook Meat On Kingsway is the Korean place with good pre-marinated stuff.

I also like grabbing the sausages from Santa Barbara on the drive.

also cant go wrong with Vancouver meat shop on Fraser

I second Han Kook Meat on kingsway for BBQ or HotPot purposes

Just a side question, but why do people call it the drive. Is it a hip place nowadays? I don’t head out that way ever

[bcrdukes]

It has always been called The Drive and was hip before it was hip.

[Great68]

I grill with my propane grill year round, but Kamodo season started in March. Here's just a few things I've made this year on it:

I did a 9lb smoked pork shoulder as well but didn't take any pics. Next up is a beef brisket, maybe this weekend.

[Great68]

Damned double post

[punkwax]

^ same here. Napoleon for year round plus a Broil King Keg for summertime low and slow fun.

[Liquid_o2]

I have this one:

I don't find 2 burners limiting. The high BTU for two burners, along with the smaller cooking area means that it is more than enough.

If you have the room on your balcony, you can spend the extra $100 and get the 310. Exactly the same as the 210, but with a larger grilling area and three burners.

[dapperfied]

:yuno: feed me

Do want a bbq but at the same time i'm renting. Hate to buy shit and having to move it later due to relocating..

Turning on the stove/oven in this hot weather is a big fuck no.

[Hondaracer]

is that a smoked meatloaf? fuuuuuuu

[underscore]

What do you guys use to clean the cast grates? Mine are actually starting to get thin in a few spots so I might just need to find replacements at some point.

[Great68]

For cast iron you should just be giving them scrub with a wire brush and then a good oil up while warm. Same premise as a cast iron frying pan.

[originalhypa]

fuk.
I missed lunch today and this thread is making me hungry.

Nice. I am keeping an eye out for sales on Webers but that seems to be very rare, like sales on Apple devices.

'Cause Commercial Drive. How many streets are called "Drive?"

Plus it's not that long........ of a drive, as it turns into Victoria Drive later on. Oh yeah, then Argle, LOL.

[MG1]

There's nothing like roasted corn on the cob on the barbie.......... smothered with Carolina Gold BBQ sauce from Trader Joe's - a match made in heaven.

I purchased this thing from Lee Valley a while ago. Tried it the other day. Damn. How did I get by without it? I mean this thing just slathers on the sauce - thick and even.

Yeah.............. the store that sells overpriced junk for yuppies. Gulolol.

[MG1]

I ordered an outdoor propane BBQ/wok thing. I've been meaning to put it together, but no time. I'm pretty sick and tired of oil all over the stove and even though I have a gas cooktop, it doesn't get as hot as it should.

https://www.amazon.ca/Eastman-Outdoors-37212-Gourmet-Carbon/dp/B0002OOMRG

Beauty of it is it's portable. Flip the grate and it becomes a boiler.

I also purchased one of them BBQ mats to put the thing on, so as not to ruin the deck. Got it at Costco. Similar to this...........

Ichimi or Shichimi (nanami)?


I used to tell my kids it was called, "itchy me toe crasher," lol.

My personal go-to item for a barbecue is slow cooker ribs.

I throw them in the slow cooker for 8 hours on low until they come apart with light fork effort, then throw them onto the grill go a few minutes to let the BBQ sauce caramelize.

[MG1]

Gotta have one of these to take the guesswork out of your cooking..........

https://www.amazon.ca/Lavatools-Javelin-Probe-Thermometer-Chipotle/dp/B00NMQGAT4


I love the magnet feature. I just stick it onto the exterior door. Easy to clean and basically instant.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

For my real southern bbq’s / long cooks I love my maverick
DIGITAL REMOTE BBQ THERMOMETERS ? Maverick Housewares (http://www.maverickhousewares.com/digital-remote-bbq-thermometers/#/et-733-wireless-food-thermometer-set/)
Stick it and go back to sleep lol. I like that I can watch my chamber/ food temp all on one device from inside.
Grilling I don’t bother.

[MG1]

Now I have to get me one of those.......... thanks.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Haha nice! You’re welcome

[roastpuff]

Hey guys, looking at an older Genesis 3-burner.

Is the bubbling on the logo/side of the lid anything to be worried about?

I used to do the same until i bought an instant pot.

40 mins and its fork tender. Slab on some BBQ sauce and put into oven to broil for 5 mins.... perfection.

I would think it's fine as it's just the outside, you may want to throw a new coat of paint or something to beautify it.
as long as the tube burners are good you should be fine.

I picked up a cheap bbq from Lowe's the other day.
https://www.lowes.ca/gas-bbq-grills/master-forge-mf-bk-4-burner-grill-wwindow_g2944143.html

Was on sale for $299 thought might as well, pretty easy to put together so far so good!

[pintoBC_3sgte]

The bubbling might have been from something catching fire, and it got super hot. Should be ok to use though

[roastpuff]

What do you guys think? Needs flavourizer, grates and warming rack replacement it looks like to me.

Need to see it in person.

[bcrdukes]

You should just buy a brand new BBQ. :lol

[roastpuff]

You should just buy a brand new BBQ. :lol

Oh you know, drop $1000 on a brand new BBQ, or 1/4 the price on a used one and refurbish it for another $100 or so.

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Oh you know, drop $1000 on a brand new BBQ, or 1/4 the price on a used one and refurbish it for another $100 or so.

Good deal. I know for my grill, replacing everything that needs fixing would be probably $250. Mine is only a $500 unit though :p

[bcrdukes]

$1000 BBQs for everyone, all day, everyday.
