If you like good spices to rub on your steaks, ribs, etc., try
www.penzeys.com
I've used most of the meat rubs they sell, and they are heavenly.

Shipping costs on a race car hood from NYC to Ari-by God-zona would be a fortune...

I fired up the gas grill today. Damn shame, there was no snow to melt. 40* F (6*C?) and toasty warm, with only a little wind. Charcoal pwns, but I don't have time to gather kindling on a weeknight. I almost ended up doing it though, since the propane tank was gettin' low. I made it last for tonight, but next weekend I'm going to the hardware store and getting some more.

If I'm anywhere near a real charcoal grill, I like to use a combination of lump charcoal and soaked hickory chunks. I've used Royal Oak most recently because it's abundant around here. BTW, if you're looking for information on lump charcoal, I just found this amazing site.

Certainly true. I paid more than $150 to have it shipped from North Carolina to NYC, more than the item itself cost me on eBay.

Do none of you use actual wood to make your fires? Over here it's more common to use a hardwood to build the fire and the braai once it's been reduced to coals.
Except when we do potjie, then it's coals all the way.

But you'll miss two very important things...heat and flavor. You can try as you like, but you'll never get a gas grill anywhere near the upper temps of a charcoal grill. You won't get that smokey flavor either...without resorting to "liquid smoke"
...My number one pet peeve, though, is this...If you don't have the time, WTF start a charcoal grill anyway?

chcr said:Interestingly, mine has a tray for wood chips (I like hickory, Dara likes mesquite). If you're creative enough, a gas grill is fine.
But that's the point, innit? That, and you can be much more creative with a good lump charcoal and some fruit, or nut wood than you ever can be with a gas grill. The only thing a gas grill has going for it is time.
