Hi Everyone!
Super duper excited to be in this community! I have been reading the free version of the website for the last two weeks and feel I have a decent grasp of the very basics. Just joined today as I am ready to move on and up.
Here is my situation.
I want to be able to present smoked ribs, 4 racks, for the annual family dinner on the 4th. I also want to be able to grill steaks burgers and bird for daily consumption and grow to become an accomplished backyard charcoal chef.
I have just purchased on the Memorial Day sale a Weber kettle 22" and 100 pounds of blue bag charcoal. I already have a set of grill tongs and flipper that will work for now.
I need help to decide what I need to purchase next in order to meet all of my goals.
I think it is important to say up front, I don't think I will enjoy being tied to a grill that I have to constantly monitor and adjust airflow. So at this point in addition the accessories I need to purchase I also need to decide how to control the temp.
I don't want to start small find out that I am spending too much time monitoring the grill then upgrade later on. I prefer to just get what I need for the long haul now.
I am not clear, Will the SNS give me the temp control I need or will I need to get a fan unit with thermostat?
My purchase list possibilities look like this now:
ThermoPOP meat thermometer
Smoke or Dot Grill/Meat thermomoter
SNS
Rib Racks
OR should I buy the fan/controller unit and a ThermoPop and a SNS and Rib Racks.
So confusing (bang head)
If there are essentials I missed, or if I am way off base please add them or let me know.
Your help and input is greatly appreciated. I would like to order the rest of the stuff this weekend and give a meatless trial run by next weekend then follow up with an actual cook with meat.
Thanks in advance
Brian
