I'm riding out the pandemic on Long Island, in the beautiful coastal village of Sagaponack, newly married, with my wife Katie, and our dog Grace. We live in a cozy (i.e. TINY) cottage with a delightful back patio and a huge lawn. So I've been taking advantage of the outdoor space and warm weather by cooking as often as possible on my 22" Weber kettle, and that has made painfully clear the inadequacy of my grilling skills--steaks coming out over- or undercooked, burgers charred to within an inch of their lives, etc. A few weeks ago, I started out smoking a brisket, but after a couple of hours, I chickened out, took it out of the Weber, and finished it, wrapped, in the oven (it was delicious, but still...)

So I ordered a Slow n Sear, a Thermapen, and a Smoke, and I'm ready to learn the basics and up my grilling game. I'm obviously not going to be dropping pearls of barbecuing wisdom anytime soon, though I have a few non-grill summer recipes that I will share if there's an appropriate board. Otherwise, I'm here to learn from those with more knowledge and experience than I and--hopefully--to share some of my first successes.
