I have spent the majority of the past weekend grilling and smoking lots of different types of meat. Saturday I had 20 people come over to the house and we grilled out and smoked enough meat for an army. Monday I spent the day with John Lancaster. We again smoked all types of meat for around 8 hours. I say all this because the smoker that we have at our house was at best subpar.
The new grill that I bought back on the forth of July came with an option to add a smoker box on the side of it. I was reluctant to do this because it required that I knock a hole into the side of my gas grill. While I was smoking all the meat at Johns this Monday he has a smoker that is the same kind as my grill. It worked so well I had to pull the trigger today and buy the smoker box and attach it to the side of my grill.
My grill now looks so good. I think it is a guy thing because Moon was here helping me add the box to the side. When we finished he said “Now that is a Grill”. I must say I was proud of my grill. I am hoping that it will work as good as it looks. I am so excited I am ready for the weekend to hurry and get here so I will have the time to try it out. I will include a picture soon probably this weekend as I plan to put it to some good use. If anyone has a good recipe for smoking different types of meat let me know I would love to try some of them out.
If you are in the neighbor hood come Saturday stop by there should be plenty of food to go around. There usually is. I hope everyone had a great holiday.

Some great info here! My family and I have really gotten into grilling veggies this summer. Our favorite is corn on the cob. Took me a while to get it right, but found some good tips in The Backyard community: https://backyard.netshops.com/#l=topic&i=495
Even though summer is unofficially over, we plan on keeping grilled veggies part of our diet year-round!
