Using pellets on a charcoal grill?
Been wondering about throwing some traeger pellets onmy charcoal grill. At my farm I have about all the cooking Woods I can cut. Cherry, wild plumb, Apple, persimmon, pecan, walnut, etc. one thing I don’t have is mesquite. So I thought after I got the charcoal and royal oak going I’d throw on some mesquite pellets. Then I hear that you need to soak them in water and wrap them in punctured tin foil and let them smolder. Then I’m told not to do it at all.
As long as they make smoke who cares. Oh well. I guess I’ll try something to see what doesn’t work.. |

I guess I’ll try something to see what doesn’t work.. On charcoal, I would much prefer chunks or chips of pure cherry, hickory, or whatever. Very few pellets are pure - usually a combination of hickory, or whatever, and a filler wood. Why pay the extra money for pellets when you've got the real thing right there? Whatever you use needs to smolder - not flame up. Then you burn 'em up fast and get no smoke. And, if you don't care about having any smoke flavor at all, just say 'no'! |

They'll become just like wet sawdust. |

Let me clarify, these were some kind of a processed hickory chip that reminds me of an oversized chicklet chewing gum. Total hardwood. Next time I go through the store I’ll find it and post about it. |

You should have hickory trees in the woods near you. I know at IBM school in Atlanta I gathered up some hickory sticks from the woods right behind the place where we were put up. It made grilling on those gas grills they had a lot better. |

He seems to not understand what a pellet grill does. You set it and forget it. Mow your lawn, wash the car, take a boat ride. Maybe check it a couple of times over 6-8 or more hours. When it's done, pull the meat and enjoy. harry probably thinks boiling meat is the best way to make it tender. |

The addition on the house has a load bearing beam that is far stronger than the basic bond beam. This is 2 #5s and 4 #7s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20steel.jpg Even the cap tie beam is more than what used to be called a bond beam. It is 16" of solid concrete with 4 #5s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20forms.jpg The Tiki Bars are post and beam construction with the posts notched and the beams bolted in with 1/2" galvanized hardware (4 per joint on the critical ones) The posts are 6"x16' salt treated pilings, 5 feet in the ground. A 40' mango tree landed on the old tiki bar during Charley and only dented the aluminum roof a little. The beam was unharmed. You also seem to miss a basic concept. A "Tiki bar" is supposed to emulate a 3d world island construction. It is not supposed to be fine cabinetry, hence the deck boards are different length etc. The newer one has Ipe decking, mahogany and Ipe trim and both have granite counter tops. I just built mine to the 150 MPH code. |

The IP can't be beat for certain types of meals. It's a pressure cooker. Went out in the 50's. I know my grandmother had one and she screwed up everything that went in there. I do understand why Harry doesn't like meat. He doesn't understand how to cook it. |

I grew up om green beans and new potatoes that were canned by my mom. Good stuff in January when you couldn't get fresh. Much better than canned from the grocery store. And the frozen peas from the deep freezer. Yum! |

I have one that I will steam green beans in but I only cook them about 30 seconds. They come out bright green and still firm without being crunchy. Get the water boiling and the top hot, Throw the beans in and close it up. As as soon as the pressure starts venting, take it off the heat and start slowly letting the pressure off. In about 30 seconds dump the steam and get them out. |

The IP can't be beat for certain types of meals. Been a couple houses that have been cooked by the IP this year in the Bay Area. Seems as if the IP becomes a flame source. |

Beats the drive through at the local Tastie-Shak... Those are your choices, eh? Maybe you should move to a place with more eating venues. Yeah, why learn to do anything if you can just pay someone? Sort of depends on the quality of outcome you want, eh? The only quality you can comprehend is the cosmetics on the outside. You mean the beauty of your tiki bar is hidden? The strength of the construction is there and not particularly well hidden. Several hurricanes later it is unharmed in any way. You Northern folks can't say that. Any little dust devil or summer squall devastates the place. It is like "not quite a storm Sandy" that trashed a couple of states. Ah, so you incorporated bond beams into your tiki bar and house, eh? The addition on the house has a load bearing beam that is far stronger than the basic bond beam. This is 2 #5s and 4 #7s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20steel.jpg Even the cap tie beam is more than what used to be called a bond beam. It is 16" of solid concrete with 4 #5s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20forms.jpg The Tiki Bars are post and beam construction with the posts notched and the beams bolted in with 1/2" galvanized hardware (4 per joint on the critical ones) The posts are 6"x16' salt treated pilings, 5 feet in the ground. A 40' mango tree landed on the old tiki bar during Charley and only dented the aluminum roof a little. The beam was unharmed. You also seem to miss a basic concept. A "Tiki bar" is supposed to emulate a 3d world island construction. It is not supposed to be fine cabinetry, hence the deck boards are different length etc. The newer one has Ipe decking, mahogany and Ipe trim and both have granite counter tops. I just built mine to the 150 MPH code. Greg, Greg, Greg...Harry is simply displaying his jealousy of your ingenuity and abilities. |

You damn yankees never learned the proper way to cook green beans. And scorched at least once. I liked can green beans as a kid, hated fresh green beans. Canned had some definition. Parents were from the Midwest. Mom loved fresh green beans, but cooked the green beans for 45 minutes, with a little bacon grease for flavor. The bacon grease was good, the 45 minutes cooking bad. |
