My dad made a thing like you're building, but for making maple syrup. He has two half drums welded together length-wise on legs. It has a grill for the wood in the bottom and a big evaporator pan that fits over the whole top. A stovepipe comes out of the back.

pinkandblack8's Question:
will it taste the same? be as good as the outdoor bbq charchaol one? should i use the skillet with stripes or the indoor electric grill? does the electric grill work?


Cookie's Answer

Nothing compares to outdoor grilling flavor. You can come close. Put a little charcoal flavor(look in the spice section of your store) on the meat and cook in oven or indoor grill.

Doc's Question:
I will be cooking for about 30 people at a BBQ in early May. I was told that I should Boil the chicken before BBQ'ing it to take off time that it would need to be on the grill for concern of lack of time. Of course I will boil it in seasoned water to add to the flavor, but I have questions about proceedure. Do I boil it until it is cooked? Should I marinate it before or after it is boiled? WIll the boiling take away from the "grilled chicken" flavoring if I still baste it on the grill? Anyone have any suggestions about this? Thanks a ton!

Luke Donovan's Answer

Boil it until it is done. Else everyone who eats it will have food poisoning. I marinate mine the day before it is boiled. Boiling does not take away the grilled flavor of my mine.

Ogrim Doomhammer's Question:
We have a standard barbeque and cover it when we're not using it. But now whenever I uncover it to use it, I see squirrel droppings and chewed tree keys on all the BBQ surfaces, as if squirrels climbed up into it and use it as a warm little hideout. I can't seal off the area and it is outside, so what else can I do to make the area less desirable for little critters?

punchy333's Question:
I'm planning on making a big batch for my daughter's birthday. We need to feed about 12 adults and 4 children, although we will also be serving brats. -What kind of meat should I buy and how much? Leg and thighs, chicken breasts only, whole chicken?? -How long should I cook it for? Low or High? -Should I used water, chicken broth, or the BBQ sauce? -Should I wait to put in the BBQ sauce?


Live and Learn's Answer

I would buy a 10 lb. bag of leg quarters. Boil them in a pot until done. Take chicken off bone and put in crock pot with your bbq sauce and just a little chicken broth. You could use the rest of the chicken broth to make rice or pasta.

justlise's Question:
Can any of you bbq experts help me out? I couldn't find corn in the husk so I don't know if I put them directly on the grill or wrap them in foil first?


Jess's Answer

White corn is my favorite to use, but I husk the corn really good getting the annoying stringy stuff off, wash it well place onto a nice piece of tin foil, add butter, salt and pepper (thats all it really needs) close up the tin foil and I rotate it around the grill for about 10 minutes sometimes 15( I like mine with some burnt pieces). Then place on the plate for everyone to grab!
