I'm with CBandB on the Pork Steaks. I'm with Bob on the ribeyes and the chicken breasts. Took me forever to figure out chicken breasts but now I can get them near perfect every time.
Someday I'm going to get a smoker. Then I'm going to need someone to teach me.
Dinner plans changed this evening. I had too much to do today and didn't feel like cooking so we walked up to the neighborhood deli.
I feel like the hardest part about grilling chicken breasts will be the shape of the meat. Thicker on one side means the other side may cook too quickly.
RE - Chicken breasts - that was my problem for a long time. The thin parts got overdone while you try to get the thick parts cooked. then someone taught me to beat the hell out of the thick parts with a meat mallet until the entire breast is about a 1/2 in thick. Now they cook perfectly...
"How can you have any pudding if you don't beat your meat?" (Whaddaya mean that's not how the song goes?)

You can make the whole uncut chicken breasts the juiciest piece of meat you've ever eaten if you keep a constant eye on them and rotate them often, like every couple of minutes. Keep them well basted, too. (I actually will often use spray oil on mine.) No need to cut, no need to pulverize them.
I cooked chicken breasts on the grill at my parents once, and my mom still to this day asks how I served them up so moist.

You're a better man than I.

All of our tailgate members and guests will attest to the fact if you want to make dinner night on the grill kid friendly, Costco's foot long hot dogs can't be beat.
The problem is finding foot long buns to go with!
(I brought this up because I'm thinking about grilling brats for dinner tonight. The sausage looking ones, not the kids across the street.)

Yep. They are really good.
Costco dogs, not the neighbor kids. (My neighbor kids look sort of gristly.)

You can always cut the Costco dog in half and put it on two standard buns. Most people only eat half of it anyway. I use a regular sized bun, centered on the Costco, and then eat the overhang from both ends! As you know, we like them grilled "crispy", nice and charred!.
So glad I introduced Costco's to the group all those many years ago!

Made grilled chicken sandwiches tonight.
Found some nice thin sliced breasts at Lowes Foods, so I didn't have to "beat my meat".
Seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, paprika and basil. Used hickory wood chips for some smokiness - it worked!
Brioche buns, havarti cheese, spicy mustard and grilled mushrooms as a topper. Could have used lettuce and a mater slice but I did not have any
Grilling is fun, and even more fun whilst sipping good beer. Cheers!

That sounds tasty. I need to try to make homemade pizza one day.
Foothills Festival Express hit the spot while I was grilling. At Wise Man now...
I'm saving my Chimay for tomorrow

Delicious! Cooked them to 135 degrees and let them rest about 10 minutes. Internal temp rose to 140. Nice medium steaks.
