@WeberGrills Wooden Handle Treatment
So I had been debating whether to use Spar Varnish or Tung Oil on the untreated wood handles for one of my lucky Weber Kettles. After long deliberation and consulting a couple of my trusted lobstermen Captains Mark Ring and Pete Mondello I decided to go with the Tung oil.
The main reasoning for going with the Tung oil being that the spar varnish in the sun outdoors over time will likely crack and need to be sanded to reapply whereas the Tung oil just need a rag to wipe them down with more Tung oil when they lose a little luster.
Here are some photos before and after with a couple of coats over the course of two days. It couldn’t be easier to apply. Just dribble a little on and spread it evenly with a clean piece of cloth.

First Cook On The DT Code @WeberGrills Smokey Joe Gold -#ChickenWings and #AtomicBuffaloTurds
So when I picked up the Green DT Code OTP a couple of weeks ago the seller had a SJG that was dusty and sitting off in the corner of his garage. I made an offer and picked that up too. Finally got around to cleaning it up and decided to try a cook I’d normally do on a 22. Wanted to see how many chicken wings and ABTs I could get on a 13 inch SJ Grate. As it turns out, using a brick to separate the coals from the cooking area I got 5 wings and 4 ABTs.
Chicken wings throw a lot of fat which can make a mess of your kettle bowl. I’ve started to line the bowl with aluminum foil, being sure not to cover the vents to make for an easy clean up. I also wanted to get as many lit coals as I could into the Smokey Joe but wanted them banked to one side because we want a lot of high indirect heat. If we place the chicken wings over the coals we’ll end up with burn skin (not good).
In this picture you can see how the brick keeps the coals on the left side of the kettle. we will be placing the ABTs and Wings on the opposite side of the coals.
The wings were done internally but I put them directly over the coals for a couple minutes to crisp up the skin.
Done. Plated on my finest china.
The Smokey Joe Gold is for sale for $20 if anyone wants it. I already have a Smokey Joe. They sell for $40 and this one is in great shape as you can see.
I quick clean up on a @webergrills DE Code Smokey Joe Gold
The Smokey Joe Gold’s are nice because the bar you see clipped on the handle serves dual purpose. One to keep the whole unit together when transporting which makes it the ultimate small beach grill. Secondly when folded down it acts as a lid holder so you simply slide the lid down in between the rod and it holds the hot lid in place when you want to access the grill grates.
I used extra fine steel wool which can be purchased at the dollar store, a dish rag and some dishwashing soap. Just like new.

Live Smoke- Flank Steak Stuffed With Feta, Roasted Red Peppers, Pepperoncini and Prosciutto di Parma On The @WeberGrills One Touch Premium
First To Butterfly The Flank Steak with the grain.
Try to get it squared off when split open and laid out.
Season with whatever you’d like, I used Montreal Steak seasoning.
Next add Feta (you can use other cheeses like goat cheese if you prefer). leave a little margin around the edges without stuffing ingredients.
Add sliced roasted red peppers and pepperoncini.
Next Prosciutto di Parma
Roll tightly and secure with butchers string.
Season the outside. here I used Italian herb seasoning.
Check back for more updates.
Once grill was 350 degrees at grate temp I seared the stuffed flank steak, rolling every couple of minutes until each side had color.
Next place foil down on the charcoal grate under where we will place the stuffed flank steak, moving the roll offset the coals. We will close the lid, place a couple of chunks of apple wood over the coals for smoke and wait til she hits 130 internal to pull it off.
The Money Shot-

Zero chance that a little snowstorm is gonna keep us from hitting the Weber Performer with some Atomic Buffalo Turds.
