I was bored earlier this summer so I bought a Weber kettle. I really only bought it to make Tri-tip. As many of you know, keeping it low and slow is a PITA. She was skeptical when I bought it. "Why do you need 4 grills?"

However, she liked the results. I however, have gotten tired of playing with charcoal. My fancy gas grill does a great job of high heat, and we all know how good a pellet grill is. So I was thinking of selling my Weber.

The other night I made a Tri-tip using my pellet grill and my gasser. Smoked it to 120º and then used the infrared burner on my gas grill to give it a nice outside crust.

Wife: "It's pretty good, but I like it better on the other grill".

Looks like I'm keeping the Weber.

Don't even try figure her out. Just as soon as you thought you did, she'll change on ya.

Lumberjack makes a charcoal / hickory blend pellet. ~Problem solved.

I think I'm in the minority, but I don't like stocking multiple pellets. I find it to be more of a hassle than its worth.

Try cooking on the pellet and just sear on the charcoal and see how she likes it.  May add enough charcoal flavor she won’t even notice.

That's a good idea.

I think that there is such a thing as the charcoal taste.  Wood coals may impart the same flavor.  I have a friend that cooks some great steaks over wood coals on a Santa Maria grill.

I also think that Tatonka Dust seasoning has charcoal flavoring mixed in.

Go with the pellet grill (to 110 degrees) and gasser (reverse sear) but tell her you used the weber like she asked.  She'll love it.

No way, even if I could get away with it, I wouldn't want to.
