We moved into a house with a big propane island grille built in. KitchenAid. But burners were rusted and much else needed repair - yet couldn’t find parts or substitutes anywhere. So I bought a Napoleon because it was approx the same size to fit in the island, added a few bricks to trim it out and am grilling again. Love it.
My BBQ experience and training started at a young age - maybe 8? My parents house had a built in wood/charcoal grille - big brick rectangle with fire at the bottom, single large grille, some sort of cover and a bit of a chimney - something like a smoker. This in Dallas in the 1960s. Anyway they were hosting a bunch of my dad’s colleagues for a big party with ribs cooked on the grille. I took it upon myself to open the fire door and check - it was all red in there but there was no flame. So I gathered all the sticks I could find in the yard. Cremated those ribs; boy were my parents surprised!
Since then I’ve improved my techniques, somewhat.
