Professor:
I use my "Weber Wok" for a few reasons...
My dream kitchen is about five months away from start, yet my Weber can give me the BTU's I can't get on my stove just yet.
My patio faces into a courtyard; I therefore get lots of foot traffic. Basically, you can't get into your unit, without passing by me.
I was a bartender for 20 plus years. Thanks to the brilliant tutalage of Waderoberts, I have an art degree in my forties...I view my outdoor cooking as performance art/being social. After living here for four years, my rep is that freaky guy who likes to grill. (and, I answer questions to the best of my ability, always make extra for the door people and give out samples) I still am amazed that my neighbor has only used her grill to make frozen hamburgers....
Most of you folks here, are way more knowledgeable about food then I ever will be, yet I have fun doing my thing. If I appear grating, at least I'm thinking about food and not parrotting...You can never just hit grand slams, but a single at the very minimun keeps the ball in play!
Anyhow, the biggest reason is my partner is a big guy/fat bastard...between school starting back up again and my hospital jaunts, the Weber thing is kind of idiot proof for him. I can chop up a slew of veggies, which he really does enjoy, and weigh out the three ounces of meat and he can get his grill on.
I've had luck using the wok on the grill and on the flavorizer bars...my condo development only allows propane. Mostly it's used for quick fajita/stir fry things. One day, I hope to not only smoke but get feedback from you on this stiil elusive (to me) art.
Sadly, my camera needed to be recharged so my tamale pics did not happen. I did try duck for the first time and sadly failed....oh well. lesson learned and I believe a dryer masa will cure my mistakes...
So, instead I offer another wacky Weber experiment....
Corn beef hash or scary 1970's macreme owl planter?
