Breakfast didn't make for a nice picture. Yogurt w/ fruit & nuts. Saturday also = Cheat Meal Day which will be a big ole plate of pasta while watching the UFC and Yankees game.

I mostly didn't like the lighting in your pics. Please pay more attention to that. Thanks!
Breakfast: French omelette w/ bacon & spinach.
Lunch: Pork loin w/ cauliflower mash & asparagus.
Prepped for lunch for the week.
Dinner was a salmon salad. I also prepped oatmeal for the morning, and veggies for salads for dinner this week. I decided to take an afternoon trip to the grocery store that is running a pretty good sale on American Wagyu beef. I picked up a NY strip for lunch on Tuesday, a top round, and a chuck roast I plan to use next week.

You're getting there. Somewhere that is.
That looks way gud
I dry brined a tritip overnight in holy cow, then pulled it out of the refrigerator for about 3.5 hours to come closer to temp.
I cooked indirect until it hit 110, then agitated the coals and seared it off a few minutes per side.
After a 20 minute rest this is what I get consistently. Really easy way to grill tritip when you get a decent size cut (this was 4ish lbs prior to trimming the fat cap.
I wish I had a charcoal grill.
Do you live in an apartment or condo building where they aren't allowed? The are relatively inexpensive for a good one and they last generations.
(mine was black so it was $220, but I'm not seeing that on the site right now. At the time I purchased Lowes was $20 cheaper than Home Depot, plus they aren't woke.)
You can get a bare bones kettle for $140.
I do. There are propane grills, and I have cast iron pans and a broiler. I know they aren't expensive.
Bummer. There are charcoal inserts you can get for some propane grills, but that's likely against your HOA CC&R's.
No deck or no grills there?
I'm in the market for a new one right now
Will end up with Big Green Egg or standard Weber, I was gonna step up from standard webber but fuck it, that might just be what I need.
There is a rooftop deck which is where the propane grills are. Otherwise, no deck.
Right on
I do love the flavor of charcoal grilling, lamb is insane with a little mesquite smoke to it
My kettle is hands down better flavor than my pellet grill/smoker and new propane grill (obviously on propane). My issue with it is limitations on size and how much food I can cook at once. When cooking indirectly it really limits your space. At some point I'll be doing a battling banjos with all 3 going for different reasons. That should be some shit.
Yep
I'm pretty good with the kettle, even without a lid if needed...very solid platform
I feel like if I try an egg or Komodo Joe I might miss the simplicity of basic kettle
I couldn't tell you, but with experience anyone can excel on any given platform. It just boils down to what are you gaining by moving into any given platform. Everything has its pros and cons. I didn't fuck around with my new propane grill tonight with the tritip because I just know what works and tastes great. If you keep the kettle and move to the komodo or green egg, at least you still have the kettle in a pinch.
