I bought one of these on a road trip through east TX:

The cool thing about it is you can put anything in the reservoir part of it...like Wild Turkey, for example..

and you end up with this: (done on the grill, of course)

They are a lot of fun, and easy to use!!

Then you just ain't never grilled!!

You menfolk tend to the meat and us smart ones can tend to the desserts.......

I've made apple pies on the grill in my Grandma's iron skillet, made some banana bread in same skillet earlier this week....
I have a gas grill that I love using as an oven: cornbread, biscuits, walnut torte, you name it.......
ahhhh, the apple pie.....soaked the apples in Hot D@mn Cinnamon Schnapps.....now that was an apple pie!!

Now this young lady sounds as though she may have some skills LOL, one of my favorites is chocolate cake in a dutch oven over an open fire I have done an apple pie also but yours sounds way better apples and schnapps yummo.

well I'm gonna try one of my locally famous rum cakes on the grill this week

been kinda nervous about it, but am finally gonna go for it!
Your chocolate has given me the courage!!

I put 90% of the heat on top in the form of coals on the lid, no sticking or burning on the bottom.

Here you go'


Grilled Cabbage

One good sized cabbage
2 sticks of real butter (I'm from WI)
1 lb of the smokiest Bacon you can find
A very lg sweet onion
Pepper
Seasoned Salt

Coarse chop the cabbage, I like about 1x1 in pieces do the same with the bacon and onions, the larger pieces do better on the grill. Use a lg metal bowl or steam table pan and layer cabbage, bacon,onion, butter salt and pepper, ending with butter on the top. Seal top of pan with tin foil, place on grill, cook for 1 hr, don't open the foil no matter what for that hr. after the hr open stir cabbage should be firm but tender, enjoy. plus butter is the only way to go. anything else just doesn't work. if you want to take this to a pot luck or family reunion cook for 45 min and place in crockpot an low.

This is kind of random, but related to the subject at hand.
We had the most fun recently at the Hico Texas Steak Cook-Off.
We saw a sign for it last year and decided to go kind of spur of the moment the following weekend.
When I got off work, we rode down on the bikes, got rained on, but oh boy, when we got close we just followed our noses, it smelled so good!!

We learned a hard lesson about planning ahead, we got there minutes after the last steak dinner ticket had been sold.

We rode for an hour and a half, the last 30 minutes in the rain, and couldn't get a danged steak!!

Had to eat in a restaurant.

This year I got online and bought tickets as soon as they came available, it rained again, but it started before we left so we drove and took umbrellas, and had the best time.
It was so cool to look at all the different custom/homemade grilling set-ups....and to get to walk around sampling all manner of good stuff.
The steak was huge, and delicious, and it was just a good day.
Only thing I'd do different is take along my little red picnic bag, and use my heavy plastic plates (steak on paper plates just ain't right) and take real steak knives and forks....these were wonderful rib eyes, but gristle was involved and my plastic knife snapped in two and cut me better than it cut my steak!!
But over all a really good time. Just thought I'd share

cool! thanks! never used the bacon before....and as far as I am concerned there is no alternative to butter!!!!
I like my cabbage fried/grilled up with taters and butter!! But will have to try that bacon!!
