[penguicon-general] Charcoal Grills

[chuck child]

It will be on Saturday, with 3:30, 4:30 and 5:30PM feeding times.

This is what I know about it so far:

>From Matt Arnold:
"Today at lunch Eduardo told me about how he cooks beef over charcoals for
the annual GLLUG meeting and it is difficult for the GLLUG guys to eat meat
in any other form ever again. My other co-workers are telling me they have
never tasted beef that good.

The Brazilian way is to cook beef on a skewer surrounded by rocks of pure
rock salt. The salt melts as a coating on the meat and seals in the flavor
of meat. But it does not overly salt the food"

And

"The signup sheet would allow selection of Saturday 3:30, 4:30 and 5:30 PM
serving times, and whether extra rare, rare medium rare, medium, or medium
well."


>From Eduardo (with some minor edits):
"I can get the top sirloin in 12 to 15 pound chunks, it seems to me that 1/2
pound per stake is quite acceptable at between $2.50 and $3,00, but we can
sell more then 1 ticket per person, and still cap the total sold to about
50-80 tickets.  I have no problem spending a few hours (3-5) cooking, but
 not much more then that. I do use natural charcoal, which is available at
GFS, and I get the meat from Sam's Club, other then that, the only things I
need are: a grill or two, cutting board,a good knife, Morton's Rock Salt
(available
at Meijer) or any Brazilian rock salt and old newspaper to start the fire."


Is that enough to get you going?
