[Music]
so what we have here we'll start with
some steaks
they've already been seasoned
good take this take it lay it down there
we've got a couple
[Music]
right there
they just some rabbis pretty big river
[Music]
once we get these on show you
[Music]
especially tonight
for here
someone doesn't want to deal with all
the charcoal close that down for right
now
we can get a good look at those steaks
right there the place may wander back
when out front here and one over here to
the left we're gonna go ahead close us
down what we're using here is this is
the camp shelf pellet grill and the
wonderful thing about it is it has a
temperature gauge over here to the left
you got this temperature temperature
gage you can use it we have a low smoke
if you want to smoke something all day
you can do that high smoke same thing
just spend a little bit of a higher
temperature today we're using since
we're doing these steaks and we don't
want to be out here all day I've got a
set on matter of fact we're gonna do
when resented
[Music]
we're gonna know in 325 right now keep
it on 325 and what we want to do is cook
those steaks and we want to get them at
a temperature of a hundred and
thirty-two right about there and once
they get the 132 we're going to move
them over to the sear which is under
this little contraption here we have
this top over right now so we're going
to move those over to the sear one at a
time and get that sucker seared up and
get all those justice locked in
tasting good and soda we're gonna have
this east base perfect and then we're
also going to add some vests with a
little bit later now while we're doing
that and I talked about one other things
grilling one of the things that I get
asked all the time is are you thrilled
if you can't see if you don't have the
eye to see what you're doing and I
actually love the question because what
happens is really without being able to
see it's just like anything else if we
don't have one tool that you can use one
resource that you can use what you do is
you go to the next one the next best
resource so what you focus on is what
you do have rather than what you don't
have you don't have two hands so you use
the one that you have if you don't have
any hands then you use your feet and I
honestly have there's a video out there
a wonderful video actually I had the
honor and opportunities to work with
someone on a video and they were also
featuring someone who trolled with their
feet which is truly incredible to me but
we'd already get sidetracked from this
grilling the thing is is whatever you
don't have you find other ways to make
it happen and this grill makes it very
easy to gauge you don't have to really
worry about charcoal or making sure
you're getting at the right temperature
they're staying lit this is the pellet
grill I'm gonna move over just a little
bit and show you just
working while we're talking so I'm going
to pull this up decision to stop being
her TV or we have in here some pellets
in those pellets what we have now
they're cooking they're really what
makes this group
go and keep it hot
right
I already showed you down here is also a
temperature gauge we can tell what your
temperature is of your grill at the
moment now of course I can't see that
takes anyone else is watching this you
do not know I cannot see it all at least
not and so that I can read the screen so
I can see that but I have a wonderful
little gadget that I'll be showing a
little bit later that will actually read
the temperature for me I'll have these
probes up here they're sticking to the
beat we'd be able to determine exactly
how hot is it ready for me to check it
off and put it on to the series so we'll
be doing that a little bit later and I
need some things have been on in 5
minutes now we'll give them another five
minutes and then we'll check them and
see where they are
okay so I'm going here and I've gotten
my probe out on my iPad and so here's
the probe right here and get a shot of
that and I haven't all right that's two
probes we're gonna open it so but we're
gonna see exactly what temperature we're
at right now so these little probes you
just you take the little tab and you
pull it off
and what I always do is make sure I
clean them at after each use and clean
the little test and so we're gonna take
this frog
to side
right here
we're gonna do this all work out front
so that's letting me know right there
Ready Set 132 and it's ready
[Music]
Jaso that one's ready
[Music]
all right so they're all three ready for
the doper so what we're gonna do is over
here to this side
[Music]
so basically what I did is I had mine I
had the probe set at 132 degrees so
we're gonna flip these what I feel
everybody has a different little method
I just go to the edge or the floor
easiest pie
lift it over done go to this one go to
the edge flip it over
it's done ok and then this last one
sometimes you might you have this little
grill in the back you have to be careful
again like I said it's not about you
know whether you can stick your fingers
just to run out what you know what
knowing where everything is in relation
to what you're doing
the same way get it flipped over and
we're gonna let that go for about five
minutes and then we're gonna take that
it was up move it over here to the sear
you already have the steerer going
wonderful thing about this grill it's an
electric it has those pellets over on
the other side it makes it it gets it
hot but then it has a cord plugs in it
actually does all electronic stuff and
what happened I can't explain that
because I don't know how to either made
I just know they work well but this side
of things is there sealer box it has a
tank on the back of it and that's a guys
take propane tank and that's where it
runs off oh so you're able to run both
of these at the same time and you had
that city right now you can see I
already have this all and I've got to
turn down on low now this sucker here it
gets up to 900 degrees so either you
have to definitely be careful with it
but what we're going to do like I said
after another two minutes we're gonna
bring those steaks over here one
time and we're going to put
turn it up to about five 600 degrees I'm
gonna turn it up to that to that
temperature and then we're going to
quarter turn it and we're gonna like I
said lock those new Suzanne on both
sides it's gonna be beautiful it be
great looking forward to mmm chomping
down on those steaks afterwards and then
we're gonna bring out some vegetables
law while the steaks are simmering in a
plate we're going to get the vegetables
going because they only take about seven
minutes to get them done
zucchini and squash okay stuff
again we want to just hone in on the
idea on the fact that a lot of times
what we do talking about pursuing our
dreams and our passions what sometimes
we have a tendency to do to think well
I'm not ready because I don't have a
certain thing but the truth is most of
the times were never ready for what
we're about to do but in doing it in
making that decision they're taking that
step forward to make it happen we get
ourselves ready
and that's when we become and I was
saying that as a noun and a verb that's
when we become it's a wonderful thing so
just having the courage to do whatever
it is that you want to
one of the things that I love to do is
grill now I don't always want to you
know get in the car and go get me some
barbecue or some grill steak or go to a
my favorite restaurant and have a grill
steak I want to come outside and be able
to grill that steak and it tastes just
as good as the restaurant so that's what
we're doing here and I think all of you
for being a part of it and we're gonna
check these your steak
[Music]
I move over here on the backs of cameras
take the iPad
what I have is my speech speech on my
iPad voiceover back trying to avoid open
so
[Music]
situated
[Music]
[Music]
- there
[Music]
I don't know if you can hear that
beeping that beeping lets me know that
it's definitely at 1:32 we're good on
both sides
[Music]
[Music]
I get my hands on and all my hands on a
small block in the camera there so we're
good there as well
I'm gonna move to this
to do this first board you turn my
thrills down okay miss
I'm gonna
turning now
and what I basically just put it down on
low smoke to it like one set of five at
that point what we're gonna do is take
it and we're gonna turn that one down
and we're gonna turn this one off the
sphere huh so the reason why we're
turning that down it's a good
we don't want to happen maybe get you
so we've got this going
[Music]
we brought the temperature
and you can see it's right there and we
have home for to go ahead and put you on
there
be a little tight to these four big
states so
do one at a time that's why I'm trying
to drill down over here and you're
trying to stuff to get it ready so
basically what I want to do here is let
it go for about 45 50 seconds and then
we'll do a quarter turn on it and so an
importer current is 4 he wonders isn't a
thriller out there you're just gonna
quarter turn it back in here so we'll
just turn it that way or it doesn't
matter counterclockwise clockwise
whatever we can fix your fancy so we're
gonna go ahead turn it away touch the
Tommy
on it just like that
so we've got our quarter-turn looking to
add a couple more times
and data once we do that we'll flip it
over so while we're waiting that point
for five seconds I just want to say
again this is what it means to be able
to live your dreams if you live in your
dreams you're going to tell that you
would like to do it
it fits the desires of your heart one of
my desires of my heart audience coming
out and really that's what I have
don't have the grill for someone else to
cover you before but a habit so that I
can come out here and enjoy myself and
have a great steak or whatever it isn't
cooking steaks ribs or brisket
what-have-you enough so we're gonna go
ahead for time again
and again like I said you really have to
be careful with what you're doing
because it is hot I mean if you can hold
in on that temperature gauge down here
[Music]
so we just fold this and off we've got
to have the second went on and I bet
that looks good yeah I can't see it but
I know it as good doesn't it huh alright
so we're going to go ahead and take this
one on the inside while we finish
picking up this second one and we're
going to throw on some hot dogs do that
in last minute show you guys how we how
I do that
yeah like I said just take the fork and
lift it up and then take this with a
potholder
and go ahead and clean it because
sometimes individuals don't want their
meat to touch their vessels or they
don't eat meat at all and they
definitely don't want the vegetables
mixing in with any juices or anything
from the meat and so I particularly
personally don't mind because I a
meat-eater or vegetable eater of yeah
you guys have seen me so I don't why but
we're going to make sure we go ahead and
do that for this video and so we're
gonna go ahead take this in and clean it
then we're gonna bring it back out here
get it all down real good we're going to
do the vegetables
all right so I hear we got it never said
this over here all right so we have
skewers be ready grill ready ladies
[Music]
ladies down
I'm gonna put grilled down
here I'm gonna sit this down over here
my way
sent this down
[Music]
cooking
it's my first time trying with these
actual skewers so with those hell is
sticking out and the grill kind of
overlaps what I'm going to have to do is
hold this up just for the time being
because I didn't make a preparation for
this the next time I'll know that what I
need to do is get the other two skewers
it I can stick the whole thing in there
and just let it sit and then I can put
the grill down and the reason why I'm
not gonna hold it up let it just stay up
is because I do want that smoke flavor
in there you want that smoke flavor in
there but what it bends down like this
some of the smoke will get in there and
also we just wanted for about three
minutes to go on either side
let it be doing under three minutes and
they should be ready now what I'm going
to do is they've been in there for a
little over a minute now won't you say
so what I will do is pull it up here in
just a second and I'm going to brush so
much savory sauce
this up here
[Music]
rush
to this
seriously think about the best in you
extra table because right now I'm
basically have to work from the left
side if I have anything you know what I
do is this again going back to there's
not many ever seen so I start I know
where this starts don't want to burn
myself of course
so what I do is just take this heat it
down
Oh
but time I get to question either the
Ratana flip them over
[Music]
it doesn't take a whole lot of sauce
whatever you do to some people do like
balsamic vinegar and oil of olive oil
mix
along with the little season or whatever
seasons they like for the sauce some
people do nothing at all
everyone has their own little thing they
like to do
the fourth one we're just brushing it on
we're gonna turn it over
alright go to the last one we got five
skewers here know if you can actually
see that or if you can't see watching
this you're observing this like I would
be doing yeah we have five skewers and
what we have on here I didn't apologize
for not I should talk about that further
what we have is squash zucchini and so
bell pepper mixture of the three
it sounds a little tricky
because they want to roll on you
all right
bring it on back down
[Music]
and again like you said I'm gonna hold
it
because I want to make sure that we get
that little smoke in there but and also
they're cooked evenly so that this
doesn't push down
in the stepped-up those vegetables that
are earned it back towards the end of
they don't cook his either all right so
I'm thinking it should be about ready to
have my pea ready and now with the
ventures are pretty much long time and
I'm gonna take them up and get water
I've put them down so we're going this
one first
[Music]
three
[Music]
that
[Music]
five
so
go
got our passion you know thought those
in his shows
so they're still glowing they're not
quite ready yet but now what I had to do
is like I set out and go on their
vegetables and to make sure I keep it
the temperature not let it go up to us
points to a slide over here before I
check my fashion
4:25 and then we're going to do it
oh man OC vegetables I wish you can wear
you guys in ceilings yeah I wish you can
smell they smell awesome
mm-hm yeah ready for y'all want to come
to dinner here's the result
one of our steaks from our skewers and I
don't know what do y'all think is that
look good
are you meat eaters that steak one that
you want to eat you're interested in
what you vegetables eaters massage them
have been staying laying a long side
that's taking something you want to eat
I think I'm ready for it so we have the
steak you could look at that and the
scores and that's a Cheney and squash
bell pepper
and got the hot dog just about ready
those
[Music]
the paint yes
[Music]
we all have
[Music]
some of us are as tall as other than and
while we're in the grocery store we have
to do we have to ask someone to reach up
there and grab that off that top shelf
whatever it is we have to find our
resources we have to find our tools we
have to figure out some way to make it
happen
and that's what we do rather we have the
lives no hands no arms not as smart as
the guy or the lady next to us not as
strong it's a guy lady next to us
whatever it is
a way to Lake Wylie
find a way to accomplish your dream
[Music]

the backyard some good steak and some
good vegetables hey I'll see you guys
