Owning a 32" I commonly use the basket splitter and divide my grill into indirect and direct cooking surfaces. It allows for superb cooking flexibility and plenty of real estate for grilling. Even though it is just my wife and I for everyday cooking, we can make our entire meal on this one cooking surface, and for those times we are feeding an army the 32 delivers.
Very nice, I love the pebble finish. As for size, you will not regret the larger grill for a moment. I have a 32" bronze it works great for just my wife and I, but is also wonderful when we have a large group around. It was the right choice for us.
Yes Memphis style ribs are excellent and not as messy. Talk about messy, I'll be cooking pork shoulder tomorrow for pulled pork sandwiches on Monday's Labor Day get together. I am anxious to try PBW, to clean my grates afterward.
Guinness...good stuff. I often cook with it, especially when making gumbo. It adds a mellow richness which complements the smokiness of a really good gumbo. Not to mention the gumbo must be served with a Guinness the temperature of spring water fresh out of a country spring (about 43-49°) no colder.
Made a simple dinner tonight, grilled (on my KK of course) corn, pineapple slices and salmon. MacKenzie's post yesterday made me hungry for sweet corn.
