Okie, thanks for posting that recipe because I was wondering as well. They look great.
Grilled my first pork loin on the new grill today.
Here's the ingredients list (other than pork):

Here's the final result. It only took about an hour with indirect heat on the top rack. Flavor from the spice and sauce was awesome. Darn thing was so juicy it reminded me of eating watermelon. LOL

A big thanks to Scott for the supplies. It's much appreciated.

Mani,
Glad to provide it.
Something you might try with the tenderloin that will mae it even more juicy is to brine it ahead of time. Since you are using a rub and sauce, you could limit the flavors in the brine. Maybe just do some salt, brown sugar and fruit or garlic.
I did a tenderloin not too long ago on the charcoal using the indirect method after brining it. Turned out awesome!

Glad to be of service Mani. That BBQ sauce is the best!! I think I've come up with a wing sauce concoction for you to try.
I grilled up some wings for the Falcons route of the Cardinals today. Wings turned out fantastic, and I think I'll document them for you guys next weekend. I didn't take any pics of them today, sorry.
For dinner, we did a little bit of everything. Steak and peppers/mushrooms in the wok pan, sliced potatoes in the tin pan, thin chicken tenders up top, and also a couple beef ribs up top. I use steak sliced for stir-fry in the pan with the veggies.

Here's a shot of the seasonings.
I put the Plowboys on the steak and veggies, the BBQ rub on the ribs, and the Pineapple Head on the chicken and potatoes. Anyone that can't get their hands on the Pineapple Head, shoot me a message, this stuff is just fantastic on chicken and pork

Beer (s) of the day were pretty simple..... Corona, Miller Lite, and Ultra. I need to get the keg lines cleaned out so I can start stocking a couple kegs again for the winter season. My high school daughter had a couple friends over on Friday night, and they hung out by the pool and outdoor kitchen. It was the first time it crossed my mind to add some tap-locks to the kegs. I'm not sure what to do, I trust my daughter very much, but I don't want to be the parent/house that some kid was drinking at, and I had no idea.... It's a fine line between parenting and trust of your kids.... Thoughts?

Scott, gonna ask my buddies in the beer ind. Some brew, some clean lines...Wondering if a discreet shut off might solve your potential troubles.....I would say it's def. not your daughter you need to worry about.......BTW nice repair on your surf board.......
-
I'm with Maple. I'd go for a discreet method that doesn't spell out "DON'T DRINK MY BEER". If I remember highschool correctly, my parents never worried about me. They worried about my idiot "friends".
How about a hidden shut off valve. Not like a valve in a locked compartment, just out of view where they'd really have to search to find it.
Okie, I'm going to take your word for it and try to brine next time.

Mani,
If you need any tips or have questions, let me know.
Scott,
I would suggest something discreet, as well. Just do some sort of basic shut off in a place where it would never be found.
I've been slacking on pictures, but here's some...
Last weekend we did a couple chickens on the charcoal, indirect and brined. As always, they turned out awesome. Tried a couple new beers some friends brought over, also. In-Heat and Battered Boar are the brands...both Hefeweizen.

This weekend, we did my family's famous teriyaki steak (You can see it marinating in the background). I forgot to take pictures while grilling, but we grilled it on the charcoal, direct. We also grilled veggies in the wok. Of course, I topped it all off with a couple Newcastles.

Best advice I could get today on the tap lock was exactly that, A lock that you install on the tap. Available through any online draft service company. Not sure it was what you were thinking about Scott. Def. not very discreet.......
-
Man Okie, those look like some beer slushies :) How'd those Hefe's taste? I'll have to keep an eye out for them
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm not sure there is much out there other than the tap locks that Maple suggested:

With a teenager in the house, I don't have much choice. Like you guys have said, it's not a matter of trusting my daughter, it's the other kids. Heck, when I was in high school, I would have full-blown kegger parties. When I knew my parents would be out of town for the weekend (which was every weekend during football season), my buddies and I would pass out flyers, find a way to buy a couple kegs and charge at the door/gate. I would stick my 9 and 11 year old brothers working the door collecting the cash, and my 13 year old sister walking around with a pitcher of beer to re-fill drinks. When the kegs went dry, I'd collect cash from everyone at the party to buy another keg, then kick them all out and drink the new keg with my buddies. It was totally wrong, I know. :)
Other times, we'd get some hard liquor to mix with our Dr. P's from friends houses' and refill the bottles with water before putting the bottle back in the liquor cabinet. Man, I was a hellian.....

ditto to that last paragraph......

Scott,
Yeah, the frosted mug and cold beer together slushed them up right after the pour...LOL! I had to let them sit for a couple minutes for the slush to disappear, but man they were nice and cold. The Hefe's were pretty good. I'm not a big fan of Hefe's normally. I've tried the Battered Boar Amber too and that one is rrrrreally good.
I was talkin to my wife last night about your dilemma. Our boys aren't super far behind and we may have to deal with something similar. She and I both agreed that maybe sitting down and talking to the kids about why we're locking up a beer tap or liquor cabinet would be a good approach. Maybe something to think about with your daughter. Help her understand that you don't want her to be faced with the decision of the peer pressure and having to tell her friends no when they want to imbibe around your house with stuff you have sitting around. Instead you're making it easier for her by bein the "bad guy" and just locking it up. You're also protecting her from being faced with the choice of being cool to her friends or obeying her parent's rules. Not trying to tell you what to do, but I thought it might be helpful to hear a perspective on it.
