Oh yeah, I've done that already. I never throw away the cactus unless it's completely charred. Although I usually eat it in slices with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of salt. Never tried with pineapple, though.Just noticing, the cactus is on bottom, be interesting to make a salsa out of it, or put some citrus, salsa like jalapeno pineapple atop individual pieces.
I’m definitely following this method.

Well practice makes prefect as the saying goes and you have been at this with the veggies for quite awhile.I don't mean to brag ... but I've become quite the expert at this veggie-covered ribs grilling technique ...

Yeah ... and now that you mention it, maybe it's time I move forward and look for something new to sacrifice atop the charcoal altar ...Well practice makes prefect as the saying goes and you have been at this with the veggies for quite awhile.

My son is a bar-b-que guru. I like to believe he gets it from me. Seriously he goes overboard. Saw the kids a week ago and will see them again this weekend. Two grandkids graduating this year. So Michael calls and says come over as he and the neighbors are cooking. OK, wife and I are down in Columbus from Cleveland, Ohio. We head over. My current grill is a Webber Kettle and when I wear one out I just get another. Not my son, the kid has two of those Trager grills one small and one large. His cell phone tells him everything going on inside. You need this why? They use an auger to move wood pellets. They send you a test if pellets are low. They send the temperatures then too for what they cost they should serve the food.Yeah ... and now that you mention it, maybe it's time I move forward and look for something new to sacrifice atop the charcoal altar ...
Maybe you could find them at a local mexican or ethnic food market? ...Bummer, no cactus leaves up my way.
Going to look into that. We have everything Asian do we must have a Mexican specialty supply around here.Maybe you could find them at a local mexican or ethnic food market? ...
Many thanks for that tip. When doing corn on the cob I use a garden hose to force water into my corn leaves, soak overnight and then grill them with husk on. Still plan to look for cactus just to try it and of course eat it.Word of advice.
Down here cactus leaves are extremely cheap, and that's because they're everywhere. Up where you are, not so much.
So if you ever find them, don't use them the way I did (as heat shields to protect the meat), but instead grill them to an almost crisp and then cut them into slices, seasoning with lime and salt to taste. I like them burnt dark-green on the outside, while still a little green on the inside.
To protect the meat at the base of the grill, use thick slices of large onions instead. I'm sure it'll be more affordable to you. And perhaps even tastier.
One last tip ... if the cactus has a rubbery texture to it, it means it's undercooked ... lots of people like it that way, though ... but not me.Still plan to look for cactus just to try it and of course eat it.
That means you've been eating the wrong kind of leaf. Down here we cut the leaves off before the thorns harden (they're small and soft). AAMOF we call them "baby leaves". In fact, the grown leaf is much tougher to eat than the baby one. Its proto-thorns are easily removed from the leaf using a knife.Roast it fast over a fire to burn the damn thorns off or use a propane torch.
Looking nothing but really nice. Enjoy!Starting the build of the outdoor kitchen with a stable structure to install a sink, water and drain with power once a solid deck is built.

Nice Gazebo but it's not a quick one-day build.
