Captain of the Tailgate: Equipment

PrintSo we talked about the food and the drink, the two obvious necessities to any tailgate, but let's not forget the tool of the trade: the grill.
Grills are one of the last honest vestiges of manhood (not these though). The blatant symbol of fire, a Promethean ode to man's dominance over the elements (although I'm sure some Green Bay fans would admit the elements win most of the time), grills are the landscape on which we craft a meaty opus to hand out to friends and family and tell them, "Eat this animal flesh, and pay homage to my power." Too much? Maybe. But grills are good.
To me, the top tier of 2011 NFL Grill Draft prospects include three competitors: Weber, Char-Broil and the Big Green Egg. What's your grill of choice? Sure, I'm still cranking out brats on the $25 grill I got at Lowe's, but for the professional tailgater, that just won't do. You've got to have a grill if you're going to get at your arteries:
and that's the whole point. So what do you grill on? Any tips or tricks? Any other necessary equipment I failed to include? Are you a charcoal, gas or wood guy? And now for Marisa Miller's expert swordsmanship:

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

Nothing wrong with that
Been there done that (PBR and Miller High Life).
At home
Have a gas Char-broil, which does the trick. But I prefer cooking with charcoal whether its camping or at friends’ that have the egg.
Seasoning, really been digging lately on the Weber burger seasoning that is available at Costco/Sam’s. Great product and can be used on beef or pork.
if i were in a sword fight with Melissa Miller
well, it wouldn’t be much of a fight. Mostly, I’d be busy staring uncomfortably and would be immediately stabbed.

Question & an Answer...
Sandwich Question: Where do you come by a great looking brat like that and what in the world is that white stuff with the green stuff in it that’s just below the bacon?
Grill Answer: I have a 22.5" Weber charcoal grill on my patio, a Char-Broil gas grill on my deck and I bring a little 14.5" Weber “Smokey Joe” on tailgait parties. Needless to say I love grilled fish, meat and vegies!
Go Rams!

I don't know what brat you're talking about
and I think that stuff below the bacon is a stuffed chicken breast

Can't go wrong w/ the Weber and a well seasoned dry rub.
I also own a Char-Broil propane grill that works just great.
@Nbr1RamFan – It looks like that white and green stuff below the beacon is an omlet w/ green peppers. And is that all on a biscuit or some cornbread?

So 3k did you cook up that sandwich
that you pictured in your article or can I buy it somewhere (dang, I can’t stop my mouth from watering)?

no I didn’t cook that. I’d like to see my 50th birthday. I’ve got about 20 photos of random fatty sandwiches that make my heart scream in fear. Like donut burgers:
