Since my last posting on this (July), I retired my iPhone 5S, which did not have this feature :eek:. The new SE does.

I change the foil. To clean the grate I work it over with the CharGone after the cook, then burn any residue off in the Genesis with 3 burners on high for a few minutes.

I had an MHP grill with cast oval stainless steel burners. The had a lifetime warranty against everything except rust. They rusted out.

I have used only lump (Royal Oak). I use an ATC with a modified air entry and almost never have a problem with temps. Cooking at 225, I might add coal after 15 hrs or so. At 275, it's quite a bit sooner.
