Is buying steaks or even ground beef worth paying the extra cost from a butcher? Please be honest - does it really taste better?

Cook w/ the lid on too. This will help with even cooking in the center of the meat as well as flare ups.

For bacon burgers: Do you guys do anything special with the bacon? Or just fry it and put on top at the end?

ooooooo....George, I like the Lodge CI Hibatchi. Looked at those for a long time and havent pulled the trigger yet. Any trouble with flame-ups on that bad boy?

I love the SJ for that reason!! If I'm only doing 1 or 2 steaks I'll use the SJ instead of my Performer. I'm curious on this debate too. I've got my traditional sear first, cook indirect (if needed) to doneness process down very well. I'm wondering if reverse sear would offer me any benefit...

Its for 22.5 kettles (fits great on my Performer), and the center section is supposed to fit 18.5"kettles (too small for SJ, but fine if you cut the handles off the grate).

Anyone have any good tri tip marinades? I usually use a rub, but would like something new.

Good job!

I think this is your best bet too. I would put 1 layer of coals over entire grate and cook medium heat direct. This will give you good throughput and not overcook. You just dont want them charred and split open. Mass hot dogs are barely worth the charcoal and effort IMHO. For that many...

Cutting off the handles of the grate in the SJP is not a big deal. I think its worthwhile in this case.

Finally got the Charbroil grates. Posted a review here: http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums?a=...061069516#3061069516 http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums?a=...061069516#3061069516

I sprayed it with Pam and heated everything up. The grill marks were much more dramatic and there was more nice crust. Overall, I think I'm happy with the purchase, and I'm sure I will learn some of the tricks with CI. The stuff I don't like 1. The center section does...

The FedEx guy dropped off a Charbroil CI grate today. Most important thing: They dont fit Smokey Joes. See pic below. Box The cast iron is a little on the thin side, but the price was right. With the center section out, a chimney easily fits inside. With center section...

For an easy alternative, try just salt and pepper. Makes a remarkable difference over plain.

Its about how much heat and fire is right underneath the meat and less about what the lid thermo says. IMHO, if you get a 2-briquette layer of grey coals (red glow and weird little flames in the coals) that extends past the steak on all sides, you'll get a good sear. For steaks, I get a fire as...

Mine is being shipped. Cant wait. Very excited the center section will fit in my up Smokey Joe P.

I've got a package of Evergood Hot Links. Any suggestions on cooking them? Would the beer/onion jacuzzi I give Johnsonville Brats be good?
