Hi All
Wonderful forum.
I recently received my Q200 after having a Weber Chargrill for years. I've always wanted a gas grill here in Japan.
I've done a lot of searching and reading on the forum in the last couple days, so hopefully I won't be too clueless as a new user, but to some extent, that's inevitable.
Some Qs:
1. One thing I'll miss about the chargrill is the ability to indirect cook. I see that Phil has lots of posts up about this...maybe there's a place where all these "articles" could (do?) live as a resource...stickly note, etc?
2. The griddle. I got one for the Q and so far have been a bit dissappointed with the heat. At the moment, I'm only using the portable gas canisters (sorting out LP gas issues here in Japan) and even on high, it's not really "sizzling". The griddle does well with pancakes and eggs, but hashbrowns were a near bust, and sausages/bacon don't really sizzle with zest. I've not read any issues with this...experience?
(I should add here that the iron grill grating itself gets plenty hot. The flame just does not seem hot enough to heat the larger mass of the griddle to anywhere near the same temps)
3. Thanks again to all contributing members for some great reading so far!
Cheers
