First cook on the Q240

[Michael Roberts]

cooking on this grill is very different than cooking on my old OTG however since open flames aren't permitted at my condo this is my only option. I'll get the hang it though..

Here's the grill assembled and ready to use.

Next up is the strips each weighing about a pound. They're dusted with McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak spice.

Sides include beefsteak tomatos drizzled in EVOO, cracked black pepper and covered in buffalo mozzarella with spice on top and steamed potatos.

After one turn of the steaks.

They're a bit overcooked although still very tender and flavorful.

Tonight is Pecan Crusted Pork Chops....

Nice job!
Steaks look good. I'm thinking the more you cook on it the better it will get.

 

[Bill Schultz]

Great first cook Mike, well done. Good looking sides too.

 

[Troy Lew]

Wow, nice job. Been thinking I should get that Q for the stable.

 

[Michael Roberts]

Thanks! I too think it will just take some adjustment. There's always the dreaded learning curve.

 

[Tony R]

You still have your otg right?

 

[Bob Mann]

Very nice Michael!

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

Michael it looks like you and Mr. Q will get along very well. Nice job, I'd be proud of this cook.

 

[Paul Kastner]

Michael the cook looks great as does the grill. I think those grills run hot which caused the steaks to be less than perfect.

 

[John Solak]

Very nice Maiden cook, I really like the looks of those tomatoes too!!

 

[Peter Gallagher]

nice test drive - Everything looks so good!

 

[Wolgast]

Congrats! Sure looks good!

 

[Mike Coffman]

Looks really delicious Michael!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Nice first cook. I have a Q also and a world of difference in the OTG and a Q but it looks like it won't take you long to nail it.

 

[Michael Roberts]

You still have your otg right?

No I moved from a house to a condo so a friend ended up with my OTG.

No I moved from a house to a condo so a friend ended up with my OTG.

I'm sure you told him the grill was his but you still want to be invited once in a while to eat.....

no doubt Q is my new best friend

I'd have to agree it does run a bit hot and there's really no way to determine how hot it is.

Very nice Maiden cook, I really like the looks of those tomatoes too!!

the tomatos were fantastic! Should have cooked them a bit longer but still they were great.

Man what a sacrifice you made. Not sure I could willingly move someplace that i'd have to give up my Weber kettle or WSM. Nice looking steaks though.
