Santa Maria Chuck Eyes

[Jim Lampe]

Drove to meet up with my pal Bob yesterday....

Sir Correll picked up a special cooker for me to try out...

a Santa Maria grill

I did not waste too much time gettin' it fired up

I remember John Solak stating he uses the coal chamber of a WSM
to keep the charcoal isolated to one area for a smaller cook... so I did just that.

got the fire good and hot, tossed in some hickory wood for smoke flavour then added the chuck eyes

not too long later, the steaks were grilled perfectly

and served with oven roasted potatoes, onions, peppers and carrots.

daggumgood grilled eyes!
It was a bit breezy & chilly last night,
I'm sure the Santa Maria will be an ideal grill on those long hot summer days...
looking forward to many more cooks using this fine machine!
a BIG Thank You to BOB CORRELL

for thinking of me when his grabbed these grills
AND
for yesterday's brief but most enjoyable visit!

Nice cooker and nice cook Jim. I always wondered with these cookers, since they are open, does it eat up fuel fast?

First thing that came to mind in the first pic is, "no mountains?" guess that shows I'm a West Coast guy, anyway, fantastic, delicious looking cook, don't know what a chuck eye steak is, all I've ever smoked is a chuck roll or clod, do these steaks come from that?

And if you don't mind too many questions, I take it you used charcoal instead of wood, did it burn up quickly?

Man, seeing the Santa Maria Grill plaque brings back a lot of good memories, reminds me I'm a long way from Kansas, Toto.

I am digging the new grill! Looks a little too clean right now but I am sure it will get "seasoned" real soon!

 

[Bob Correll]

Dang, was the paint even dry on that thing yet?
Way to break her in Jim, beautiful eyes and veggies!
