The Do's
Great value grill: Someone please add :)

The Dont's
Don't play with the food on the grill. Flip it once (or twice if need be), that's all.

Be careful. Once your grill gets used you can have one heck of a grease fire and destroy your grill.
I singed my face as a 10 year old (but that was leaving fires on while closing tank valve instead of closing valve then lighting new fire to burn out excess)

Any recommendations for reducing smoke when using a cast iron grill pan indoors? I know that I need to get it super hot to get a good enough sear, but at a certain point, it's not worth it due to the smoke.

Cool, thanks. Is that something that can be used in a small residential kitchen? And does it need to be installed permanently or do you put it in as needed?

Yup, for sure. The problem is in my current space I have no space for outdoor grilling so it's indoors or nothing.

Do you have outdoor space for a small electric burner?

needs to be installed. Alternatively, if you have two windows opposite each other, you can put a box fan or window fan in the window closest to the stove and it should work the same

But the fat on whatever you are grilling will still smoke

Right. I use high smoke point oils but cast iron gets much hotter, plus the fat smokes a ton too.

May as well just do it on the stove then (if using a gas grill).

For veggies I find a grill basket to work well (search on amazon). Although you can really just get another grate/wire rack (with smaller slats) and place perpendicular atop the current grate.
Grill basket takes up so much space on the grill though.

pretty easy. Even easier in a cast iron or any searing pan. Thats the only way we do it. Crispy skin! same with salmon, bronzino, trout, halibut, steaks

Pans are always easier, was talking about grilling.

 Were do you get chicken breast with skin on?
I was talking about skinless boneless. the difference between perfectly cooked/juicy, and dry non edible breasts, can be 30 seconds.
Chicken breasts have very little fat, unlike the other proteins you mentioned.

If the difference is 30 seconds then you probably have your flame too high..
