All About Grilling

[ushdadude]

I did it for about 2 min (after it hit 110 on the "cold" half of the grill), and my wife wouldn't touch it. In all fairness, it did remind me of ben drusai. Probably 3 min would've been perfect.

grill probably wasn't hot enough then

probably don't need to be as accurate as the thermoworks one is but I like the speed. I don't enjoy burning my hand waiting for a temp reading and I don't like taking stuff off the grill to check. I was tempted to buy the thermopen 1 (1 second readings) when it was on sale but my 3 second one is working fine so no need.

I have mine for 2 years and I feel like the read is taking longer, anyone having similar feeling?

When grilling in the rain or snow. Do you cover the grill immediately while it's hot, or wait for it too cool?

I have this, a couple of rocks, a portable grate, and some fairly thin skirt steaks.

Should I even bother, or just pan sear them?

No need for grates. Directly on glowing coals/wood

i personally would skip and do pan. will take a long time for logs to get to charcoal stage

That's not the problem lol

Not really in a rush here. My question is really if I'll have issues with charred outside and raw insides, or stuff like that.

[Something Fishy]

Directly on the coals may be a bit too iffy for me lol
