I looked those green mountain units up, very nice. So maybe a dumb question,  if you wanna sear anything is it only directly over the burn pot? Or does the heat fan out more than just a small area for searing?



They are great for cooking anything except a nicely seared steak.  They only get up to 500 degrees and the heat is way below the grates so not good for searing.  I even spent $100 on a set of Grill Grates.  They are an aluminum rack that may absorb heat to help sear.  Didn't do the trick for me.  SO that is where the charcoal or gas grill excel.  I will sell the Grill Grates for 1/2 price if anyone is interested!  Or make an offer.  LOL  SO I have a gas grill, my Daniel Boone and my Smokin' It smoker.  I use them all too.  I also have a cheaper kettle grill but don't use it much anymore.

Dotch's  last post got me wonderin if any of youse guys ;) have ever tried a flat iron steak? :scratch: We've had it 5 or 6 times in the last few months & every time it's been some of the best we've had in a long time. Very tender, lots of flavor when done the way we like it(MR), & cheaper than all the other cuts of steak at our local Fareway.  :happy1: :cool: Brother said the last we got was close to it's expiration date & was marked down to $5/lb.

Morgan's have them. They come vacuum packed & they're pre-marinated so it's easy peasy. I haven't seen them in their case w/o the marinade though. I like them for price & variety. Would like to get some w/o the marinade so I could do my own thing with them.

I will try a flat iron steak now that you said that.  Have always wondered if they were really good.  At the store today T-bones are still $16.99 lb.  Ribeyes also.  SO we are having pork chops.  They were completely out of chicken thighs.  Pork and chicken is all people are buying. At least up here.

That's kinda what's going on down here too. I felt $12.99/lb for those NY strips was purty steep but that's the way it is so I bit the bullet. I enjoyed the one I ate. Need to get another freezer so we have more room for things other than lamb & the smaller stuff. Preferably an upright so I don't have to be digging around in it all the time.  :embarrassed:

We have a chest freezer in the garage and an upright in the basement.  I am tempted to give the chest one away and get another upright.  Well I am going to do some thick cut chops on the smomer today like Leech did them.  Gonna be 205 for 3 hours.  Will have to get them spiced up and let them sit for awhile first.  I also got some Vidalia onion salad dressing yesterday.  Man that stuff is great!  Glad I got it.

After the storm had to fire up the grill. Got more egg roll fresh brats so needed to eat them. Some beans, salad, a couple cherry maters from the patio & glenn's favorite, sweet pickles! Mrs. Cheviot gave chase once again but it's like Wiley Coyote vs. the Roadrunner. She needs to call Acme & get some better weapons...  :coffee:

 :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:  I got me some real thick pork chops to do the Leech 205 for 3 hours thing.  Got them all spiced up and rubbed with some olive oil and they are in action in the smomer.  I thought they were bone in and didn't even look that close.  My fault.  They are boneless so may I will take em off a little early.  Definitely prefer bone-in.

Darn boneless chops were over done.  Still tasty so I will cut them up tomorrow and use them in something.  Great flavor!
