Have you ever done a favor that you considered rather minor for a friend, and then that friend comes to repay the favor in a completely improportional way that favors you to the point where you’re speechless?
Well, I have.
I can’t tell you the favor or the friend as he wishes to consider the problem solved, but I can show you the gift.
This grill was inherited by my friend through his family, and seeing as how he already has one as nice or nicer and knew I was looking for one, he refurbished it and made the delivery to my place.
Over the week that the Analog Wife was with her family in Montana, I seasoned it up with “Beef Week” and then this weekend she and I hosted around a dozen or so of my relatives with it, and I have no other words than to say that it flawlessly completed all tasks asked of it.
I was actually hoping I’d remember to take some pics of it in action this weekend when it was full of ribs, burgers, dogs, etc, but not burning your guest’s food takes too much attention for me to also remember to grab the camera, so you’ll have to settle for my lunch from Sunday.
I’ve never had a grill with a searing burner, and I don’t think I can go back now. Fire up that 18,000 BTU firebreather, set your 12oz. Flat Iron steak on there for 45-60 seconds a side, then fork that slab over to the regular burners to grill it to your liking (Med Rare, thankyouverykindly).
You’d almost think that you’ll have to protect your steak from Zeus because even he couldn’t get something that tasty on Mt. Olympus.
We’ll be attatching the rotisserie bar and motor in the next couple weeks and if it works like the rest of the thing, those little game hens won’t stand a chance.
SWEEEET!!!!
Very nice, just burn the outside for me though. I would use the searing burner ALOT.
Bullfrog, you “charred rare” types creep me out. Crunchy and bloody, eh? (Shudder)
