Title: New Member first cook on charcoal in 25 years.
Post by: WMB-DMB on January 15, 2017, 05:35:11 PM: From my new member Into
"I am a SC Native living in Eastern NC for the past 22 years. My parents and Uncle had houses on Lake Murry SC that we sent summers at. My father had a PK Grill starting in 1960. I have owned mostly Gas grills and Now have a TEC Gas grill.

Wanted to get back to real Grilling and thought about a Ceramic egg type grill, but as I researched them, I realized I really wanted something for indirect/slow cooking to complement the gas grill.

Just ordered a new PK Grill because Father knew best."

My son and I decided to give it a try this weekend. He has never cooked on charcoal. Tried Reverse Sear for the first time ever. Thank You - tomcrete1/Tom Horsman

Started at about 400 degrees After 30 minutes of cooking

After about 50 more minutes

We opened the grill after another 30 Minutes - two Hours total

Moved to My Tec Grill to do the sear, because the Tempature on the PK was low - Lesson learned, I need to manage the coals better.

End Result after 2 and 1/2 hours including Rest time of 10 minutes before searing and 15 minutes before plating.

I guess grilling is like riding a bike, after 25 years you weren't afraid to get rolling again!

Actually, I learned a lot from this site and videos.

I did run out of heat and went to Tec for searing. Next time I will add charcoal along the way.

Any Tips would be appreciated.
