Well, this is practice night again for the steak cook-off in May. We will be trying a new seasoning on a few of the steaks. We only have a few more weeks to get ready for this one. And it is the BIG ONE!! ;)
-
You need someone to help with your taste testing, I will take one for the team and step up and eat all your steak ;)
Seriously, best of luck with the testing...

I am using my grill grates for the first time today.
What temp will you have you BBQ at before placing your stakes on?
Thanks,

I think he told me he cooks at 700-800F. He uses a flat top and grill grates.

That looks very similar to The Good One Lonestar grill also made in Kansas......

I'll normally get the temp up around 800. Get it as HOT as possible and let er rip! ;) That's works for me anyway.
-
That's right. It is a Yoder grill with GrillGreats. I try to get up around 800 before I put the steaks on. ( Don't forget to bring them to room temperature before you put them on)

I wonder what smoke gets with his on the OldSmokey?

I was thinking about getting a charcoal grate from a Weber 22 with some bolts and fender washers to raise the coal level for some serious searing.
I tried Sparky's method using the weber baskets as blockers on the outside using some lump down the middle. It was good, but I think the charcoal grate is a little too far away for that.
I was also thinking about something to put under the original charcoal pan, but did not find anything on hand. If I had some firebricks I would stand them on end and try it.

Do you think it was more than 1 Chimney full?

And...lump 'coal burns considerably hotter ( if you are using a consistent brand ) than briquettes....
-

he'll answer when he sees this
but I'm betting around two big Weber chimney fulls
I did two chimney starters about 3/4 full. I used to just fill one starter up but by the time the top of the starter was fully lit the bottom was starting to get spent.
I am still waiting for those grill grates to cool down Captain ;D

I put about 1/4 of a bag of charcoal (Kingsford) in first. I use lighter fluid and to get it going. I try to get the cheap brand to squirt it down with. When the coals get burning to the point I think the starter fluid has burned away, I add about another 1/4 of the bag. This seems to work pretty good as far as a good "clean" fire that wont leave any lighter fluid taste on the steaks. When we do the competitions, I start out with about 1/2 a bag and step it up from that to get the high temps.

Jack there was one of those old Char-Broil grills on Craigslist here in Birmingham not long ago for $25, looked to be in very good condition in the photos. The only thing that kept me from buying it was that $25 would have wound up costing me the cost of a divorce lawyer + half of everything I owned.
-
What other chimney starters fit on the propane thing???

Ken, I just keep telling Debbie that they're the toys of my hobby
and compared to many of my other hobbies
BBQ is CHEAP !!
the meat costs more than the cookers
Well I have 4 charcoal grills (3 in storage), 3 gas stoves (2 in storage), half a dozen turkey burners (all in storage), half a dozen crab boil pots (most in storage) and several hundred pounds of cast iron cookware in storage. I am paying rent on a 10x25 storage building and my garage is full. Between the cooking gear and fishing gear and camping gear I don't use I am running out or room, but I may NEED it all one day. Watch your TV guide for upcoming episodes of Hoarders to see when I will be on.
