Just ordered a 2 Star! 2-3 weeks shipping, but at least it will get here before July 4th!
Congrats!!!! What will be your first cook...any idea?
I'll do the burn in, then a package of bacon to season things up a bit. I have a rack of baby backs, that will be first. Then a tri-tip I think.
Not being a "kill-joy" ...but seriously, the old "gotta burn in with bacon" is really not a useful thing to do. None of the parts need nor benefit from carbonized grease....And it merely adds to the collective build up that in the future you WILL need to scrape, scrub, AND bust your knuckles to remove.
The MAK is all an stainless engineering marvel...so - as to the old thing about "seasoning the grill" is really just a head trick to make you feel good about making mess in your grill
Bacon - good! But....put a pan under it to catch that grease today - and you will be thanking your lucky stars down the road when others have to strip their grill down and re-build it. I know...I AM "that guy"....
