My New Toy
« Reply #-1 on: June 30, 2014, 01:01:15 PM »
I took advantage of the Charbroil SRG deal on HSN on Father’s Day.
I couldn’t pass it up for 145.00 plus shipping.  It arrived this morning
(as they were back ordered) and it took me about 15 minutes to unwrap
the packing and another 30 minutes to put it together.  The instructions
really were not too much help!


Getting ready to season it with peanut oil.


Starting to smoke!


After a 15 minute burn off I decided to see what the temp was. By the time I got my camera in
focus it had dropped from 613 to 600.  Still plenty hot enough to sear some steaks or burgers!


Seasoned and ready to cook on! Just need to decide what I am going to cook tonight on it!  Really
thinking just some burgers and Conecuh sausage for the first go around.

For those of y'all who have an SRG and would like racks like mine, I found these today. 

http://www.kitchencollection.com/hamilton-beach-nonstick-set-of-2-broiler-racks-04477

They come as a set now not individual as before.  And 4.99 for the pair is cheaper than the 3.99 each I was paying

ONE NOTE:  These work great but in the HIGH heat infrared the coating may come off.  If this happens just wire brush down and season each time you use them.  I have 15 of them

I got 2 sets ...I think the shipping was more than the racks.
