        Joe Hell Tex_77 PapaSop I’m a sucker for new stuff and it being a Weber, I’m going to finagle one for sure! But then I’ll have to quit trash talking my brother and his Traeger. He uses that thing to cook about every meal he makes! And how doesn’t love Harry So on of the Weber Bullet OG’s…

        Parksider I was heavily considering the new Masterbuilt gravity series but I am less than impressed with their lack of details in advertising. Most images of the grill are terribly photoshopped with fake fire and charcoal. Unprofessional at best. Also, my MB40 smoker malfunctioned today. Lol

                Jonathon short of seasoning it up like any other grill there are no tricks that I did. I see people seasoning in the shell on the inside, although not sure how much a difference that makes. Avocado oil is my seasoning oil of choice. I will say I prefer to use only lumb charcoal on these units

                      Well here was first true cook on the PK 360. I reversed seared some choice ribeyes, seasoned with Stagner’s Steak seasoning. I used the two zone method and brought them up to 115 and the seared for 1:30 each side, rotating at 45 seconds. They look good, but I need work on my grill marks. I may need to put a bacon press or the like on them to get them perfect. I have know idea what temp the Grill Grates were running at, next time I’ll use my IR thermometer and check what temp they are at. The steaks finished at medium, so I will definitely start the searing at a lower temp next time.

                        Darkfish89 I’ve been using Kingsford Professional briquettes as I had a couple bags of it I wanted to get used up, and it has worked great so far. I’ve had quite a bit of useable charcoal left behind after each cook, I’m not sure how regular Kingsford would fare. I’ll say I’m pretty impressed that once you close all the vents it gets pretty air tight. Once I’m through with these bags of Kingsford Professional I will switch to lump charcoal, since that is what I use in my Primo anyway. Do you have a preferred brand of lump that you are using?

                          Tex_77 I use Royal Oak lump because it’s the most readily available. As Darkfish89 mentioned I also use avocado oil on everything for its neutral flavor and high smoke point.

                            Tex_77 I use Timber Charcoal. Its been great to me for years. The bags are very consistent on piece sizes and you know your getting just oak and hickory with no junk wood. You should pick up a steak press if you haven’t got one yet it helps with the appearance and makes sure steaks don’t curl up on you. I am glad I have another PK guy in the group lol

                              Darkfish89 Where are you getting that Timber Charcoal at, is that what Walton’s sales? I’ve never seen it anywhere. Where I’m at my choices tend to be Cowboy Charcoal, Royal Oak, B&B, Rockwood, or BGE.

                                Tex_77 I just get it at Walton’s. I know the store isn’t close to you so I would just try a couple of different brands and see which works for you. Royal Oak seems to be a good one from what ive seen. but hey Walton’s will ship a bag or two im sure.

                                  Darkfish89 Only problem with shipping charcoal, is how beat up it would be by the time it got here. I’ll have to pick some up when I’m in town again here in a couple months.

                                      Well did some practicing on the PK 360 today. Choice ribeyes, rubbed with avocado oil and seasoned with Oakridge BBQ Carne Crosta Steakhouse Rub and a bit of salt, as I find that rub lacking in salt. I shot the grill grates with my IR thermometer and they were running between 650-700 degrees. I cooked them for 3 minutes a side and used pressed to ensure good contact with the grates. I pulled on immediately and cut into it, and it was nice and rare on the inside with a good crust on the outside. The other steak I left on, but moved it to the indirect side for 3 or 4 minutes as my wife prefers her medium rare and above, and it came off the grill perfect. Not a bad way to start the New Year off!

                                        KansasDad My mom is anti smoke as well. I can rarely change her mind…brisket is the only exception. I would like to spend some time with a Yoder for sure. They look like a quality product! I am over the moon in regards to my Weber kettle. I should have bought one years ago.

                                        Joe Hell i have a weber grill I purchased in 1977 and use often, grilling steaks or chicken or homemade sausage. It has a aluminum body and all I have replaced was several grill tops. Its my # 1 for small stuff.

                                          Well here was first true cook on the PK 360. I reversed seared some choice ribeyes, seasoned with Stagner’s Steak seasoning. I used the two zone method and brought them up to 115 and the seared for 1:30 each side, rotating at 45 seconds. They look good, but I need work on my grill marks. I may need to put a bacon press or the like on them to get them perfect. I have know idea what temp the Grill Grates were running at, next time I’ll use my IR thermometer and check what temp they are at. The steaks finished at medium, so I will definitely start the searing at a lower temp next time.
