    Joe Hell Tex_77 You guys tried the grill grates? Those things are awesome! Bit pricey but I throw one on top of the chimney and it rocks out the steaks.

    Parksider I have used MHP’s version, that came before grill grates. MHP calls their version “Sear Magic” grids. You can see them on the picture of the MHP grill I posted above, I also use them on the Phoniex grill I have which really ups it performance. They leave great grill mark’s, but can be a bit of a pain to clean between the raised rails. I also saw an article this week say that the best way to season them or any grill grates, is to use an onion. Supposedly there is a chemical reaction that occurs with the sulfides in the onion that leaves a non stick layer that is good to 1,000 degrees on the grates. Its something I’ll really have to test out before I buy into it.

      Here is a close up of the “Sear Magic” grids and the grill marks they leave.

          Tex_77 I’m going to try the onion method. I have more onion than I know what to do with!

            Joe Hell I read Tex_77 thing with the onion this weekend and I had to mark it as unread so I would remember to look at it again, we are going to try it too, if it works then I’ll talk to our food scientist and see if he can explain the chemical reaction. My wife is a chemical engineer so she might have some input as well!

            On a similar note when I make cheese fondu I always crush a clove of garlic and rub it all around the inside of the pot, it helps the cheese not stick to the pot, I wonder if it is the same type of reaction?

              Jonathon I bet you are correct in your assumption with the garlic. I love this place…always something interesting to learn!

                    Tex_77 Look very similar to the grill grate but your’s are much more open then the grill grate. There are small hole for the drippings to get through.

                      Tex_77 I wonder if it would work on cast iron? I have a cast-iron pan I have been intentionally abusing to do a video on reseasoning one…I might try that!

                        Jonathon After a quick google search, it sounds like it should work, and according to the website I looked at, the seasoning will last longer then if you use oil. Looks like you have several things to test out on this subject.

                            Tex_77 That’s something we have gotten slightly better at, just testing one thing at a time. When we started we would try 6 new things at once and have no idea which thing helped, which had no effect and which hurt us!

                              Want a good grill, I bought a Char-Broil commercial grill, porcelain coated cast iron grates, stainless steel emitter plates. No flare ups, cooks just like grills in commercial kitchens. I can cook a steak in just under 10 minutes, the same with porkchops and still juicy. Well worth the extra $150 I spent on it.

                                Well it looks like Weber may have rolled out a game changer in the pellet grill market. Here is a link to a basic review of the grill from Meat Head and AmazingRibs Weber Smoke Fire There appears to be some pretty revolutionary features compared how most pellet grills are constructed. It will be interesting to follow up with their review once they are able to get a model to test thoroughly.

                                  Tex_77 Wow, that does look like an impressive unit! Not surprised really, Weber is who they are for a reason. Anyone know the price? I saw an article that said it would be below the comparable traegers but I couldn’t figure out which model they were referring to.

                                        Jonathon The price was surprisingly reasonable IMO. It’s awfully tempting but I need that Masterbuilt gravity fed charcoal first!
