First cook on my 18.5 Budlight OTS

Quick overview. It's been more than a couple years since I've grilled w/o gas. Won't waste your time w/backstory, but I recently got an 18.5” Budlight OTS off craigslist.

I'm trying to eat more healthy, so this cook involves top round steaks and potatoes topped w/fat free options.

Here it is just before firing up..had to do a beer shot..



Potatoes going on



Steaks where brushed w/olive oil then dusted w/onion powder, garlic powder, sage and pepper on both sides

Steaks going on



Rain was heading my way, so I had to ramp up the cook times. Didn't have time to do a reverse sear on the steaks or slow cook the taters. Did a safe cook for each. Steak has no sear marks, taters were mashed w/chives, sour cream, cheese and butter after taking off grill.

Final plate

Looks great. Grilled potatoes are the best.

thanks guys, sorry the plated pic was blurry, but everything turned out great, tastewise. Cookwise, I realized I need to do some tuning on my coal management. Took too long to cook the taters imho. But I'll figure it out.

Do sweet potatoes same way for a healthier option too and I find takes not as long.  So damn good.

 Try them down in against the coals, like so ~~~>
