Title: Wife has been complaining....
Post by: Bman on May 29, 2013, 08:15:32 PM
That I haven't made her steak in a really long time as I've been smoking too much 'bulk' stuff on the WSM. 
Huh,,, challenge accepted.  And on a Wed night - she didn't even see it coming.  lol
.
Fired up the newer Performer with a ring of RO Lump.  I've been using my expanded steel charcoal ring as is, but very recently wired it to a charcoal grate for an 18" to help retain the smaller bits of lump from dropping into the ash can.

Spuds in the 12" CI skillet to get the party started

As long as I was outside.....  I used the Genesis for the 10.25" CI skillet full of sprouts, fungi, & onion.

Spuds are 'bout done, so a few 'maters jumped in the pool.

Yeah, that'll be warm enough...  And this is where my action shots stop as I tossed in a handful of apple chips, replaced the cooking grate, and put the meat to the grill.  It all happens in a matter of seconds, but so does the flare up of apple chips.  I try to get the lid on ASAP and no time for photos.

After resting about 10 minutes, I cut the filet off of one.

That looks pretty good. Beef is on the menu here as well. I'll be heading out for some groceries in a few minutes and will be checking to see if sprouts are still in sale. (Not in the sale flyer... but red peppers are! And I just finished the last of the previous batch of roasted red pepper dip last week. :D )

Good use of cast iron as well. It is well suited to the grill.

That is a fine looking meal there! Thanks for sharing.  :D

I am wondering what the diameter of the basket is that you fabricated?
I happen to have some of that stuff kicking around, and I need a project.  ??? 8)
