Lid on or off?

[bobberineyes]

Charcoal grilling steaks I find lid off chars them up nicely...you guys?

[delcecchi]

Yep, unless they flare too much... Then lid on.  Sous Vide and seared on grill is best.

[bobberineyes]

I gotta try that del..

[eyeguy 54]

me need to thaw one after lookin at this

Higher heat with lid off = better sear. Looks perfect to me...*slobber* I want to see pics of Del's soused up steaks....with or without his lid on. 

[bobberineyes]

Dels right though,  can't have lid off too long or they'll be over seared.  The bacon wrapped taters took a hit though with all the flame ups going on, but I still devoured them..

thew a couple V steaks on after seeing your pic. good late night snack.  sorry, no charcoal.

Seared on both sides quickly over high heat then moved over for indirect heat with lid on to finish.

As for potatoes  started early ofcourse,  oiled then salted with kosher salt direct heat till skin is crisp then turned over to crisp the other side then indirect heat the remaider of time much better than aluminum wraped. Poke with fork when some resistance to flesh start steaks

Great points waker,  I wish I took after shots Cuz the steaks were perfect. The taters on the weber I usually do this way, however on the big charcoal grill I oil them up and put in the warming rack, have not tried kosher salt,  but will next time.  Thanks for the ideas.

I just seared my HAMBURGERS to juicy perfection...then the lid went on to melt the swiss and sharp cheddar on 'em. 'Tater salad was waiting inside. 93* too hot on deck to be sitting out. 

[smurfy]

Yea that heat could make that katchup rancid!

Old work buddy coming over for a cook out...full rack of smoked baby backs, some CSR's slathered in sauce, italian rotini with cherry tomatos salad,  southern pit grillin' beans,egg/chive tater salad, smoked gouda mac salad, his calico bean dish, garlic toast, giant green tops, radishes, olives, iced tea, pink lemonade, watermelon, root beer floats, and whatever else he brings. If we can move, I'll get some pics... 

[smurfy]

All that for only the 2 of you??? I'd bet a certain  female is showing up too!!!

[RebelSS]

WHOOPS! I posted this on Bobber's thread instead of under "just food and drink"...man, I'm gettin' old and confused, I guess. Sorry, boober!!  And ya, we ate most of it, Smurfo, My buddy took home a CSR for later...the rest is all  gone. Baby back is cut in half to fit grill....*Urp*burp*  

 

Forgot to get pic of ribs with BBQ sauce slathered on 'em...we had our noses in appetizers. 

[smurfy]

Looks good reb!!!

[bobberineyes]

No worries here reb, you just keep posting away wherever you feel. That looks mouth watering  by the way.  Besides it doesn't matter where it's posted,  in the long run it ends up in the same place anyhow.  Well maybe.
