I whipped up a hot fire blowing a hair drier down into the coals. Read that in a few forum post, thanks. Tossed 3 tomatoes, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 red onion and a whole jalapeno in salt, pepper and a little avocado oil. Flipped the small grate upside down to get it close to the heat. Got a nice char on everything. I put a little extra char on the tomatoes with some long tongs and a welding glove right next to the coals. Put the whole thing in the Cusinart with lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper. Salsa with a touch of char.
