First use of the new warming grate for the 23. I wanted to put it through its paces to see if this new grate would turn the 23 into a true two zone machine similar to my 32 with its half main.
Started with the basket splitter and the warming grate. Put some sweet potatoes directly on the coals while monitoring the temp on the indirect side with the warming grate.
A bit later, I removed the warming grate, added a chunk of pecan, and inserted the sear grate. Put on some ribeyes
Yup, two. You mean, why not use one for the “roasting” and the other for sear? I could, although I’d normally just use the 32 for this cook since it is in a semi-permanent 2-zone configuration. Purpose on this cook was to test whether the 23 with warming grate and basket splitter could compare with my 32 in 2-zone configuration. Matched up reasonably well.
