SSgt93 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Another issue I am having is using the grate handles. It is very awkward for me when using them. I really like them. Especially for the giant middle main grate piece on the 42. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steaks were a little on the bland side, with not much smoky taste. Is that a reflection of the coconut lump? Is it necessary to use other woods for flavoring when using this lump? It does burn very nice and gets hot very quickly but I do want more of a smoky taste. Yes, the cocochar has very little smoke flavor on its own. That makes things very nice and flexible for a lot of cooks that either don't require any real smokiness; and for cooks where you only want the flavor of the smoking wood that you want to use. For a big steak like these, I use a combo of post oak and mesquite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
