gravedigging my own thread here
i bought a house last autumn and intend to do a lot of entertaining because my back yard is pretty awesome
my weber kettle grill wasn't going to cut it and any big cheap grill is going to be crap but i didn't want to shell out the money for a big weber
i loved my days cooking as a line cook on a flat top so i bought this sucker
it is amazing. 60,000 BTU's and 756 in^2 cooking area that is completely useable because you can throw stuff up against the sides.
made smashed diner-style burgers the first night for a crowd of 20, the first round stuck pretty badly (even though i seasoned it beforehand) but after that it became pretty non-stick. pictured above is fried rice and as you can see i'm working on scrambling some eggs, and they did not stick at all. as non-stick as non-stick cookware.
fun as hell to cook on, all my friends were just standing around watching me. no chance of typical grill issues like burners getting rusted out or flare-ups. and if i were to pre-form my meat patties (as opposed to smashing them on the flat top), this thing can put out a lot of food, just look at this pic from an amazon review
Plus I now have a legitimate use for my laser thermometer. Gets close to 500 degrees and that was on a moderately windy day.
You have me intrigued. How do you cover the surface after use though?
