I'm sure they won't be hard to make but next weekend going to try chicken fried steaks. Will make a nice country gravy to go with and think I'll either elote up some corn or maybe back off some Brussels.
what are you doing for batter?

I’m worried about the utility. I dont see an easy way to manage heat since it appears it would be one even layer of charcoal. Of course i could use the trellis burner zone but that seems to defeat the purpose.

Also, wondering if I want to add another sear burner other than the one overhead.

From Sunday night, finishing up my blanched veggie medley.

Not pictured: The sake I drank with it and the pan gravy.

edit: The little maggot looking things are dried rosemary as I don't buy fresh herbs generally.

Never just burn charcoal, always add wood. Or buy seasoned wood chunks (Central Market or HEB carry a good selection) and burn it down to coals and use that. Kamados are great with either.

I bought a Hestan grill from BBQ Guys three years ago and it is one incredible grill. Well designed top to bottom. Have the wood chip burning tube, but have yet to use it. That charcoal attachment looks cool as well. I rounded out my outdoor kitchen with a fridge, and a Roccbox, which is just amazing.

It is as cool as it looks, and really does the job. I haven't made my own dough yet, but the preformed doughs i get work well. I need to find premade 00 flour doughs, as those would cook really nicely in there. The thing gets scorching hot with a flame that rolls over the top, and given the kids and time restrictions, the propane option is great! I haven't used the wood burning box yet.

Caveat, I heat it for 15-20 mins before cook. Because it heats to such a high temp, pizza in 60 seconds and a very quick recovery to make another. You can crank out 4-5 in about 10-12 minutes.

Pizza in 60 seconds? ****.

Agree - it is amazing. I was going back and forth between hestan and lynx and couldnt be happier. I had the privilege of using a kalamazoo this past weekend and the hestan is just as good for gas grilling but i have to admit the charcoal slide out trays on the kalamazoo are next level.

Do you have sear burners or trellis burner? I did all trellis and use the top mount rotisserie sear burner to get that unbeatable IR sear, but wonder if i should swap out one trellis for another IR just for fun.

I am intrigued by the charcoal insert but am still wondering how much utility it has. I feel like i would only be able to use for high heat. Maybe wood chips and put food in another zone to smoke?
