After seasoning (clarified bacon grease), I did a test run with bacon and eggs. Guys! I never want to cook bacon any other way, ever again.

But of course, the real test was the sear I could get on ribeyes. I took these just a couple degrees past perfect internally, but for a first run, I'll take it.

The flavor certainly isn't the same as what I get on the smoker; but man, you just can't beat that sear.
In fairness, I bought it to be a smoker, not a grill. And I never really cared about any temperatures above about 350F. I just wanted the best smoker for my needs.That's why I bought a Yoder. It can get up to 800 degrees. Adding the cast iron flat top gives me sear and the flavor from pellets.
One of my favorite treats/snacks from Moody's in Avon is their chicken bites (what you did here) and chicken bombs (these, but with jalapeno).Bacon wrapped chicken bites, drizzle on real maple syrup, dust with black pepper & chili powder, 400 deg & done, delicious. Loving these quick turn meals for good eats on weekday evenings. The small morsels of chicken cook fast & lots of bacon flavor.View attachment 291796
MUST visit that place. They even have recipes https://moodysbutchershop.com/recipes/ might have to try those salmon cakes with a low carb substitute for panko breadcrumbs. Sister & myself keep trying to find a way to like salmon, it's suppose to be good for you, haOne of my favorite treats/snacks from Moody's in Avon is their chicken bites (what you did here) and chicken bombs (these, but with jalapeno).
Their Faroe Island salmon (farmed) is actually really good. My aunt asks for it every time she comes over to visit.MUST visit that place.

Some Surf n Turf tonight with fried/baked taters and sweet corn.
Actually not much of a recipe at all. Took some good sized baking taters and cut them in half, placed face down. Added about 2 Tbsp butter and fresh garlic to the pan, sprayed them with some olive oil, and sprinkled with kosher salt, and some Kinder's prime rib seasoning. Ran the grill at 400 degrees for about an hour.Recipe for the taters! Come on man, give it up.
