Never seen that. I just put kabobs on the grate. I have the stainless and cast iron grates. Also have a grill mates grate I think it’s called.

It has a rotisserie and kabob rods. I have the iron grate and the stainless and I use my kitchen torch to light the coals runs on butane and put out a really hot flame.

I'd prefer a good pellet grill but it's way too humid here in OC on the Broad River and pellets quickly swell-up and clog the auger feeder.

Had the egg for 5 years and cooked on it 4 days a week for first couple years but I got lazy and back-slid..

..now I mostly use a propane that's up inside my screened-in porch.

Have a friend that measures out what he needs for a cook and pours that amount in...learning curve but he got it down pat now...

I got the best of all 3 worlds. Akorn for when I'm slummin' and just need to cook some burgers or chops, Blackstone for when it rains or I want to do a quick breakfast or fried rice and when I get serious about rickin' up a passel of Q I got the Stumps Junior.

Oddly, I've had my Akorn for about a decade, and I don't reckon I've ever cooked a burger or steak on it that I can remember. Those go on my barrel grill. I mostly use the Akorn for indirect grilling, smoking, and pizzas.

I've got an Akorn at deer camp and it does it all. It's a great little smoker and it'll sear a ribeye in a jiffy. We had thick filets serenaded in Paymaster's wet rub over hickory smoke Saturday night. They were off the chain good.

I've never used the BGE for steaks or burgers either, pretty much dedicated to smoking. I think I'll put it on the agenda, steak on the Egg, if for no other reason just to say I done it.

I'm very pleased with my outdoor cooking equipment. That said I plan to get a new Akorn soon. I like to run mine really hot when cooking pizzas and I think that has caused premature rusting.

Truth is, if I had the storage I'd probably have one of everything.

I don't have one but that rotisserie would be the bee's knees for chicken and pork loin.

We just got back from Lowes. They had the 2 burner Blackstone for $299. I mentioned it would be perfect for deer camp. But then I got "The Look™" and that was the end of that pipe dream.

 

[TJay]

I'm familiar with that "look".

I'll just wait until I'm headed to deer camp. That's what she said I would do anyway. It'll just show up as a charge on the VISA at Lowes, no description.

I've got a small tailgate style pellet grill at camp. Sure is handy.
When I grow up I wanna get me one of those Stumps smokers!

Here's hoping a Stump's Junior is in your future!

Wasn't that when you fixed the toilet a while back?

Does it replace the hinge point so it can close? I assume it must otherwise it would be a run away fire open continuously...

I couldn't figure that out. The angle is bad
