The 18.5" cast iron grate is a perfect fit for the Charbroils Patio Bistro. For some added smoke we recommend using some wood pellets. Maple works great, just a small handful, they smolder, more like incense.  Great taste! Thank you Shane for sending that in.]]> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:48:08 +0000 <![CDATA[Black Friday]]> http://www.cast-iron-grate.com/blog/blackfriday/ We are running a 15% off sale till Black Friday, November 23, 2012.

We're overlooking the vineyards near the the famous red slopes in Nierstein. The kamado is brand-new and I added an extra fire ring to bring the grate up to felt level for easier video taping.

It seems that the flame ups stop just beneath the grate. The grate is our new 49cm/19.3" grate. Originally meant for the Roessle, but it fits just as well here. Its about 30% thicker and heavier than the smaller 17.3"

The grates are quite new, so no need to brush. I just scrape them a bit and clean them with an oiled piece of cloth.

I grill 2 2 lbs t-bone steaks. I added the potatoes during the warm up an hour earlier.

When cooking at high temperature I don't open the vents more than half to prevent flareups. How important is the distance to the flames? I went further away, the results were as good as going right next to them.

I am visiting my friend Felix and show you how he grills. This Episode brings us to Oppenheim, an old city on the river rhine. Felix lives just under the castle ruins. He has a Weber with 22.5" cast iron grate and a veggie wok.

His grate was a bit rusty. It took a couple of minutes to have everything grill ready. We use a spatula and the lifting handle to scrape the grates, then a spray bottle to oil and paper towel to suck up the black oil.

I prepared 2 thick ribeye steaks that I cut in half and wrapped in bacon. For the veggie wok I just diced 3 peppers, oil, then salt and pepper.

Felix told me that I can save coal if I spread it out after grilling, anyone else have this experience?

The coals are under the griddle and the potatoes right next to them on the bottom grate. Onions and brats on the griddle, bunch of wings closer to the fire, cream-cheese, bacon, onion stuffed green peppers and corn (soaked for an hour, husk half removed) The egg-plants are for the egg-plant salad. Enjoy!

I usually use very lumpy charcoal, it still looks like the tree it came from, they light up fast, and get hot fast, but I got to lift up a quarter once in a while to add or otherwise mess around with the coals.

We played with different marinades but found that if we put on too much it turned a bit “dark”

Today we had Flank steak, a tough cut, but we managed it quite well.

The crust was incredible!
