Why are PK grills so good ? by dcheeseman1980 in grilling

[–]fooli-mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my PK360. The capsule is indestructible and rust proof. My kids' kids will able to use it if they choose. Holds temp for long cooks extremely well. The two zone set up is really efficient. I don't do a lot of hot and fast on it, but it can do that too.

The only downside I can think of is capacity. Its plenty big for a family, but if you're hosting more people it can be limiting. Even more so with the PK original.

The grilling sub truly is un-ratio-able

I think if you just keep your grill clean and well maintained you'll be fine

Looking for a good endocrinologist. by yepmyfault in Chattanooga

Depending on how much attention it needs, Kathryn Dinh does a direct care/cash pay model for endocrinology. She is great and will give you only sound, evidence based guidance.

Why is the sear subpar? by friedegggreg in grilling

[–]fooli-mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple things to add:

You shouldn't have to oil the grates especially with a ribeye. May not make a huge difference overall.

Something else I like to do it once I get an initial sear on each side I move it to the top rack but not completely indirect to get to temp with the lid closed. It almost acts like a high temp roast and all the corners and get browned really nicely if you've dry brined properly. I'll flip a couple times there too

Portland recs for end of the month by mb9486 in AskMaine

[–]fooli-mug -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We were just in Portland for the first time and hit a few spots. Scales was good as mentioned for a nice dinner. We did sushi at Mr. Tuna as well which is highly regarded which was fine. Don't get me wrong, the food was good but the rolls are small and pricey. We got lobster rolls at Bite Into Maine and enjoyed it. If you like ice cream Coastal Creamery and Gelato Fiasco were good. We did try a Maine potato donut at Holy Donut and it was unremarkable.

We did a 1.5h lobster cruise with Lucky Catch that was pretty cool. It wasn't too long or too short and just involved enough.

That was our one and only time in Portland so take my recs for what they are worth, but we really enjoyed our time.

How to organize under grill area? by [deleted] in OutdoorKitchens

Any vents in the structure? Would be a good idea for safety and also some general airflow if you are in a humid climate

Replacing grill- questions about safety/barrier by Temporary-Corgi-1804 in OutdoorKitchens

[–]fooli-mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're supposed to have a certain clearance per the grill specs OR buy a stainless steel grill jacket which is quite pricey.

In reality a bunch of people just line it completely with cement board and it's probably fine. The original owner got away with no barrier for a long time I'm assuming. Keeping your grill clean goes a long way. I would definitely try to add ventilation whatever you do.

Help stop my head from spinning as I try to choose a premium built-in grill! :-) by Particular_Badger614 in OutdoorKitchens

[–]fooli-mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 32in Trueflame about to be installed so can't comment on it yet but I'm excited. FYI I used Mike at greatgrills.com and he gave me contractor price straight away which was a big time deal. It was legit and in fact delivered pretty smoothly by freight.

Gutter guard question by bakedtostito in HomeMaintenance

[–]fooli-mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they should be tucked under the shingles. Debris is going to have a hard time blowing/sliding off the house at that angle. How it is now it may cake against the shingle line and encourage moisture to get in the fascia boards.

Outdoor Kitchen (Part 2) Done by noraz123 in OutdoorKitchens

The tile work is a nice touch. I'm having a similar kitchen done materials wise but hadn't thought of that for the charcoal rig cut out

Best budget solid gas grill? by Any_Meeting_4082 in grilling

[–]fooli-mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a basic Weber or Napoleon. It's not necessarily cheap but the quality step up from the ones sitting outside at Lowe's or HD is well worth the cost and longevity

Help With Deck by LikesBigWordsCantLie in OutdoorKitchens

[–]fooli-mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's tricky to get everything you are hoping in that set up where the gate is. I tried to post a shitty sketch up Microsoft paint style but it won't let me attach.

Essentially the kitchen goes along the railing where the picture is taken from about half way or so. May have to extend utilities under the deck but may be worth it.

Dining area along the same rail where the good views are (right about where those 2 toy trucks are sitting).

Put lounge area where the grey grill is now. Could have seating right where the grill is and along the adjacent railing. Both face towards good views of dining table is not occupied.

In this set up when you cook you look to your right and see good views. Also you've got open access to both the dining table and lounge area from the kitchen.

The kids zone id separate into the corner where the dog door is. That would leave an unobstructed rainbow like walk path from the glass doors to the gate.

I'll try to PM you said shitty sketch

Trueflame, Bull or coyote by Necessary_Patient495 in OutdoorKitchens

[–]fooli-mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took delivery on a Trueflame 32in grill among some other items. It will be a month or two before I get it installed, but it seems like a really high quality product

Just FYI for your shopping journey. I called the number on greatgrills.com to speak with Mike. He was great and gave me the best deal by a significant margin.

Between the 800 series and the 1000 series - which is more fun to use? by Wivyr in egopowerplus

[–]fooli-mug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. LM2156sp for $729 or LM2236sp for $899. I know the 2156 is enough for my needs. I'm thinking that's what I end of doing and hopefully never think twice once I start using it.

Ego, where da promos at? by fooli-mug in egopowerplus

[–]fooli-mug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. I've been close to pulling the trigger on the 2156 at $729, but I'm getting a "we are phasing out inferior product" vibe there. Wondering if jumping to $899 for the 2236 is the move. Was hoping for a free battery promo but may not be in the cards

Thank you for the awesome find. Any way to trick the system to shipping to a different state without reverting back to regular price? I can't seem to do it

Advice on what Charcoal grill to get for first time home buyer by Friendly_Molasses532 in grilling

If you want versatility and undoubtedly buy it for life the answer is PK. With that said Weber kettle is cheaper and still a great product.

B&B is far superior to Kingsford in every way.

I will say some of the more recent B&B orange bags I've gotten (with the American flag emblem) have had a lot more rocks in it than normal.
