I wanted to test the GA at High Heat. Might as well cook supper while I'm at it. :razz:
Had a flatiorn steak seasoned with SM Peppered Cow:
Set up the Maverick ET-732 grill temp probe with a couple of small pieces of pecan:
A little less than 1/2 chimney of coals and probe in place:
Maverick reading "HHH". The spec sheet said the high temp max alarm setting is 578*F. That was dead on. I'm guessing it was running at least 650*F when I put the steak on:
At the flip. It only took 4 mins:
Another 4 mins off and resting. Pulled it at 142*F since the Wife wanted it a little more than rare this time:
Plated and ready:
My conclusion is that I approached 700*F (even though I could only measure to 578*F) with Kingsford briquettes and it would go even hotter with lump based on a 8 min cook time for a cut of meat that size. I also closed all vents and still have enough left to do it again without adding new coal. This little rig should handle any HH demands I put on it with no problem.
Thanks for lookin'.
