I am trying to figure out if I can use my Cajun Grill to cook "Santa Maria Style". The space between the charcoal and grill grate is 9". With 8" dampers on both sides. The cooking grate is easy for one person to remove to add coals.
Anyone want to set the over/under on how many posts before the "Try it and find out" comment is made.:laugh:
I do plan on trying it and I will report back on the results but in the mean time anyone have thoughts on this.
I have searched here and the web for info and I would welcome some of your opinions. I think it is an open top design with an adjustable grill grate for hot and fast cooking. Other than that are there any essential elements that make up a Santa Maria Grill. I have read comments by fellow Brethren that the cooking grate should have the ability to be lowered below the side walls. Is that a deal breaker or just a nice feature? Do you think the open lid would capture enough smoke to make a difference? Is the flavor profile the most important thing or the cooking style?
I would appreciate your thoughts.
