What regulator did you go with?

Just a basic one by Char Broil at Lowe's.

I tried posting an image but it’s too blurry. Cooked fried rice, zucchini, onions, broccoli, mushrooms, and chicken with it. The grill temp was definitely high. Much better than yesterday. I unscrewed the regulator and put it back on. I don’t know if that helped but the grill was nice and hot tonight.

What did you do for sauce? Just soy sauce, or did you do anything else.

I did some more rice this weekend, and it was probably the best fried rice I've ever made. I made two significant changes: first, I seasoned with some house seasoned salt (4 parts salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part garlic powder); second, I instead of plain soy sauce, I made a very basic tare sauce:

Quote:

1 c. soy sauce
1 c. mirin
1/2 c. sake
1/2 c. brown sugar
2T sherry vinegar

Boil for 5 minutes and cool.
Using that sauce made the biggest difference. It was damn tasty.

Hey DJ.... slightly off topic, but have you ever tried putting a baking stone directly on your grill for pizzas? I've got the Kettle, and it makes great pizza, but wondering if I could get similar results by putting the stone on my gas grill (on full blast, I can get it over 600F).

They usually max out around 400, I think.

I didn’t have much ingredients on hand. I went with 2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, 4 Tbs brown sugar, 1 tsp corn starch, and some water. It wasn’t a blow your mind delicious sauce but it was better than nothing. I have two little girls who are extremely picky.

Had my buddy and his family over for dinner Saturday night. He bought one on Amazon this morning.

FMB did you scrub your griddle with hot water and soap?

Fire Me Boy! 08-06-2018 07:56 PM

Just water until the towel is mostly clean. Then season.

Right on, just watched his video. Wasn’t sure if that was necessary.

Gonna try some German potatoes and onions this weekend, along with some dry aged ribeyes I have on hand (the steaks will go on the grill).

Looks like he's starting with a new griddle, right? No, I didn't soap and water it, I just started seasoning. Maybe I should have! :LOL:

Also looked like he used enough oil for four griddles! WAAAAY too much oil.

My cover came in yesterday and I put a milk jug under it. We got some good rain this morning and it worked perfect. Thanks FMB.

I learned the hard way. I just built a hard cover this weekend with some plywood and 2x2 furring strips. It's not pretty, but it's functional, and $20 in product was a lot better than $100-$150 I was seeing online for the metal ones built for it.

Count me in.
