From hot muggy summers to sub zero snowy winters. It has not been covered since it was brand new and the wind sent it dancing somewhere across the neighborhood. 😳  I wish it would die, so I can go and buy one of the new versions with all the bells and whistles. I love all the lighting on the new ones!  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it new about 15 years ago and now am on my second rebuild (new grates, top and bottom). Use it maybe once a month. It is true stainless; no rust or any problems  But of course they are no longer produced  Also have a Weber, which I NEVER use because it just does NOT even compare.  Looked at the big box stores, but all I see is cheap inferior stainless Chinese grills that will only last 2-3 years if you are lucky   Any thoughts?  (No problem spending $1000+.)  1 hour ago, wstrickland1 said: I don't see where I said that I have a problem.

wstrickland1 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 also as much as I like Emile, I have to say that the "top of the line" Ducane I had was crap. They build (or used to build) them right here in South Carolina. We all got great deals on them because of our close working relationship with Carrier's distributor who also was the Ducane Distributor. Not kidding it was junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubo Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 In the way of Application Specifications  How many people will the OP be cooking for and what will he be cooking ?  The fastest and most effective stainless grill that I have ever used was a simple electric broiler about the size of a small toaster oven with a thick glowing red heating element. Maybe it was chromed steel, the good old days.  It would sear and cook 4 burgers and steaks to perfection in minutes like 3 min per side. Tray had a long plastic handle for partial removal for flipping the meat.  If you had ever touched the outside it would be an experience you would never forget I'm guessing it operated well over 500 degrees F.  This is the basic idea, but this is overblown, just an overhead heat element, box and a tray. 1600F https://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Efficient-Portable-Vertical-Stainless/dp/B07YF98MMT/ref=sr_1_37?crid=AC79XM3T0QA4&dchild=1&keywords=electric+broiler&qid=1624637952&sprefix=electric+Broiler%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-37    1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops; hot dogs/sausages and burgers on the 4th of July   What is the combustion point for bacon ? Once the melting point for bacon fat is achieved Keep the garden hose handy.  BACON FOR ALL OCCASIONS I would sear the fillets (w bacon) in a pan with sunflower oil first cast iron for thermal mass then pop them in the grill around 400-450, 5min then 3min for med......  LTs, I wonder if these can also be pan seared first If cooked in shell split, open side up with bacon ?  Sub bacon for butter ? Quote  Step 2 Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, carefully cut top side of lobster shells lengthwise. Pull apart shells slightly, and season meat with equal amounts butter, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Step 3 Broil lobster tails until lightly browned and lobster meat is opaque, about 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges to serve. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/34638/broiled-lobster-tails/       Fat/Oil Smoke Point Neutral?
