@KlausVanWinkle That's commitment. Alone at 10pm I'd probably just eat a stick of butter and a bottle of brown liquor. But I have been known to wake up early and grill for breakfast what should have been my dinner.

Haha. My wife has been travelling to Dallas multiple times a week for work. So I've been fending for myself, while also fending for my job. My main client at work is leaving. So I've been working longer hours to try to get onto other accounts. And I know I'm not going to get any more work done once I eat dinner Actually got some work done last night while waiting for the grill to heat up to make round two of this meal.
Not the best plating but you get the idea. Ribeyes seared on the grate, rested, then researed in a cast iron pan with butter until 128F IT. Smashed, roasted potatoes with thyme and butter, olive oil and balsamic dressed greens with goat cheese.
@spressomon, I just got my baking steel. Have any suggestions for what to make on it first? I'm going to a dinner party tonight and wanted to use it to make something other than pizza.
Sorry Adam, somehow I missed this. Smash burgers are one of my favorite non-pizza things to cook on the griddle over a hot lump fire.
Have you baked Neapolitan style pizzas on your Baking Steel yet?
So you have have a reflector below your baking steel when doing pizzas? I prefer to get the dome heat soaked (actually the entire vessel + grates + baking steel/stone) and get the baking steel positioned as high/far away from the heat source as practical with nothing between the fire and the baking steel.
Or it may be more beneficial, depending upon the mass of your ceramic reflector compared to dome and heat radiation effect of both, to use the ceramic reflector positioned above your pie to allow top down browning instead of purely relying upon the dome for this job.
But at least you're on the right path now.
Adam, just out of curiosity since I've never seen a Primo: In your post #727 I see the flames, presumably from lump not gas right(?), rising above your grate/stone/steel surface. The fire box must be closer to your grate than on my KK. I see why you need to use heat diffuser(s) between the firebox and grate. Even with getting the rack raised so it can take better take advantage of the radiant heat effect of the dome you will, assuming the firebox is relatively close to the heat diffuser, still need to use the heat diffuser. Sorry I didn't notice this earlier.
^ I think I just gained 5 pounds looking at your post Adam!
