Lunch on the Lodge

[radshop]

Today I was working at home, and thought "Is there anything good around here for lunch?" After a quick check of the fridge, I lit the coals on the Lodge Sportsman's Grill and went back to assemble my ingredients. At that point, I realized I should document this event.

• 2 beef patties from Sonrise Ranch
• Rumiano's white cheddar slices
• Sliced bella mushrooms (sorry Nate )
• Frozen spinach with diced onions and crushed garlic

I should have used a little more charcoal to get a better sear on the beef, but it was still good. Added a side of homemade coleslaw, and the answer to my original question was, "Yes!"

Sorry if I'm overdoing it with posting everything I cook on the Lodge. But I surprised myself with how quickly I went from nothing to a respectable meal, instead of my usual bumbling half-assery.

Boom! That looks great!

Hey if you like it go for it. Looks good though.

Nice work, makes you appreciate a nice meal, especially when you eat out and it's marginal at best.

[radshop]

Yeah, right? Considering plan B was Chipotle, this was an upgrade in my book.

Have you tried burning lump in the SMG? Lump makes clean up a little easier, it also keeps the excess ash off the food if you are using the fire grate. Just a thought. I love that you are using it. I am going to do brats tomorrow, on mine. Thanks for the inspiration.

I used lump in it with a steak once but not with the griddle. This was Kingsford Professional which is supposed to burn hotter than KBB but was barely enough in this case.

[Spinaker]

I find that lump works the best in mine. I will burn KBB if I am out of lump. A handful of FOGO Lump is the SMG is a gorgeous sight! radshop
