It’s finally finished…for now.
A lot of sanding, some more pressure washing, a couple mistakes, and even a do-over or two (which caused more sanding and pressure washing…)
Fired it up and played with temperatures yesterday, then cooked burgers and hot dogs. They turned out fine.
I have a couple of beginner’s questions:
1). How high of temperatures can this handle? After cooking, I wanted to do a high-heat burn off. I opened the vents a little over halfway. Temps got to 650ish at grate level and were still climbing. I chickened out, closed the vents and shut it down.
2). Does anyone use a grate cleaner like the Grill Rescue brush on a ceramic grill? I have a cheap, generic one (to prove the benefits to SWMBO, to justify buying the original…) but worried that dripping air-temp (cool) water onto hot ceramic might be a bad idea.
Thanks for all the info. I don’t post a lot, mostly because I can find almost all the info I need in prior posts. You all are a huge, stress-removing (which is rare on the inter webs…) resource.
