ScottyC13 Not sure if you saw the below. That and jfmorris 's set up should cover everything you need to know.

Congrats on the new rig!

Do I need to do a burn in for the new grill before cooking? I've cleaned the SnS and grates with Dawn. I'm having my son over for his birthday will be doing steaks.

Nevermind, I found the answer at Weber.

[jfmorris]

And the answer was?

[ScottyC13]

Yes for 20 minutes per Weber.

Pics from my first cook. My son came over for his birthday and I cooked 2 ribeye steaks. They were only a little over 1" thick, so I did hot and fast. Just dry brined them for 2.5 hours, then a little olive oil and pepper.



The propane charcoal start was awesome. It was lightly sprinkling out, but then stopped.



Give her all you've got Scotty! I used the cold grate technique, which worked like a charm.



I neglected to take a shot of the finished steaks in their full form. But I took them off at 125 and they came out perfectly med-rare. Served with roasted baby Yukons and broccoli with a butter/parmesan crumble.

Nice looking cook - way to break the new toy in!!!

Glad you got your first cook in with the new toy!

Something to be aware of if you use it a lot, and get tired of buying those 1 pound camping propane cylinders for the Performer - you can use a hose like this to connect your Performer to a standard 20# propane tank - that's what I use all the time, as I already had a spare propane tank or two.
