    I buy everything based on reviews. Some said this was hard to put together ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt some guy said 2 hours and 2 beers later. I didn't drink beer like I was going to. I didn't feel like going to the store. I'm assuming I would have had at least 3. I took my time. Stepped outside for a cigarette break a couple times but all in all it was about a 3 hour project for me but it wasn't like it was difficult or anything . Only pictures but everything is pretty organized and labeled although I didn't see any #s on the actual pieces like it shows in the diagrams. Only the screws were labeled. On the cardboard part of the packaging on the back side. I put it together in my living room too. It wasn't supposed to rain today but it's Michigan and I couldn't wait so I put it together in my living room. Without beer but beer would definitely have made it more fun that's for sure. I'm giving this a 5 for easy assembly. I'll update after it stops raining when I can take it out of my living room and cook some food on it. Hope this helps at least for people who think they can't put this together because I did and you can too . And there are extra screws. I got nervous and immediately came here to see if others had the same experience and they have. You're not doing it wrong. There will be extra screws. Be patient. Don't rush it. Drink beer. Happy assembling

      Not sure if you coming from a Weber gas or charcoal, but you will not have an issue learning. It is more like a gas grill with great temperature control and acts like mostly indirect, but can get the temps up pretty nice. Good luck! Cheers!

    Love doing the reverse sear on good steaks. I dry brine them for about 6 hours then just as you did, then 250 on my RT-700 until about 120, then on my Weber (already hot) to desired doneness. The flavor is always amazing

    • @beers-jackofbbq
      @beers-jackofbbq  3 роки тому

      That is a great Christmas gift! My 590 came with 2 temp probes and those work well. For an instant read it can depend on the budget, but I use the ChefsTemp X10, I will put the link at the end of this. That is around $70. If looking for a more economic, the others I use are Thermopro, they have some for $20 and $30. But the instant read is a must for me. I use all of the other to get me close and then I verify with the instant read. I also have the small extended racks from Rec Tec, I have 2 of them. That works when doing about 10 lbs of chicken. You are limited because the height of them, but can be helpful when doing a large amount. You saw the Grill Grates and those worked nice for searing. If you have any other questions, just let me know, I am no expert, but I like good food and tools that make grilling easier! Here are the links for both instant reads, you don’t have to get these brand, but they are what I use and like. shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1836663&u=2812985&m=111859&urllink=&afftrack= buythermopro.com/?rfsn=5780813.7984b9 Cheers!

    How long did it take to get up to searing temp? I'm debating on either this or the Pit Boss Pro Series Black Triple Function. What would your opinion be for either of those? I like the ability of a gas grill to cook quick when in need.

    • @beers-jackofbbq
      @beers-jackofbbq  2 роки тому

      If I remember correctly it only took around 10 to 15 min to get to searing temps, but I did turn up the grill on the last flip when warming up the steaks to get a head start. Not sure if the triple function include a searing spot with flame, but I think that is a great option. The 590 is a great grill and I did get a very nice sear, it is not my go to grill for steaks as I have other options. We like to show how to cook different cuts on all grills. So hard for me to give a comparison for you, not familiar with the Pit Boss. I still have a gas grill, but it only gets used for extra cooking space when needed and I do corn on the cob and clams on that one. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Mine did have 3 panels as well. I usually only have needed 2 of them at a time, but always good to have the 3rd one. Plus, Jack cut the corners on the one panel to fit the kettles and work better in the Kamado Joe. I have not done smash burgers on these yet, but I have seen others do it. I usually only use the flat, I am not a grill marks person and like the overall sear better. I hope that helps and please let me know if you have any other questions? Cheers!

      It is not the ideal way to sear steaks if you have other options, but if it is your only option it turned out really good! You wont get the crust you can with other grills. Yes, the Weber is around 22 years old and I still use it for some vegetables and when I cook something in a pan, but still going strong. Replaced the insides twice! Cheers!

    How long do you let a steak rest? And does it stay hot?

    • @beers-jackofbbq
      @beers-jackofbbq  3 роки тому

      We usually let this size steak rest 10 to 15 minutes. I usually put them in a pan and I cover them while they are resting. The one thing to be careful of is the temp that you pull them because they can rise 5 to 10 degrees while they rest. They will still be decently hot/warm when you eat them. The resting is important to maintain some of the juices in the steak. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! Cheers!

      Thanks for watching! I do use foil on my grease tray and just changed it before this cook, that fire was just from the drippings of these steaks. I do like to sear at higher temps, especially on the pellet grill since this one only goes up to 550. I have had other grills to high for searing and learned I like around 550 to 600 degrees for the sear. Appreciate the comment your perspective for sure! Cheers!
