Okay, so as many of you know, I gifted Desideria with the Lodge
Sportsman's Grill--which is effectively a good-quality hibachi.

Steaks, burgers--those lend themselves to the high direct heat style
of cooking that's the primary methodology available with such a grill.
What else? Anyone got recipes, or know of good recipe sources? The
large majority of grilling recipes/information I'm finding is oriented
toward grills that'll do indirect. Not all, of course, but many--and
even a number of the 'grilling with direct heat' ideas assume a lid
so's to get heat all 'round the food.

I was, frankly, rather surprised at how little I found when I went
looking on the 'net. Any and all ideas & info is appreciated.

Hey Danny! Jun's only done direct. Steak, chops, shrimp, mussels, chiles,
that kinda stuff. Indirect goes in the smoker here. Not much help. SBD ;-(

Direct is what I want to know, man! shrimp, huh? (and someone I know
will like the idea of chiles...)

Steaks and chops (prolly work for ribs, too), real hot fire. Shrimp 'til
they're pink, mussels 'til they pop open, medium fire. Chiles, medium to
hot fire, turn 'em when they're done to your intended use. I think TFM®
wraps 'em in bacon. Might work for asparagus and other fruits and veggies,
too. And then there's chicken. We haven't done that yet. Eat your mistakes,
DennY!

Google "Satay" and let your fingers do the walkin'. There's tons of grillin'
ideas under that title. Way too much to list in a newsgroup post. Most of
the far east and middle east countries grill as a normal everyday food prep
procedure.

I've had one for a year and I love it but I can't help much with
recipes. I use it for high heat searing of steaks and burgers. I've
got a WSM for barbecue and a gas grill for chicken and sausages so I
can use the Lodge for what it's best at. Loaded with lump and going
full blast it produces an awesome sear on a steak.

Do you happen to have "The Barbeque Bible" by Steve Raichlen?
How about "How To Grill"?
Both have good information and recipes for grilling. Try the library or a
bookstore.

Aha! Guess which lovely lady is a major fan of Thai food?

I've had one for a year and I love it but I can't help much with
recipes. I use it for high heat searing of steaks and burgers. I've
got a WSM for barbecue and a gas grill for chicken and sausages so I
can use the Lodge for what it's best at. Loaded with lump and going
full blast it produces an awesome sear on a steak.

She's also got a Silver A, so that takes care of the indirect &
lower-heat stuff (like, say, sausages). I've got a bullet
smoker--gasser, which one day I'll replace either with an offset,
kamado-type ceramic, or WSM--in no particular order of preference,
save that I could burn actual wood in an offset.

We did some very good 1 1/2" or 2" New Yorks for the Lodge's maiden
voyage, and we were very impressed. She did burgers last night and
loved 'em.

Well, I personally have only two 'outdoor' cooking books--and neither
is much about grilling. _Smoke and Spice_, and _Sublime Smoke_.

I think Beautiful has the Raichlen book (I know she has one of his)
and at least one more grilling book--but they seem to be heavily
oriented toward gas grills and charcoal grills with lids.

Thanks, Brick! I've found some very interesting links that started
with the Satay search.

Actually, I don't have any Raichlen books, dear. I've looked over his
website but don't own any of his stuff yet. Good suggestion, BOB!
