Properly tuned Heater.

Yes, a good glow on the front, but no flames licking out. Do you set the pump with a pressure gauge, or just by glow? I would guess that's about 6 psi?

Just by glow, I had a picture found at the internet that shows a good combustion.
From the manufacturers manual.

Stupid question time. Would the application of bedliner material keep this from happening again ?. At least on the outside of the pan.

Some of the highway departments around here have done this on plow trucks. I think the thought was that rust was starting when rocks were flying up from the plow and dinging the pan. Not sure how effective it was. Most I think have gone to using the snodepot pans. The ones that I have put on have been good quality.

So a couple of Saturdays ago, I posted that among everything else that was broke, our microwave died.

Well I'm getting used to the convection part of this new unit. Check this out. must be a pretty good unit if even I can make an incredible steak in it.

 

[Ozymandias]

Thats looking good!!

Yea, I know. But it was darn good and certainly warmer than firing up the grill when it's 33 out.

Yea, it's just a matter of getting used to these new options. They certainly are convenient.

You've got a nice grill setup there. I'm still old fashioned and cook with charcoal. We have a large Weber grill out back and small portable one we take camping with us.

Go to almost any top rated steak house. Seared on a grill and finished in an oven.

Thanks! It's my winter set up - our wedding present from my mother. Still going strong. Summers it's open fire grilling, a mixture of my oldest finely split firewood and charcoal.
Nothing like cooking over an open fire!

Probably a good thing I don't eat out

Steak in a oven, but a broiler. On cast iron.
Give that a shot.

We have a fancy Kitchen Aid convection microwave from long ago- still kicking. It has a grill feature too but we haven’t used that in a dog’s age. I recall folks cooking huge birds and things like that in these fancy micros back when they were the rage.

We get them from the slaughter house down the road. Burger are Holstein beef from the family farm What we can't get from there we supplement our freezer with goods from Cherry Valley Slaughter house. Chicken, pork, beef, you name it they have it. All local raised animals.
