acidbasement 2,332 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 BBQ'd a couple of striploins last night. Pretty tasty! I think I might prefer Angus to Jersey in terms of flavour, but more science is needed to say for sure. It was really tender, that's for sure. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopstretch 13,848 Report post Posted November 2, 2018 Wagyu top sirloin. This is thin and tender enough to just blitz under the broiler, as I'm out of pellets for the grill. Bad planning. Marinated in parsley, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, pepper. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VPI 7,690 Report post Posted March 31 Starting to shop for the grill for the new house. The deck has a built in Natural Gas Feed for heaters, grills that can burn it etc. but I am thinking I might try to go with an all in one unit like a Memphis Elite and just fire heaters on the Natural Gas as I do not think it will be great for grilling. Anyone here have experience with Memphis or a recommended alternate, or experience using natural gas for grilling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aimless1 871 Report post Posted March 31 Stretch has the Elite. I have the Advantage. Like all pellet poppers the Memphis is great for low & slow cooking and for smoking. Not so great at grilling. The flame insert helps, but the other night when I made a steak it was put on at 225 to smoke it, wrapped in foil while the the Memphis heated to maximum temp, swapped in the flame insert and finished the steak. If you have time the Memphis can work for grilling, but there are better options. Another alternative is to have the Elite with natural gas grill.

Voltron 19,046 Report post Posted March 31 My brother loves his grill with natural gas feed. Never runs out of fuel, gets very hot, and doesn't seem much different from propane to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VPI 7,690 Report post Posted March 31 Thanks for the inputs gents. I am trying to configure a deck with a wood burning pizza oven, and the grill or grill and smoker. Was hoping I might get an elite and handle them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augsburger 5,027 Report post Posted March 31 I BBQ with a Viking natural gas grill with a smoker and rotiserie additions. Very convenient and meets all our cooking needs from slow 12 hour smoking and can accomodate a eighteen pound turkey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopstretch 13,848 Report post Posted March 31 (edited) Jeff you can absolutely grill on the Memphis but the usable cooking area in this mode is small (just the 9" x 9" or so right over the firebox) so it's not great for entertaining. It's a fantastic smoker and a decent grill to cook yourself a steak a day completely fuss free, but if I had to do it again I'd probably tend towards what Greg suggests.
