Gas grills are easy maintenance if you have stainless grates and heat deflectors. The cast iron or enamel coated grates you have to baby and will rust if you dont use it often. But you will get better grill marks with the cast iron for sure. The issue is you burn off your seasoning bc of the high grill temps. To protect I usually leave them dirty after the cook then scrape whilst pre-heating for next cook. But if you leave them for weeks youre gonna get rust.

Depending on the cut, I'm reverse searing or simply cooking in a cast iron pan with some avocado oil. A 2" thick ribeye is definitely getting reverse seared. If I want grill marks, I'll go to Applebee's and order whatever premade select cut they have. |

I love all the details and attention we'll put into cooking meat on a bbq, and everything else will get a best effort..or maybe it will just fix itself.

ok got as far as assembling this thing
actually seems built pretty decently
gonna do the season burn today
i wanna use it in my walkout screened in deck room (at least during the winter)...its got a wood planked vaulted ceiling with a skylight... shouldn't be a problem, correct? the instruction manual talks about proper placement like this thing is gonna give off nuclear meltdown heat. gtfo
i got a bigass directional fan up on the wall in the corner of the ceiling for any smoke, should be ok right? how much external heat could this fucking thing kick off
keep in mind the instructions say shit like don't eat the packaging, don't place children in the unit, etc
seems dum

But normies like their grill marks and they are usually buying .75" thick steaks from the grocery store. And outside of people Ive met online I know maybe 2 others IRL that can properly care for a cast iron skillet. Maybe its an American thing. |

Just in case something leaks or drips. I do not want to stain my deck or patio. I have never used the screened-in deck. I smoke at about 225, in most cases. So I do not see anything melting if I did though. |

One of the benefits of electric smokers is you arent using coal or burning sticks which depending on what online purist snobs you talk to might be considered a detriment. In your case it is probably ideal given the ceiling. |

You’ll be fine with your smoker on a screened in porch. Buddy of mine has been doing the same thing for years, smokes and grills all year long.

The distance they say to keep it from your house is for liability purposes. My smoker is maybe three feet from my house and I point the back of it at my neighbor's house because she's annoying. |
