Steak fries on the LBGE - lightly coated with vegetable oil and dusted with Dr. BBQ Eastern BBQ rub, then cooked indirect at 400 degrees until "dry":

Fries look great!
Question: It looks like you're using the plate setter AND you've got the fries in a pan. Is that necessary? Is one indirect enough...say EITHER the platesetter OR the pan. Maybe you're just using the pan so you dont lose fries through the grill? I'm a fan of crispier fries and I'd like to try this out. -
Love thoes macro shots, makes me want to lick the screen.

They sure do look great and remind me of a recipe that I have used from Cooks Illustrated under Oven Fies.If those guys are crispy and a soft center you might have put down the CI recipe.It seems to be a lot faster and easier to get to the end result.

Those look really really good.

I stole the idea from "oven fries" and other "fried" food that gets cooked in the oven. Using the pan and a light coating of oil actually lets the fries "fry" in the Egg. With the platesetter, I get the convection oven going, so the bottom of the pan is not subjected to the direct radiant heat from the coals. I cook them until they seem "dry", which this time turned out to be around 40 minutes I think. The longer the cook, the crispier they get! I turned them every 10 minutes with a spatula.
I have done potatoes direct before and that works out fine too. I use a "grill wok" on the porcelain grid:

These crisped up nicely on the outside and they were very soft inside too. -

I'd like to try some of these. Delicious!

I usually microwave potatoes with jackets on until they are partially cooked, slice them thinly, put on some olive oil, and cook direct on one of those perforated grill pans to keep them from dropping into the fire. You get a nice crusty exterior and soft interior. Much better than trying to cook them from the raw state.
