Yeah. My wife runs it. Keeps my dad busy. Well, gets him up with a purpose. Everyone needs purpose. He has struggled since my mother passed a few yrs ago. It's fun

We get those. We call them friends.

I've always drooled over that Memphis grill after seeing it a few times on Raichlen's Project Smoke.

I like the ability to also be able to grill a steak with that grill.

Look forward to your impressions of it.

Gonna do a flat iron tomorrow and try out the searing which is normally the Achilles heal of the pellet cookers. It's a beauty. It's not for the thrifty though.

Lookin good Pete!

A pellet smoker is on my list for my next purchase.
I'm hoping to get a Cookshack FEC 120.
I do really like the looks of the Memphis grills as well. I really like the extra cooking space.

You can turn those ribs 90 degrees and do quite a few. There is also another shelf available between the cooking grid and the top warming shelf.

Looks good brother. I've had a few friends ask me about pellet grills.

We've seen an up tic in our Traeger sales the pst couple years. Added these high end Memphis to the store. Looking at a couple other lines too. 

They're not live fire cooking by any means, but they have there place and do produce a pretty darn good product. If this thing sears like advertised, it's a formidable cooker.

Threw on some more yardbird with various rubs and sauces. Followed it up with a seared FI. I have some learning curve with the sear plate, but it clearly works. I'm thinking in combo with some grill grates might be exceptional. We'll see. 

Seasoned a a set of grill grates on a kettle while messing around out there. These are for a traeger and Weber Summit. Same size. I will make up a set for the Memphis I think.

Here's the FI.

Pete - lots of yard bird there - are these make ahead meals for you two, or did you have some open house today at your store?

Heck, it's always open house. Chicken is cheap, but delicious!

Thanks for the kind words brother. I am humbly happy the basque in your enormous shadow. More than happy.

Great prototype cooks right there.  Looks like quite a substantial and versatile rig.  Always a plus when you have test run the equipment.
BTW- I just took a look at their site.  Way above my pay grade (and fortunately I am at my Q toy limit).  I will just enjoy the pics of your efforts.

Yeah. They are in the "gotta have that" category for sure. I'm enjoying cooking in it. Need to do a butt and brisket trial soon. Thanks for looking.

Oh, here's the grill grates seasoning with a random cut of meat
