MadMax:[p]Huh???[p]

MadMax,[p]You post without an e-mail - from Webtv and without ever registering here on this forum before. You refer to Mr Big (we have no idea what that is and I really am sure I don't want to know what it is). You post like my 17 yr old mumbles - we have no idea what you are talking about but let me say that if you boasting about another BBQ unit or invention - than I suggest you go to their forum and shout its glory all you want. There are some really good BBQ forums that would love your thread -- try going and posting (take your time and re-read your meassge) at the link below. [p]Thanks and visit often.[p]T

MadMax,[p]Sounds like a great invention for cooking SPAM!

MadMax, I've heard of these new grills. Seems like a great idea. One I heard of makes the best steaks ever and I burns newspaper only. I gotta get one of those. No large ash deposits, you can store it in a box in the trunk of your car, your fuel,, (the Sunday morning paper) is abundant and easy to store too. A 12 inch high stack will last a couple of years. And if you have a bird cage,, you're probably already stocking fuel without even knowing it. If they ever refine the toxins out of newspaper print ink,, I may get one of those. I wonder how they do with a 9 pound Boston Butt?

MadMax,
gee...thank you for your insignificant info. Hope things are swell and smokey beyond the thunderdome
-
MadMax, you made my day..!!
I think I saw that little critter on one of the outdoor camping specialties websites. But I tell ya what, if you have the time, and want to compare quality steaks, vs cookers, I will put the little mini up against that one anytime. Seems I saw some guy in Hawaii wadding up newspaper to burn in a cooker on the beach. Well, it beats gas anyway..!! Welcome to the cooking advantage show!!

Smokin' Todd, if we post any closer than this, people will think we are engaged. 31 seconds??

Smokin' Todd,[p]This thing exists...they even have a website. Food is too close to the heat though...reminds me of a teeny-weeny Ugh..gas grill. [p]Think I'll pass.

Tim M, I think you do Songdog and the rest of us an injustice. Last I looked that forum is interested in BBQ, not toxin-filled grilling. We welcome anyone who wants to talk about BBQ, especially ceramic related BBQ, though there are a few ironmongers there too. But enough, we all agree this mumbler is out of place.

So Sorry, This dosent replace my big egg,
I was just trying to share this grill with you all,
this grill burns wood not paper and it really works perfect
It works the same way John willinghams pellet fired Wham turbo cooker does,And if you Know anything about real Bar-B-Que and have been to memphis and in johns smoke house you would think he would know What to do,Many Overall worlds grand Bar-B-Q champion,100s first place,and since I bought this from Mike Simpson,(Quality Grills 1-800-880-8413)
Who hand builds all of Johns cookers(Now In stainless $7500)
You Might give me a break.
And Yes Tim M I may not type to your standards and I dont
post much I have bee reading this forum for over a year and the archives and great followups have answered my questions
This was just a way I tried to give back, So sorry
The web site for this grill is www.woodflame.com
Thanks Anyway
P.S. Tim M "Like Father Like Son" MADMAX

King-O-Coals,
The REAl toxn in newspaper you get from reading it.

MadMax,[p]Sorry for the rude welcome you received, but your post looked like bait that this forum has seen way too much of in the past. I would have mistaken your intentions, too, had I seen your message earlier. For the record, the mistakes were, (1) posting anonymously (or so it seemed, by the unfamiliar alias and no email address), and (2) saying some fancy contraption grills better than an Egg!!! Either one of those alone would have been fine (the second is questionable seeing that this site is run by BGE; you have to have a high status over here to get away with that), but combining both caused too much suspicion. I'm not blaming you, because you didn't know.[p]We Eggers overreact when our cooker is challenged? No way! Never! :-)[p]BTW, I visited the woodflame Web site, but it is slower than heck, and doesn't seem to work very well, so I may not have gotten everything from it. It seems to me that the 1000 degrees is simply the result of the steak or thermometer being right in the middle of the flames, not from the ambient temperature of the air inside of the cooker. As to whether the super-high temperature grilling alone beats the BGE's capability to "dwell" a steak after searing, you are more qualified to say than I.[p]Brant

MadMax,[p]Interesting web site, very detailed and professionally done. I have a HARD time comparing this to my egg. It's more along the lines of a George Foreman Grill (and I mean that with no ill will to either grilling device at all) but I have to admit that I was somewhat interested in it. I can't imagine owning one but I can see where it would have some use for some people. I'm skeptical as to the quality of the food that would come out of it. Interesting post, even though he/she received a new posterior when he/she first posted.[p]Troy
-
Brant,[p]Well put Brant - had I read your post prior to posting mine, I would not have wasted the bandwidth. Hopefully he will feel welcome back here as a result of this though.[p]Troy

Brant,[p] It is, indeed, an interesting website. I especially got a kick out of the implication, in the users manual, that burning the wood in the grill was better than leaving trees to rot in the forest -- had to think about that one for a minute :-). Also was interested in the way they depict how clean burning the fuel is. Nothing left but 5-10%, which is CO and CO2 -- last time I checked, those were gases at the temperatures and pressures normally found on the Earth's surface (maybe the tests were done on one of Jupiter's moons where the gases froze after being released ;-) ). Despite these scientific irregularities, the idea does have merit. I have no doubt that blasting air through the grill will raise the intensity of the fire (can you say, 'Bessemer', Sir Henry?), though I agree that the 1000F temp is probably due to being in contact with the flame -- especially since they recommend grilling with the lid open. That being said, I've found the same thing to be true with my large BGE. The thermometer only wraps around when the sucker is wide open, and sure enough, there are flames touching the end of the thermometer (which glows bright red!). Be careful to protect your eyebrows when trying to prove this one! If I was going camping and just had to have a portable grill capable of cooking filets, I might give this thing a whirl. However, I'm pretty darn happy with my small BGE. I'll take the versatility of my small any day of the week![p]MikeO[p]PS The Food section of the WashingtoPost had an article on searing steaks today. I quickly dropped everything to read it only to find the whole article was about pan searing on the stove! Eeek!

MadMax, like Brant said,, your post was like walking into a dark bar down South, and knocking a beer off a table and then shouting "who did that?" Everybody stands up for the fun. Most of these guys will let people get away with kicking their dogs, or talking bad about their mommas,, but when you talk about their eggs,,, you'd better take your hat off. Usually when "bait" hits the forum, it stirs a lot activity. There ain't nothing wrong with that. Usually after we kill the guy with replys,, we accept him/her into the cult. I did have someone tell me about the paper burning grill and they swore it was the best steak they ever tasted. And don't worry about your typing. It's just like mine late on Saturday evenings. If you have trouble typing, just offer a big YeeeeHaaaa everytime and they will think you've been in the marinade again.
