Can I simultaneously cook meat or fish and vegetables

Unknown

We are considering the purchase of a large BGE. After watching your promotional video, I'm still wondering whether there's enough grilling space to cook one's vegetables together with meat or fish. Typically, we do miex, cut-up vegetables in a grill topper. Your response will be much appreciated.[p]

Ute Thomas,[p]Don't remember if it was in the video or not, but you can purchase a grill extender. It basically provides a second surface and really adds a lot of cooking space. The link is to the catalog with color photos (pdf format).

The Naked Whiz

Ute Thomas,
Probably not, but as has already been suggest, you can get a grid extender so that you have two cooking levels. If the veggies are on a grill topper, then they probably don't need to be exposed to direct heat, so they could go on the top. Another thing you could consider is wokking your veggies. I will take the meat off when it is done, heat the egg up to 500 degrees or so and preheat the wok, then wok the veggies for about 5-6 minutes. The meat can rest while you do the veggies or go into a warm oven to stay warm if you think appropriate. If you have the veggies ready to go, it doesn't take long to do. Otherwise, draw an 18" circle on a piece of newspaper, put your grill topper on it and see what you think. You may need to buy 2 large eggs! :-)[p]TNW

Wise One

Ute Thomas, I use a holey-wok to cook my vegetables in and it provides enough room to cook meat along side as long as I'm only cooking for 3 ot 4.
