belching steam

stike

...thought I'd toss this out to the crowd.[p]But just as I've learned to burp the egg to avoid flashback, I reminded myself last night that I need to do the same when grilling veggies.[p]Had the whole grill area covered with planked potatos (usually do yams, but only had some idahos). Anyway, on opening the lid, I got a batch of hot steam wafted up and out acoss my arm.[p]made me think of even investigating off-setting the handle, since we do veggies often.[p]
As an aside, and maybe even a tip, I did the veggies as the egg was in it's downward Trex-ing spiral from a nuclear sear to a dome temp of about 400.[p]Took the steaks off (done searing at 800), slammed my vents to make for periscope depth, and threw on the potatos.[p]took a while to come down to 400 (the veggies acted as a heat sink, too!), hovering at 500 or so mostly, but when it was at 400, the things were done, and I tossed the steaks on for a cupple more minutes.[p]perfect timing
