First steak off the MiniMax

Ribeye cap. My wife and I like to unroll the pinwheels, so you get more crust.  The best method I found is to unroll and let it sit out for about an hour to let it get to room temp, then put over a really hot fire.  Seasoned with S&P and a light dash of cow lick.  

So let's get to it why you clicked this thread:

While it was sitting...


We we had a salad:


Then I cooked the meat on the MM:




Then ate it:


Delicious to the last bite:


I am totally loving this MM. I have not fired up the large since I first used it. I think this is the fifth or sixth straight cook on it.

    Yes, that is indeed a steak and yes, I do believe that is a MM. Whether it is the first steak off of your MM, I'll just have to take your word for it, but it does look good.

    Nope I am already a big fan of it and am sold on it.  No more growing needed. I was hesitant I would use it much because it is so small, but the pros of it really do make it shine.  I love the little bugger.

    After looking at your pictures I only have this to say.

    The steaks look awesome. But I think you have one too many gaskets on the MM.

    I thought the BGE made us better cooks, and they do, the MM is amazing to me. I am very happy with mine!
    Your meals look awesome as always. 5 stars!

    Yes, @Toxarch I know I should not have on both.  It was/ is an experiment for others. People have said they think new gaskets are better than the old.  I figured I would keep on the top to see if it holds up and for how long. With the MM the lid is so much lighter. If I have to take it off, it will be easy to. What the heck... Nothing to lose.

    I have the same gasket set-up, works well for me also, great seal, no deterioration of the original top and of course RRP's is good to go on the bottom.

    Not bustin on ya but, noticed you have a Rutland & the OEM gasket on the dome. Any particular reason you left the dome gasket on? 

    Oops. Disregard. I hadn't read the above dialog. Carry on.

    Great post, and I was thinking about our MM last night. I am learning, but my theory is that the smaller MM with the closer firebox and closer ceramic makes for a better steak (higher temps/shorter cook time). So far they taste better off the smaller cooker for some reason.
