Anybody seen this?   It is noted that different grasses change the flavor.

    I know a guy that did that several years ago but I have no clue how it turned out.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Have never seen that technique, but whenever I see Matchlight I run the other way.  I bought one bag shortly after it first hit the market (early mid 80's?) and used it once-the hangover taste of the charcoal lighter was evident for the cook duration.  Tossed the rest and have never looked back.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    A home made Lodge Camp DO on steroids! Wonder how the grass affects the cook, seeing as it appears to be covered with foil? Thanks for sharing.

    I'm guessing it seeps in where the foil is overlapping,but not sure.

    Matchlight.  Yeah, right.  Run.  Fast.  Turkey kooks nowhere near nice golden brown skin.  Too many internet 'chefs' think theirs is best.

    seems like a knockoff Orion convection cooker. Theyre pretty nice and cook food pretty quick.

    I'm thinking that "yard" bird would be incredible on Colorado's finest "sod" Sour D and Girl Scout Cookies.  :get_outta_here:
