    I push all of my coals over to one side of the grill so I can sear and then effectively bake whatever I'm grilling. Start hot and then move it all the way away from the coals. Both with the cover on.
    It was a tiny grill, a travel grill I took to the drive-in theater. If I end up getting a full-size grill, zoning like you said is what I'd do. My brother does the same thing, for the record. Oh, just thinking about that, he makes great bacon wrapped jalepenos on them.

      As soon as I read your Vali Hi post in the other thread I realized that post became useless.

      Just too lazy to come fix it.

        Protip - even in the nicest lemon/caper/tomato/onion sauce in the world, will never cover-up the fact that the fish you're serving it with has been in your freezer for about six months. Thankfully, I was smart enough not to serve it to anyone but myself.

        In the words of Gordon Ramsay, "Dreadful". Shame on me.

            It wasn't rotten (it had been frozen) - it didn't smell old when I pulled it out after defrosting it. It was just a bit freezer burned, and tasted "not fresh".

            Like I said, I should've known better. Need to use up my freezer stores much faster, especially when it's fish.

              I've been going through all my cookbooks and updating Eat Your Books with the recipes I marked so I can search them online.

              Final analysis:
              I buy way too many cookbooks.
              It's interesting to read through what recipes I marked 15 years ago, vs. what I would mark now, since my cooking skills have changed drastically.
              Often the only way I remember that I've made a recipe is because the page is dirty.

              And I just bought Christoph Felder's 770 page book on Patisserie.

                I try not to buy cookbooks, since literally any recipe can be found online now. However, I couldn't resist buying Bourdain's cookbook last year, in hardcover.

                Still haven't made a single recipe in it. Sure does look nice sitting on my coffee table though.

                  I have a couple DASH cookbooks, as well as my grandmother's Betty Crocker cookbook from 1951.

                    Sometimes I get cookbooks from the library before I buy them, so I can see how many recipes I'd actually use. If I only find 1 or 2 recipes I like, I look for them online instead of buying the whole book... there are a lot that aren't available online.

                    And sometimes there are cookbooks where I like LOTS of the recipes, so obviously I am required to buy those.

                        A puzzle - I have the following items I need to use up: almonds, pecans, pine nuts, raisins, crystallized ginger bits, caramel chips, peanut butter chips, "salted caramel crunch", caramelized cacao nibs.

                        So far I have cookies with the nibs, caramel crunch and PB chips. Will probably just use the pine nuts in a crapload of pesto, since I have a lot of basil right now. Debating the merits of ginger + raisins. Not sure I like that combination (although, I am generally anti-raisin in baked goods anyway).

                            I tried my hand at making homemade spaghetti sauce last night, starting only with actual tomatoes and no pastes or sauces from a can. Two things to remember going forward:

                            1) I need a stock pot with a lid that fits, to help control the loss of moisture.
                            2) Turn down the heat after browning the Italian sausage.

                            I've yet to taste it, but I think I have some sort of Italian chili on my hands at this point. My girlfriend sent me a link to fix that issue, which I'll have to review when I get home from work. Hopefully, I've not gone beyond the point of no recovery.

                                I bought one on Amazon earlier today. Its lid has a venting hole that can be opened or sealed, depending upon need.
