    ys640 grill grates

    I'm really thinking of ordering the ys640 and was curious how well it grills without the grill grates. I'm just trying to save money on unnecessary upgrades. If there's anything else anyone recommends for upgrades I'd love to hear it or anything else that's unnecessary. Thanks.

    pork burger seasoning

    I love ground pork burger patties we get from the meat lockers here in iowa and would like to try making my own, I've spent what seems like hours looking for seasonings or receipts but none seem close. Would porketta seasoning be it? Or does anyone know any ideas or a good place to start? Thanks.
