Who said Grill Grates control flame ups ?

This was my first time to use the Cattleman's Mexicano. I was disappointed. I'll probably give it another shot but use another rub with it. I might start with a light dusting of an SPG or Tuffy Stone's Umami.

I do this flanken cut rib cook a lot. My favorite seasoning is Kosmos Cow Cover, followed closely by Meat Church's De La Fajita, and then Malcom Reeds Gringo Grande.

Those look awesome Okie! I too love trying different rubs. So many rubs and so little time......

Now I want some grill grates for my kettle - That's considered enabling on your part.

Was my order for an even dozen received or do I need to try again. Wow that looks incredible.

The Grill Grates usually do control flame ups. I really like them on this cook because the flanken ribs can be very fatty and they're thin. Flame ups can scorch them badly. Without the Grill Grates flame ups can be bad. This time, it was at the end of the cook, I'm guessing grease built up in the " valleys " of the grates.

I've measured with an IR gun and they get well over 700* . I've also found it necessary to give them at least 5 minutes to heat up.

They're good for grill marks, but that's not a biggie for me. Can produce a pretty ribeye, however.
