New Halo Elite 3B--converted to LNG *cook update*

[Charlene G]

My Birthday Gift was a new Halo Griddle...Hubby converted it to LNG for me (hate running to refill propane) All Videos and forums saying griddle runs at 500 deg Plus. Wow..chow could burn quickly at that rate. Seasoned the griddle as per instructions, fired up and warmed up on low, after 10 min only at 325 deg. Hmmm, turn up to medium and close the lid. 10 min later griddle at 425 deg across the board. Ok ready to cook something. Tossed on some thin bone in piggy pops and added green pepper and mushrooms on the side. Everything cooked very well. no where near as hot as what has been reported with the grill lid up. So far so good...will update on further cook testing. I am guessing that the LNG runs cooler than the faster running propane,

It finally stops raining here...time to take this for another test drive.

Warm up, lid down...in 10 minutes at medium only 300 deg. up to high for 5 min-now grill at 400-425 deg

Add wings-heavy skin side down (dried prior and a brine in kosher salt ). Note: put that flats on 5-6 min after the drums as they cook faster-- that was an error not doing that, duh.

cooked lid up until almost done. Put lid down and finish to 165 deg internal temp

brush with buffalo sauce--another mistake. Wings should have been to the heavy skin side down and temp turned up, then sauced on one side to stay crisp

Toss in bowl to mix and serve.

Wings very juicy, griddle did its job-locked in the goodness.

Once I get my blackstone up and running, I turn that thing almost all the way down. It stays plenty hot enough to cook anything you need.
Be sure to post up some pictures of that new cooker...
