Had an awesome day today hangin out with family and cooking up some surf and turf. Consisted of clams and oysters for appetizers steamed under a soaked gunny sack on the Blackstone griddle. Cleaned and soaked the clams and oysters in old bay and lemons. Fired the griddle up on high and once it got hot tossed them on the griddle and then covered with the wet gunny sack. Steamed for about 15 minutes and the appetizers were done

Now time for the steaks and the boil. Two T bones and four New York’s cooked on the Weber to about 120 and then transferred to the cast iron for sear and bitter bath.

Bring to boil and after about 10 minutes of boiling add sausage, 5 more minutes add mushrooms. Another 5 minute add corn and about 5 minutes later add seafood. As soon as the shrimp were pink pulled strainer and let sit for about two minutes and then into the house to dump it all and dig in

Warren, it was truly a great day, thank you so much for the kind words
 
Glad it turned out good man! Everything looks great. You nailed it on the first time! Bet it won’t be your last though!

Love the gunny sack on the blackstone. Never thought of that and I am hoping to get a camp chef or blackstone griddle in the very near future

I literally just sent you a PM thanking for you thread in this cook. You were helping in California yesterday and you had no idea lol. The gunny on the Blackstone worked well. The one thing I would do different is warm the water for the gunny sack so it’s not a drastic temp change when the water hits the griddle. You could probably shave five minutes off your cook. I learned a couple other thing as well so message me when you get yours and I’ll share with you. Thanks again dude.
