Christened The Weber Kettle tonight. Wife had picked up some NY strips and chicken. So first cook was strips and grilled some potatoes. Think I could have used some more coals. Didn't get above 400-450 with it . Didn't get great grill marks. I tossed some pecan pieces in and got a lil flame to sear them. They tasted great and all the family had no issue. Looking forward to getting to know this thing.
