An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I got this blackstone out the trash last week. Cleaned her up and I’ve been making some good stuff.

Got a nice even golden brown sear on that chicken

My son asked me why people grill instead of using the stove, and I had no real answer for him. Can someone help?

Space and heat.

It's hard to cook 10 burgers on a stovetop, especially without anywhere for the grease to go. You can cook 3 patties max before it's being boiled in grease on a pan.

It's hard for typical cookware to get to and maintain 500f like this griddle can. Only way to get perfect sealed sears on meats is high heats.

Because fire is the Devil's only friend.

Man has been squatting in the dirt and burning food for millennia. We are just too civilized to squat anymore. Besides, it tastes good.

Not just fire, outside fire. This is also why hardcore charcoal fans look down on propane: it’s too much like a stove

You also tend to cook differently: more sear, Maybe pick up some flavors from smoke! And it’s nice that any smoke is outside. Actually I’ve lately been doing more “baking” on the grill, most recently a pan of Mac and cheese.

Nothing is more rewarding than using a proper dutch oven and coals to bake bread or cobbler. It tastes so much better.

These are chicken titties right?

Looks like you chopped it on the grill without letting it rest after it was done cooking.

No rest = no juice

I think you are right, that was a dumb idea

Hell of a find
