Chipotle Flank Steak and Veggies On The @WeberGrills Go-Anywhere Using The @LittleGriddle Euro-Q Jr

@SistaFelicia brought over some marinated Flank Steak and Veggies and because the Weber Red Limited Edition Kettle was serving duty cooking a reverse sear roast we tossed this Little Griddle Euro-Q on top of the mighty Go-Anywhere.  Worked out great.  Looking forward to putting this little griddle into the rotation.

Weber Charcoal Go-Anywhere Lid Temp Test

Here are my unscientific findings on a reverse sear ribeye test.  The reason for the test is because I modified on of my Charcoal Weber Go-Anywhere grills with top lid vent knobs.  The knobs are rated up to 400 degrees.

Not having any idea how hot the lid would get I tested on a WGA that did no have the knobs installed, in case the lid got so hot it would ruin perfectly good knobs.

I left both bottom vents wide open, the top vent over the coals closed and the top vent on the opposite side wide open.

This is the grill I modified with the addition of the top vent knobs-

About a quarter of a chimney of coals and 12 coals on the charcoal grate will be the amount of coals we are using.

Lid temp before dumping the lit coals 82 degrees F

After dumping the coals, the temp of the lit coals registered 975 degrees F

Here’s the WGA set up for the reverse sear.

Four minutes with lid closed 387 degrees F

Fifteen minutes with lid closed 469 degrees F lid temp.  $451 degrees grill grate temp.

Finit.  (No whale butter dishes were harmed during testing)

I think that if I use a washer between the knob which has a metal threaded insert and the vent tab that it will work out fine.  I plan to test tomorrow with the modded unit.

Here’s a link to purchase the knobs on Amazon-
