Curious, what kind of cookware do you use?

Cast iron. I still have plans to improve my setup, but I have a large single burner with a 16" pan on it sitting down inside of a grill shell under a covered area outside & I just cook out there year round now. The only days that suck are really windy days that can blow out the flame. But those are fairly rare & winters here are mild enough that it's tolerable.

I need some PPE or something though, I regularly burn myself with spattering grease. Cooked some bacon today to go with my steaks & got my hand pretty good 😑

But the sear & the flavor & lack of cleanup (aside from wiping down the grill) can't be beat.

Try a mesh spatter screen like this:

I have a couple, it definitely helps reduce the spatter on everything else, but most of the damage to me is done when I go in to flip stuff. Bacon is particularly bad because there is a lot to flip & I have to work pretty quickly. The screens are mostly just another thing to clean & since I'm outside I mostly don't bother.

I can turn the flame up & down, & my goal is to build a replacement for the grill that gives me a lever to move the pan up & away from the heat with a single lever pull. That won't completely solve it either though because the pan still holds heat really well.

Nitrile gloves would probably be enough to prevent most of the burns. I already wear an apron. I should probably keep some safety glasses handy too though. Gonna be cooking like a mad scientist 😅

Lol, a good set of tongs sounds like a really good idea.

I'm probably retarded 😅
