Side Burner

Mike LangGrilling

Slight rant. I love the 650, but why does every grill with a side burner have to have two settings: high and really, really high? My old Broilmaster was just as much to blame. There is no simmer setting unless you count gating down the valve on your natural gas line...which is exactly what I have to do. Fortunately, tonight I was only using the side burner to make chili. Gating the valve down with the actually grill running obviously wouldn't work. Not everyone with a grill plans on using the side burner to nuke canned baked beans from "Zero to Done "in 60 seconds. Some of us actually want as much heat control on the side burner as we do on the grill. Rant off.
