Is it practical to add a little sauce to the meat for grilling ?

The other reviewers have it right. I think you just have to experiment to see what works for you!

Yes, you can add some sauce to the meat and it will keep the meat moist too.

I have added some liquid once in a while it works fine but no grill marks appear when it's moist.

Only add water if you want to "smoke" cook your food. I usually dont use water to grill at all.

Yes you can. I do it all the time with burgers packed with fresh veggies, then remove it from the bag and grill a few min. You do need to buy the good bags not the thin cheap ones.

not very well. The heat source is too far from the grate to get any kind of sear. If you were just slow cooking something, you could but I wouldn't do burgers or hot dogs on it.

Oh yes :) I simmer sauces and soups just make sure that the sides are up so the wind doesn't blow the flame out :) Hope this helps :)

Yes. You can get free recipes on the internet for rubs and sauces/marinades. This works great and holds a good steady temperature since you don't have to open the door to add wood chips while smoking. If you buy this, do NOT skip the break-in step, it seasons the unit for use and you only need do it once. We love ours and use it every week. Also, use a 55 gal contractor size trash bag to cover the unit when not in use they are cheaper than the factory-sold cover and last longer.

Yes, you can. I cook spaghetti sauce all day using the mat. I cook the meat on a higher temp. and when I am ready to let it simmer, I put the mat on the burner and turn the burner to its lowest temperature. I only stir it a couple of times during the day. The mat prevents it from burning onto the bottom of the pot.

Sure, just don't put as much hamburger meat in it. You would just have a thinner layer of "stuffing", which may limit what you stuff them with.

The kit that you are looking at will do. just remember that your whole grill will not be covered. That is okay, as long as large enough for your food. The open areas can still be used as normal for other items too. Preheat and go, I like it for meat.

You could brush some BBQ sauce onto the meat, but it wouldn't be the same as cooking meat immersed in BBQ sauce.

Yes, put them in the middle of the steak (from the side, push all the way in) and cook them until they are at the right temp. I usually grill them until the needle starts to move and then flip the steak until it reaches med. (They turn out perfict every time).

I haven't tried it, but it would probably work quite well, since both those sauces are generally done with a double-boiler-type setup. Both of these sauces require a moderate heat to keep them from "breaking".

Yes you can. :) It adds a little more flavor to your food. We cook with it the majority of the time and have for the past 10 years. Enjoy!

it would be ok but do not use a lot or marinate for a long time - the meat will become mushy

Yes you can stick it in the meat to see if it has reached proper temperature. I would not leave it in the meat.

Maybe a very tiny bit, am sure the chicken does not need it, but the steak maybe could use some in the marinade, this is a very powerful meat tenderizer, if you use too much or marinade too long, the meat will turn to mush.

they recommend bacon drippings.. i got a tip to use a cup of bacon drippings and 1/4 cup of peanut or veg. oil.. you just paint everything inside the grill with it.. even the outside (wipe off excess)..
