Just bought this today, seasoned it and cooked a couple great steaks.  Still need to figure out the probe, didn't seem to be working.  Regardless, steaks came out great!  Only thing that could have made it better was an even better steak cut.  Great sear on the porcelain grate, I might look at an iron one if there is one but honestly it works just fine as is.  I've seen some of the other reviews, you have to remember this is a GRILL, not a smoker.  Still imparts a great flavor.  Can't wait to try the griddle!!
