Nice 20oz. Rib-eye!  Griddle at 530°.  12 minute cook with 3 minute turns. Rested starting at 123° IT.  Pretty good eats!

 Looks good too....   Love those Lodge grill/griddles, fine piece of cookware.

  Took a second look.  Pic #3 resembles a snake curled up ready to strike.  Is old age taking a toll on me?

I tried to do a ribeye in a cast iron skillet in the house once.  It set off all of the smoke alarms.  Did yours's smoke any?

Looks like a Toucan to me....   

Toucan or snake, I would eat that. Make me  want to go to the butcher shop and have one cut.

Never again.  I now use the cast iron on the gasser outside.

at first glance i didn't note the countertop, great question .

It looks like Michigan to me, so I am no help!

A little smoke, but our "hood" is the thing behind the griddle in picture 1.

We have a pop-up vent and if he cooks right next to it all the smoke goes into it.  Can't talk in the kitchen when in use because it sound like a jet engine.
