Internal workings of a meco barbeque grill. It do not matter which model you choose because the mainly that is the difference in the exterior. All the insides are the same. What you have got that you are cooking on is porcelain coated steel cooking grills. A lot of folks like this because the porcelain coating is a just none stick type material and it helps to smaller keeping food from burning on to the grills that you might find on other barbeques that are out there on your market.
Underneath your cooking grills you have got your electric element. And pretty much the first thing that everybody says when they look at the internals of the meco grills is “well, do I get rocks to come with it or do I have to buy them separately.” Believe it or not, this grill actually does not use in your rocks underneath. What you got is an electric element, it is build on to a galvanized tray and the design of this particular grill does the same thing as an electric grill that has rocks with it.
Basically how it works is your electric element heats up. It heats up the tray and as drippings comes off of the meat that you are cooking on to the tray. The tray of course is very hot and the grease, the majority of it as it heats the tray you can hear instantly vaporize. It kind of make that sizzling sound and burn and seam that grill flavor back into the meat. A barbeques, they use a system of rocks or barquettes kind of the same thing the ideas that those rocks absorb the grease and hold it until the burns off.
But what they found is that the rocks, it kind of allow a lot of excess grease to get past them as well as they can keep, rather retain grease which can cause you to have long lasting flayer ups on this grills. So no rocks and no barquette it actually all operates with this electric element in this tray right here. As far as any grease that should not burn off, underneath the element they have a drain where any excess grease that it does not burn off eventually makes it down into your little aluminum foil pan underneath the barbeque.
They are throwaway pans. Whenever you are done grilling, you take the pan and throw it away. And then you just replace it with the brand new pan. Something that is neat that meco is able to do with their electric grills versus other grills that you might find out there on the market is, they have actually got an adjustable electric element. And someone might say, “Why do I need an adjustable element?” The answer is before the rotisserie, this is your control knob for the electric element and of course, it just plugs to just a regular 110, that is what provides your UT. And your controls for your low, medium and high are controlled right here on the side.
This little knobs turns to give you a different heat sets. But you got a handle here that allows you to move the electric element on its side. Some of this meco barbeques comes standard with the Rotisserie kit. Others you can purchase them as an accessory if you want to. But when you are doing the Rotisserie, the ability to turn the element to where you are giving heat from the back hand side is really the appropriate way to cook the food on the Rotisserie. I am going to put this on, I will show how it can it works. Get your rod here. Your motor goes on the side and then what you will do is, you hook up your electricity to it and your food will spin on the Rotisserie and the heat comes from the back of the unit to cook the food on your Rotisserie.
This is not only provides the appropriate heat—a continuous heat just cooking of the piece of meat on the back hand side versus a direct heat going through the whole piece of meat while it cooks. Also, it gives you the option to take and put a grip hand underneath to collect the drippings as you Rotisserie. Really, the appropriate way to do the Rotisserie and that is a great and tremendous feature. But the grills themselves are pretty simple. But they do cook just tremendously.
