Review on JAK Portable Cartridge Overheating Protection by Chris Horton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice camping grill for two

EDIT: Sorry, I have to downvote my original review. Tonight I cooked an Armenian chicken where it is used as a grill. I found it didn't handle drops well. Armenian chicken is marinated in various spices and oil. I usually do this on an indirect charcoal grill. drip a lot. Fat drips out of the grill bowl and swells up on the outside of the bowl. This can lead to a serious security issue if left unattended. After that, the grill bowl was covered with fat and had to be removed. In addition, the panel has been coated around the flame jets that hold the pan or grill tray, as well as the edges of the main drawer with fuel and jets with grease. I would not recommend this stove and grill bowl for grilling where dripping can occur. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was testing a new product tonight, the JAK BBQ Outdoor Hero J 111 Portable Gas Grill for Revain. It's actually two products: a butane gas stove, similar to those you see in Korean and Japanese grill restaurants, and a grill bowl that sits on the stovetop. The grill bowl is not attached to the stove. I almost downgraded this product. There are two instruction booklets that were different. But then I discovered that there could be two products bundled with each instruction booklet that referred to the same item. The oven comes in a plastic storage box and requires no assembly. The grill pan requires assembly which worried me: the screws for the spring box lid retaining clips are very small and difficult to tighten as they are under the springs. especially if you have big fingers. What I finally found out is that if I open the clip all the way against its spring and insert the top screw I can loosen the clip and insert the screw into the bottom of the bowl and screw a nut on it to hold it, while I insert them second screw. bottom screw. I was then able to tighten both of them with a Phillips screwdriver and a 7/32" wrench. I hope you can do this with an adjustable wrench as instructed. Once I had the three clamps attached, the rest of the assembly was easy. I made braised boneless beef short ribs using a griddle bowl as an oven. (I usually used boneless ribs, but this was my wife's.) My recipe is simple: sauté the ribs in flour, black pepper, and garlic powder. If they turn a bit black when frying, that's good: more flavor has been added. Then place the seared ribs on a bed of onion and minced garlic (1/4 onion, 3 cloves garlic) in beef merlot broth (2 x beef broth per merlot) and set at 350 degrees for two hours. made it on this grill in a BBQ bowl. The only problem was having pans small enough to fit in the grill bowl. The bowl has never risen above 200 degrees, the boiling point here is 6,000 feet. But it was ok! They are best cooked slowly. If it works, I could no doubt grill with a grill pan as well. 8 ounces. The butane bottle only took an hour and a half. I had to use Plan C to toast the ribs. (Plan B was to use my pellet smoker, which I cooked rib stew in.) It looks like you're getting about 11 minutes at full heat per ounce of butane. You can determine how much butane you have by weighing your can of butane. An empty can weighs 3.75 ounces (11.75 ounces full). Our ribs are perfect! We (my wife and I) used braising liquid to make the sauce. It pairs very well with the Merlot (Koenig Winery 2018) which I used in my stew liquid. This grill is perfect for two people! Just make sure you have enough canisters of butane for the cooking time required.

Pros
  • camping kitchen
Cons
