A friend of mine has a bit smaller version. He cooks steaks on it to very favorable reviews. He doesn't use butter or oil, he uses lard. Once it’s seasoned you can use whatever the dish requires. No different than cast iron.

I believe the lard is just a preference.

I’m kind of surprised people would dump a gas grill for one.
I can see where it would be great for some stuff, but past burgers can you cook steak and chicken breasts on it ?

Yep, you sure can !
Super hard sear the steaks & move them to a lesser heat zone, to finish.
Chicken breast, medium heat is your friend.
Damned thing is seasoned so well, you can do eggs, pancakes, veges, basically what ever you want.

What do you use to put weight on the meat to keep it down or smash the burgers ?

One thing I have not seen mentioned are Cubano sandwiches. They are only second to the burgers IMO. And it's also a killer way to use up leftover pulled pork.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I put Grill Grates on my gas grill. The nifty thing is that if you turn them over (when they're cold, you moron...) they become a griddle. Uber handy for things like salmon and veggies. Not quite a "flattop" like you'd find at a genuine diner, but damn close. For your cooking pleasure... LINK

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y1H7R55/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Not sure why, but when we make smash burgers on the Blackstone they cook evenly and do not swell up and get thick in the middle like they do on a gas grilll.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

thanks I was thinking about finding a grill with half griddle, and the rest grill…. I didn’t get what you meant by Grill Grates - they are Griddles that go on a Grill. Cool ! I put Grill Grates on my gas grill. The nifty thing is that if you turn them over (when they're cold, you moron...) they become a griddle. Uber handy for things like salmon and veggies.

Did you go to the link? Grill Grates are replacement grates that go on a grill (duh) and have raised ribs on one side but flat on the other. They're one step short of black magic in how well they cook.

Rock Those grills are the hizzy fo shizzy. Been meaning to get pair. I put Grill Grates on my gas grill.

I use Grill Grates in every competition I cook because they provide pretty grill marks, but I rarely use them at home. I have also cooked a bunch of burgers and brats on the flat side and while good, because of the drain holes in the GG it's not the same. Not even close. Just my opinion after cooking on both.

What do you change up? About the only thing not authentic when I do them is the bread mainly because there's no Cuban bakeries in my part of the country. I also see some made with brown or whole grain mustard, but I'm a yellow mustard guy.
