Felonious Monk 📚: Yeah, valves are set open, but the main controller in the middle is off. I'm betting he has a preferred level he keeps it at. But the cheese isn't turning, grates are dry, and there's no smoke.

Unmelted cheese on a premade store bought "burger" patty as part of an arrangement on a gas grill that isn't even turned on is the single best representation of US politics I've ever seen.

every time one of these freaks tries to act relatable it only reinforces how out of step with normal people they are

at the risk of defending charles "chuck" schumer, the grill looks like the valves are open. either the grill is on or he's dousing his food with propane.

Yeah, valves are set open, but the main controller in the middle is off. I'm betting he has a preferred level he keeps it at. But the cheese isn't turning, grates are dry, and there's no smoke.

Again, not to defend ol' Shoomy here, but maybe that's how his favorite made up constituents, the Bailey's, like their burgs. Lightly dusted with propane and cold cheese.

You may have a point here.

They want to taste the heat (or lack of) and NOT the Meat!?

The middle isn’t a main controller, it’s a separate sear burner. (Grill is a Genesis II E-330 or similar.) You still don’t put cheese on raw meat, but the grill is most likely on.

Ah, noted. I haven't seen that model before. Still no sign of actual cooking, or visible flame with the valves set to 75% open. I lean towards it being warm but off. And the greater point remains.

The cheesed patty has clearly been grilled on that side.

Huh. Yeah. The others look raw (though maybe just haven’t flipped yet?) but that is a grill mark peeking out if you look closely, isn’t it.

No color change in the patty. It's a grease mark.

There are 2 visible grill marks and the patty looks browned on the edges.

Flames are visible under the circled patty, which also has a visible grill mark on it.

Not flames, or they'd be visible on both sides since both valve controllers are set the same. Likely a grease mark, not a grill mark, since the color of the meat hasn't changed.

The angle into the grill only makes the flames visible in the section under the circled patty because of the grates and drip plates. The line of orange looks exactly like gas grill flames.

There is flame under the burgers on the right hand burner

The two side valve controllers are at the same position. If one was on, the other would be on. The center master controller is in the closed/off position.

That is not a control knob for the other two. That knob is a control for the "sear station", which is an additional burner between them to create a zone of intense heat.

Yep, saw that in another comment. But the point remains. Two valve controllers set the same. There wouldn't be one little tiny section of open flame.

Do you even know how gas grills work? The flame occurs where the gas comes out of the burner and nowhere else unless there's a grease flareup. You can't see the middle burner flame because it's hidden by the sheild. You can stop digging.

Yes, where the gas comes out of the burner. Which is in more than one place. Which is why there are two controllers here, one for each major zone. And which are both set to the same position. Your passion in focusing on a detail which is entirely beside the point is notable.

bro I sell Weber Grills, just give up on this one, you are wrong

My middle controller is called a "super Sear" controller and isn't always turned on. You can see flames under the right flavor shield covering the burner.
