So I have been experimenting with my Memphis Select pellet grill. I bought a flame zone insert for the elite model and made it work in my grill. So here we go 
The flame zone insert is being supported by the upper racks where the drip pan would normally be located. I covered each side of the flame zone with foil wrapped around the upper racks. Then the lower rack is installed. I covered the thermocouple to insulate it from the flames and fake the PID to think it is cooler than it actually is...
Meanwhile I melted some unsalted butter with some BP Desert Gold seasoning and smoked sugar. Then basted the corn with it and tightly wrapped with foil...
Then the corn went into the Big Easy for 40 minutes...
Fired up the Memphis with oak pellets with a setpoint of 305F. With that temp I can manipulate the amount of fire with the pellet prime button once the thermocouple got that hot. And it got up to 305F with the hood open and thermocouple insulated with foil. After heating up I drop the costco rib-eye steaks onto the grill. They were seasoned with awake-a-steak rub that has coffee in it...
After 6 minutes I flipped them...

After another 6 minutes I pulled off the smaller one. Another 5 minutes and I pulled the big one. A thermapen check showed 135F IT on the large and 140F on the small one...
Steak was topped with balsamic vinegar and blu cheese mushrooms...
Ohh yeah! Crust on the outside and rare on the inside...
This steak was fantastic! No grease fires and the flame zone worked like a charm

Smoker Joe.... As the basis I use BP's recipe from the food network.
Assorted Grilled Portobello Pizzas Recipe : : Recipes : Food Network
On top of the portobello, I put pesto as the sauce. Then mozarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and toppings. I like chopped tomato, basil, and garlic. You can top with anything you want. When I serve them as appetizers, I cut in quarters. Family loves them!
