I grill for about 3 minutes a side at high heat, then place on an upper shelf in a cooler part of the grill (indirect heat below 300F) to let the steak rest and slowly warm up to 130F (medium rare). Experience, or a quality instant read thermometer, is your friend.
Re: Copperheads smell like cucumbers. probably from some farmer in the 1800's who stumbled on a snake in his garden... I din knode itwas, martha- it blended right in.. or there I was... just me and the snake... the only thing I had to defend myself was this cucumber...
A snake doesn't really 'smell' to say the least. They have a special organ in the nasal cavity of their skulls called the Jacobson's Organ. When they flick their tongue out, tâ¦hey use that organ to sense any nearby prey or threat. So in a sense, they 'smell' while they taste the air.
