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...
Do snakes really smell with their tongues? Snakes do use their tongues to smell! Snakes have nostrils, just like humans. But a snakeâs tongue is also very important. When a snake flicks its tongue in the air, it picks up tiny chemical particles. When the snake brings its tongue back into its mouth, the tongue fits into a special organ on the roof of the mouth. This special organ is called the vomeronasal system. The vomeronasal system takes those tiny chemical particles and tells the snake what they are.
