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...
Instead of nostrils, snakes smell with a special organ, called the Jacobsonâs organ, on the roof of their mouths. Snakes use their tongues to grab chemicals (which smells are made of) from the environment. Then, the snake touches its tongue to the Jacobsonâs organ, which helps the snakeâs brain recognize the chemicals as smells.
