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...
Snakes smell by flicking their forked tongue out into the air then drawing the tongue back into the mouth over organs in the roof of the mouth which detect the scent particlesâ¦ that the tongue has collected.
