Can you get it to hold steady at 325°F by shutting burner(s) off?

I didn't try that today but plan to see how it operates on low with only the outside burners on.  Everything cooked fine with all four burners set to low even though grill grate temp was 400+.

Wings were crisp, but juicy.  Fat on inside was not rendered like they get when smoked.  Meat was not as flavorful as smoked either.

I bought the grill for the things I cooked on it today to be able to make them quickly.  It served its purpose today so I am pleased with the results.  Pork chops and steaks later this week.  Will see how those turn out.

I did buy a stainless steel smoker box to set on the flavorizer bars and put some wood chips in.  That is how I used to smoke pre pellet grill.  May do that with wings next time with some orange or peach wood chips.

And, it looks good next to the Memphis and will look good in between the Memphis and the MAK after I move the MAK.

I ordered the Sizzle Q SQ180 griddle last night.  It will be here tomorrow.  May griddle up some bacon on it this weekend.  If that works out well, then I won't need a separate griddle.  Would still like to get my Griddle Hack installed in the Traeger XL though.

I did try with the two center burners off and the sides on low.  It was somewhere around the 325 mark on the lid.

I think that's pretty cool (meaning good).  A lot of stuff bakes in the oven at 350°.  I sometimes use my gasser to bake things when I don't want to heat up the kitchen.  I set it much like yours and monitor and adjust as required.

I am thinking of buying this on Mon/Tues during Prime Days.  I realize it may not do anything for the taste of a steak, but it sure looks neat if it can do what it shows in the video.  I read some of the reviews and some folks seem to really like it.  They are even putting it on top of the grill grates and still getting the marks.  I wonder if you could do the same on a pellet grill that can get about 450°.

It would eliminate the need for the 45° turn!

Yep, that was my thought for getting it.

 Once the steak is done, if you have the patience, place one peppercorn in the centre of each diamond (pepper steak - fancy)..

It arrived today.  Will see if I can make something on it this weekend.  If no, I will definitely make something on July 4th weekend.

I would think it would make a pork loin look pretty special!

I need some practice with it, but it certainly looks like it does as advertised.  The sear burner is on the left side of the grate which is why I think they got darker marks than the right side did.
