I agree. I've never done one that well. Maybe I need to sear them a fraction longer.

Camp Chef has indeed created a very cool setup with their new sear box! Have you taken a close look? Are you thinking it would attach to a MAK 1 Star with no issue? If you do it, please take and post a few pics....would love to see.

I should probably know this, but how do you cook your steaks? Do you cook them on your pellet grill, including the searing of them? I see on your user profile that you are “thinking about renouncing charcoal�? I’ve been there done that a couple of times. I always seem to find my way back, if for no other reason then it’s searing ability. That’s why I have my eye on this Otto Wilde sear station. I believe it would outperform charcoal by a mile :)

I have a strong feeling that it will require drilling a few holes and either using the bolts that come with the sear box or picking up some from Lowes. I have yet to lay eyes on a sear box to compare...so I MAY have to dive in and use a return policy if it doesn't work out.
I have a Blackstone 36" griddle that gets VERY hot after I put an adjustable regulator on it. It work FANTASTIC for searing steaks. However, the amount of time, propane and SPACE needed to use the Blackstone and the MAK is considerable. That's what got me thinking about using the sear box in the first place.

Kind of the same dilemma that I am in... I too have a 36†Blackstone...love it, but it definitely takes up a lot of space on the patio. I love the idea of a screaming hot sear station!
For the record, I also have a 17†Blackstone griddle sitting on a 24x24†stainless table that I bought at Costco. It sets right next to my MAK. It’s a sweet setup, but I still am seriously considering the Otto Wilde setup to replace it with.
