Fun thread, learned a lot and saw things I never knew existed.  I have learned that asking questions here often lead me to changing my mind and saving me money.  The MAK is by far the best grill I have ever owned and their customer support is awesome.

Rwalters- how are the sear grates working out for you? 

Old thread but got me looking very strongly. Not totally happy with my currently reverse sear grilling. This puppy looks to really kick butt!

FWIW the The Otto Grill Lite is currently on sale $699 until the Super Bowl Feb 7th. Main difference the two burners are not independently adjustable and the grate level uses 6 slots instead on continuously variable adjust.
