What would you want to see tested on a MAK sear grate?  I may do a review once it warms up a bit.

Steak and/or burgers cooked at 450 or Grill setting. Also something like simple chicken thighs or breasts cooked at a higher grilling temp.

What would you want to know about the cook and the use of the sear grate versus the regular grate?  Maybe I could do a side by side.

The appearance it gives to the food vs the standard grates.

Maybe I will throw some frozen burgers on while I have the grill going this afternoon.

I’ll be watching

Just threw on 2 porterhouse steaks.

Grill set to 450°.  Wifi temp reading 440° after sear grate on grill for 15 minutes after it was sitting in ambient outside temp of ~36°


Steaks just place on grill


Steaks after about 8 minutes before flip


Steaks after flip


Steaks pulled after another 7 minutes.  Test aborted due to grease fire on right side and fire shooting out the grease drain.  I knew better and should have just continued my burn off and not adding grease to the mix.


Oh well, I think you can see the sear grate works better than the standard grill grates from a marking standpoint.

Obviously those are ruined.  Please overnight to me

Big difference! Boy, I’m thinking a nice grease fire is the ticket to a mean sear on the MAK...lol.

Big difference.  Now I see where the post re grease pans and high heat came from!

That is only one example.

And next time I need to take the side smoke chamber off when cooking at that high of heat.  I think I created some paint damage on the left side of the box.

Huh? Take the side smoke box off (the cold smoke box add-on? Damage? Pics?

Fire was shooting out the side of the grill and hitting the tall smoke box chamber.  There looks to be some discoloration of the outside of the chamber about the size of a softball, but no damage that should prevent the usage of it.
