gas grill flame distance

[cal1956]

i grill a lot of steaks and over the years have had several different grills but the one thing that bugs me is the flame is to far away to get a good char on the steaks , is there a grill made where to burner is closer to the cooking surface ?

Not sure if there is a grill that way but I bet you would really like a sear burner. I fit this in the old Jenn Air. Night and day difference. A little sheet metal work but not hard at all.

Some of the nicer grills have a sear burner on them that can get pretty high in temp. Check out the weber's. My solution to this problem has been to get the grill hot as hell before I put the room temp steaks on. 600 degrees or more. Gets a pretty nice char on each side. If still not done can move to the top rock until you get to your desired IT.

there are grills out there that sear well just look around the masterbuilt 560 goes to 700 degrees and sears well

For the best sear, fan dry the protein (pellicle).

Not sure if you want another toy, but there is also this:

Sorry probably my fault. Sear burner in my first post is a CalFlame BBQ07890P-A Sear Zone Burner and other link is for a infrared propane broiler NORTHFIRE Inferno Single Propane Infrared Grill.

The M560 sears on the principle of the Leaf Blower/ Trash Can Furnace.

I haven't used the phone ap and didn't read the manual.
I like to to tinker with the bbq
and the 560 likes to Rock & Roll.
