Grill Grates

[Javaaman]

Just ordered a sear station from Grill Grates. Looking forward to a nice 1.5" bone in rib eye. Reverse seared of course!

Mine came yesterday and I haven’t decided what to cook first.

Have to believe no matter what it is, it's going to be good.
Please share your choice and results when you do.

Ribs are probably my favorite. I thought about smoking some baby backs and finishing on the grates.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a sear station? I mean I know what it’s suppose to do (sear the meat) and I have a extra burner between burners 1 & 2 on my weber grill that’s called a sear station but are you talking about an extra grate for your grill? Sorry I’m a bit confused.

Here Ya go, Scott.
An accessory to do searing on.
It's extruded Aluminum and makes really hot bars for Pellet griller's to sear meat on to help get grill lines.

Grates were delivered today. Looking forward to a steak for me and chicken for my wife on Sunday!
Curious just how hot they will get - gonna see if I can find one of those infrared temp readers.

Mine were hot enough to put nice grill marks on our ribeyes lst night.

Hint: Don't test it with your finners.
(Unless you want to be sporting a new brand mark.)

Thanks sonny!

I think I saw these style grates on an infomercial years ago but I guess I wasn’t under the impression they were for searing. I thought they were for replacing your grill grates. They look nice!

Finally had the chance to test the Grill Grates last night (last weeks steak never made it, as I ended up in the ER with Diverticulitis on Saturday night!).
Grilled some chic cutlets and have to say overall, not impressed! Smoker initially set to 350*. Grates never got above that (going to test my thermometer today). Chic nearly dried out before I saw any grill marks.
What I did find was a big mess of dried, burnt Italian dressing marinade in the "valleys". Beast to clean (from what my wife said - LOL). Going to do some additional "dry" tests today (no food) and may try some pork chops, assuming the food warden says it's ok with my ailing gut!

They work well for me. I seared burgers at 450 on the flat side and got a nice crust.

You do have to give them time to get up to temp. I don’t think 350 will be hot enough.

 

[Javaaman]

Going to try again today. In fairness, I may not allowed enough time to heat properly.

When I reverse sear ribeyes I leave the grill grates on for the entire cook.
