Sweet! Thanks Case, appreciate it.Yes that will work fine.

Searzall was something I meant to put on my Christmas list. Didn’t realize they weren’t making them anymore.Yes, I have a TS8000 ... it will torch anything in its path ... just a little slow given it’s small target area ... (I use it to start charcoal and pellet tray/tube also) ... wanted to get a Searzall attachment to spread over a larger surface area and sear faster but appears not made anymore ... some knockoffs available it seams.
Propane is the easiest fuel to control when browning/crisping up, the next step up is MapPro (yellow cylinder) and it needs a different torch head, I use it for metal working so have it on hand, and it works great for starting charcoal too. One other option is a weed burner, which I use to start larger cookers and to roast peppers. On a quiet night it sounds like a jet is landing in your back yard.
Plus, a weed burner telegraphs the message to the neighbors that you are serious when it comes to playing with fire.Now that SearPro looks pretty darn good. I usually use a Seerzall, But honestly the best result I have gotten is with a weed burner. It’s real quick & puts a crust on the meat in 20–30 seconds without cooking the meat in the middle.

Hmmm.... I am using Benzomatic TS8000, chimney or CI to sear my SV stakes or any other SV meats.... Always wanted to try a weed burner. Will do some time soon!Now that SearPro looks pretty darn good. I usually use a Seerzall, But honestly the best result I have gotten is with a weed burner.

As long as you have a proper flame, it's perfectly safe. The original Mapp was made by Linde and they stopped making it 12 or 15 years ago, and it was higher in acetylene. The replacement is Map-Pro and still in the yellow canisters. Modernist Cusine recommends Mapp over propane for cooking partially because it burns hotter and it has less chance of leaving a propane scent odor on food. Here is another article discussing the various gas products for use in the kitchen or grill.I wouldn't use Mapp gas on food it has methyl-acetylene in it.
