Sear Grates

[txwelder]

Has anyone tried using these in place of Grill Grates. I've got an old 4 burner Commercial Series that has 4 of these in it that I was going to sell. I may
just take them out of it and scrap the grill. I wonder if they'll get hot enough to do steaks on the Bull. Bottom is thin gauge SST, and the grate is cast iron.

The popular grill grates are aluminum. Aluminum conducts heat 5 times faster than steel/iron and stainless is half the conductivity of steel/iron.

Those are specific to charbroil grills, are they not.

Grill grates are expensive, but they are high quality and work pretty well. If you only need to sear a couple of steaks, a charcoal starter with a small grill rack over it works fantastic.

You can buy a hibachi for anywhere from $30 to 100 which will make a steak better than you can make one on a pellet grill.

Try the cast iron one. I use a cast iron pan in mine sometimes, and it works great.

My 700 gets well over 500 degrees, Steaks come out fantastic. Just did a three pound Tomahawk that was better than any I have had in a restaurant.
