Bull slow cook the searing

[wincraig]

I cooked thick pork chops on low setting, at about 125 degrees I pulled off. I covered them and kicked up grill to 500. at about 425 I put on sear plate and finished. I was wondering if you can leave them on the grill until you reach searing temp then throw on searing plates?. Also I want to do hamburgers on low to get some smoke then finish on sear plate. Any suggestions are appreciated.

You'll over cook them if you leave the on while getting the grill up to searing temp.

I put the sear plates on and then start the grill. Smoke until meats at 110, 120, etc (depends on what it is). Pull off to rest, and turn the grill on full. Once at temp, I sear them until done.
