Easy Way to Sear Steaks & Burgers without spending a lot of Cash

Pappy · Oct 11, 2011

I salvaged some 12" x 15" cast iron grates from a gasser that had been tossed out. I thought about using them on my offset smoker. Decided against that. I figured the low & slow method would just make clean up harder. Not hot enough to burn it off clean.
Then I had another brain fart. I just set the CI grate on top of my 22.5 hinged grate. I fits between the hinges perfect. Could of been 2" longer, but hey, it was FREE!

That will work just fine. I'll never buy cast iron grates for my kettles, I just borrow one from my Char-Griller.

Yip, I did the same thing with a busted Charbroil infrared burner in the scrap bin at Home Depot. It works grate, no more flare ups.

Yep, great minds think alike. This grate is from my Weber gasser.

Had a brain fart or three myself!

Char Broil grates salvaged from a gasser.

My Performer came with the original Cast Iron Sear Grate

Salvaged Weber Genesis cast iron grate fit as well.

Lodge used to make a hefty one that fits the 22" kettle, if you can find one it would be a score!

Grill Grates are the chit too!
