Searing was my concern with ordering a Z-grill 11002B. I have that same Lodge cast iron griddle that is my plan to attempt searing once it arrives. We'll see if I have to remove the heat deflector in that one. My concern with the PitBoss is uneven heating across the cooking area.

@fireincumbents 9 месяцев назад

You wanna know the BEST way to get great smoky flavored steaks with a great sear? A Gas Grill running beside your pellet grill. Plus, you conserve quite a bit of pellets too. Low and slow @225 for about 20-30 min (110 degrees) have the gas grill warmed up and ready to go. When you get to 110 degrees take them over to the red hot gas grill and sear em good! A lot easier than trying to finagle a pellet grill to do something it's not really made to do.

@PTBCANADIAN 7 месяцев назад

I do that too but for some reason my soft smoked steak ends up getting really rough once I’ve seared it on the gas grill afterward. I don’t get it.

@DeezNuttz_BoffaDem 6 месяцев назад

⁠@@PTBCANADIAN I’m curious what temp your pellet smoker is set at, what temp you’re pulling them to sear them? I’m finally looking into pellet grills now that my propane grill and my electric smoker have both reached end of life. I bought my weber kettle grill after my expensive 6 burner stainless propane grill, 2 electric smokers and 1 cheap charcoal vertical smoker. They all still worked but I still prefer the kettle although it took a few cooks to figure it out. I don’t want to invest in something else I consider 2nd to my $125 weber kettle, but I would love smoking brisket with less effort. If I cant sear a steak tho, idk

@stinkyfungus 6 месяцев назад

@@PTBCANADIAN Did you rest the steak 20-30 minutes after pulling it off the gasser for the sear? High heat will make the steak contract up for a bit. It should "relax" a little with the rest

@efg1311 6 месяцев назад

3rd one is the best. You can also increase your crust by basting in a little bit of oil and butter (add garlic and herbs for extra favor).

@madbackyard 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! Oil and butter will work well too if you don't want to mess with the tallow. Use a good high smoke point oil like grapeseed. I try to avoid garlic and herbs when searing at really high temps as I find they just quickly burn. A good garlic and herb butter added on top to melt over the top while resting the steaks works great though!

Without doing much, if any, research, I bought my first pellet grill a few weeks ago, the PB 700FB1, based on the recommendation of the grill guy at Lowe's. I was a little skeptical of the "flame broiler" feature at first. That is, until I used it. Dude, it is no joke. The thing is like the fire of Mustafar. Going back to Lowe's today for one of those diffuser plates. 😂

@madbackyard 2 месяца назад

Yes, it can get pretty hot! I haven't seen the flame tamers (if that's what you are referring to that sit over the firepot for better indirect cooking) at Lowes. You can order either from Smokeslikeaboss.com or there are some amazon options too that some of our viewers found liem this one: amzn.to/3VPLnD0

@WallyB4WJ 10 месяцев назад

Two thoughts, if you don't mind. First, GREAT video and very helpful, and I completely agree with you about the Grill Grates turned upside down so you get maximum Maillard effect -such a perfect sear! But one thing I would add when cooking the steaks for the "reverse sear" is that you can do that on the Grill Grates with the grates upright, and put pellets in the grooves to get some nice, enhanced smoke flavor. I agree with you having the tube smoker in the back of the grill, but the pellets in the grates works nicely too. Something to consider... And Second, regarding the final sear, you have it exactly right about the inverted Grill Grates for such a full-surface sear for maximum Maillard crust. And if your audience only has a pellet grill to do it, that's the right advice. But, what I do (b/c I have a gas grill too) is do the slower cook of the steak on the pellet grill to get the smoke enhancement, but when it's time to sear, I just fire up the gas grill with the inverted Grill Grates, and I get an awesome sear in almost no time - without wasting a lot of pellets trying to get the pellet grill to searing temp. It's just using your stuff most efficiently, and at the point we're taking those steaks for the final sear, there is no "smoke" gonna happen so we might as well go with the most efficient method for the sear. Just my thoughts, for what it's worth... Thanks for your many very helpful and informative videos!!

@madbackyard 10 месяцев назад

Nice. Awesome ideas. I'll definitely try that pellet in the grill grates tip. For this video I was really trying to challenge myself to ONLY use a pellet grill and see what was possible. There's so many awesome directions you can go though. I'm going to soon try some smoked ribeye steaks in my electric smoker set only to about 90°F and hold them there almost sous vide style to get them smoky and the exterior dried out then blast them on the gas grill for the crust. Thanks for watching!

@WallyB4WJ 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for your reply! Sometimes I leave comments for people, but I don't always get a reply so I don't know if they ever saw the comments... BTW, the pellets in the Grill Grates is not my idea - that came from Brad, the guy who invented the Grill Grates. I understand you were trying to do EVERYTHING on just a pellet grill in that video, and that's great b/c many folks only have a pellet grill, so your video showed how to do the whole process on just a pellet grill. It was a real eye-opener to see how much of a difference that sear grate (direct heat) makes! Your electric smoker as a sous vide device sounds VERY interesting! Now you have me thinking again, darn it! 🤪 I use my Weber 22 Kettle as my "cold smoker" with no heat and just a smoke tube, and it works great for cheese, salt, etc. So I wonder if I could put steaks in there and cold smoke them to infuse them with smoke flavor (like your electric smoker idea), and then cook & sear to finish? I was planning to do something like that with a frozen pizza, so your electric smoker steak idea really has me thinking... Also, thanks for another great tip you mentioned about how to use your cheap pellets and expensive pellets - I was doing the exact opposite and using the expensive ones for heat, and the cheap ones for the smoke tube. Your idea of using the cheap ones for heat and expensive ones for smoke just make so much more sense! Thanks! Love your videos and I always learn something from them. You have a new fan!

One thing to keep in mind when using cast iron pan or griddle or Grill Grates, etc...when you turn your meat over....place it on an unused portion of the heated surface. If you just turn it over in the same spot...the surface has been cooled too much to sear.

Thanks! No not normal. It’s called a burn back if you want to look it up but you pellets are igniting in side the auger and smokes making it’s way back to the hopper. Could cause a large fire in your pit boss. Make sure your ash pot is cleaned out regularly and your fan is working and to always go through the shut down cycle when turning off your Pit Boss. We are going to do a video about it soon. Thanks for watching!

@ricewu8519 7 месяцев назад

Great video! I'm wondering if there's another way to estimate the temperature of the cast iron tray without the infra-red thermometer which is quite pricey? I used the pit boss 850G's thermometer but it didn't work for the cast iron. Is there a way, eg, heat the grill to 250 degrees first with cast iron in it (indirect fire), and then with the direct fire, heat the cast iron for like 10 minutes and the iron will reach the required high temperature? Something like that? Thx

@madbackyard 7 месяцев назад

Thank you!! I wouldn’t rule out the infrared thermometer right away. There are many models on amazon for less than the cost of a package of ribeyes. Check out the link to the one I put in the description for example. You don’t need a top of the line one just for cooking which is nice. If you don’t want to use one then just give the cast iron plenty of time to heat up. You could even start it on a burner inside while the steak is smoking/precooking on the pellet grill. You can flick a few drops of water in it to make sure it sizzles and steams instantly is another trick. Thanks for watching!!! 👍 🙏 😎

@ramgarcia1243 6 месяцев назад

Is it okay to smoke the steaks before searing? Great video

Searing on the PitBoss over the direct flame does it cause any problems with grease getting into the firepot. Awaiting delivery of my first pellet grill, so new to all this.

@madbackyard 9 месяцев назад

Hi Doris- Great question. No, not at all. It burns so hot on the HIGH setting that pretty much anything that drips down gets incinerated right away. You may get some flareups the same way you would get searing over a burner on a gas grill, but you can just move the food out of the way until it dies down. If you watch our chicken wings video you can watch me sear a bunch of them at once right over the open flame broiler and you'll get a better sense of what it looks like. Thanks for watching! Make sure to check out our other videos on how to assemble and how to start and season the new pellet grill when it first arrives before you start cooking on it.

@nikbadshah 2 месяца назад

How long these pellet grills typically take to come up to grilling temps? I want to get into smoking, but My current gas bbq is also approaching end of life. And now i am debating between small pellet grill and new gas grill vs just a bigger size pellet grill to.do everythijg. I am not sure if it can replace gas grills entirely for those weekdays grilling when you are short on time and gotta make quick family dinner?

@madbackyard 2 месяца назад

A pellet grill DOES take a while to get up to temperature compared to a gas grill, especially the bigger ones. It cannot completely replace a gas grill. I'd say it depends what you plan to cook more of: Hamburgers, steaks, brats, etc on weeknights, go with a gas grill. Ribs, Pulled pork, brisket, whole chickens, roasts on longer weekend cooks, go with a pellet grill. Think of the searing option on a pellet grill as a nice add-on feature to a smoker, but not something that's meant to completely replace the high heat convenience of a gas grill. We also recently became an affiliate for Monument Grills and I really like their 5 Burner Mesa Series if you are looking for a new gas grill. It will be featured in our next video if you want to check it out. It gets hot FAST. You can use our code: "madbackyard" for a discount. Here is the link: shrsl.com/4he4g.

@christinam4501 4 месяца назад

Is there any disadvantage of using grill gates all the way across and just leaving them in even when smoking? Seems like it would even out the temp.

@davidtalley3461 11 дней назад

Dumb question I think but would you use the same method no matter what type of steak you grill? I use direct heat on my pit boss with a cast iron griddle to sear it on.

@madbackyard 10 дней назад

Not a dumb question at all! Yes, you can use the same method. Just know a thicker filet mignon will take a little longer to get to your target internal temp before searing than a thinner cut. But then you use the same searing technique and the same final target internal temp for your preferred doneness no matter the type of steak.

@madbackyard 10 дней назад

With the small caveat that a thinner steak’s internal temp will rise more during resting than a thicker steak (less distance for heat from the exterior to travel to the center). So always good to pull a thinner steak sooner so you don’t accidentally overcook.

@wayneerker3179 9 месяцев назад

What is direct heat feature

@madbackyard 9 месяцев назад

On many Pit Boss and other pellet grill models they have a lever where you can pull back a panel to directly expose the fire in the firepot so you get direct heat like grilling on a gas grill rather than indirect heat like an oven when the fire pot is covered.

@bryceo6369 9 месяцев назад

What would happen if you put the oil on the grates rather than the steak would it cause a fire?

@madbackyard 9 месяцев назад

Good question! Nothing wrong with that, just a little messier and it may flare up if it drips down into fire pot before you even get your steaks on. I just find this method simpler. Thanks for watching!

You won’t get much smoky flavor on a Pellet grill cooking at high heat. The pellets burn too quickly. You get more when cooking low and slow for longer periods of time. Here is the link for the grill grates used at the end of the video. They work great!!👍. amzn.to/3JEndVj

While he is talking with the top up on the grill the temp dropped significantly

I take the steak inside, heat the cast iron…. Butter, garlic Thyme… no waste of pellet fuel.

@madbackyard 2 месяца назад

Cast Iron is my favorite way to sear, either inside or outside.

@robertjason6885 2 месяца назад

@@madbackyardI appreciate your efforts here. I’m just lazy, and stuck in my ways. The only thing I no longer do is rest more than 3 minutes after removing from the cast iron. I plate as you do those 3 minutes… on a grid placed on the plate.

@robertjason6885 День назад

Grill Grates allow you to sear without removing the internals. As you mentioned, pat the steak totally dry for a proper sear.

@michaelnguyen8727 22 дня назад

coulda just put the cast iron directly over the fire instead of putting the grates on...

Sorry, I thought you were using the Pitboss.

What I am learning is that Pellet Grills are over rated. Sure they can cook low and slow for 12 hours but so can my Weber gas grill with some smoke tubes/boxes.

Haha. Steak house quality. A steak house can’t touch a back yard grilled steak.

GREAT comparison for the different methods. BUT this video should have been around 20 minutes max. Too much ancillary talking and open lids. Thank you for getting me started to get my steaks looking like yours! !! !!!

@ianblasdale4318 9 месяцев назад

Too much science for me to cook a steak. I know it's about pellet grills but really? This video could have lasted 30 seconds. Using a probe to know when a steak is cooked also removes the romance of cooking. Looking at the steak to know when it's done is all I need to do. Simple as when it shines it's the very beginning of rare and then it's up to you.

True but having a perfect steak every time is unmatched

@THerd-um5tl 9 месяцев назад

I think you're overlooking the fact that not everyone is at that level of expertise, especially if they've just acquired a new grill or are getting into grilling for the first time. And no matter how experienced you are, the "romance" is lost if the steak is over cooked and dry. Even the top BBQ champions all use thermometers to check internal temp. I'm not saying your way is wrong, but it isn't right for everyone...or I dare say, even the majority of backyard BBQ adventurists.

I'm really frustrated with this video where he makes mistakes and then adds text to the screen when he should just be cooking and then close the freaking grill so he can talk while it's cooking oh my God shake my head slap me

@johnfreeman440 2 месяца назад

Don't watch. This comment does nothing but make you look like a douche. Thanks.

@user-wm3dc5ku9d Месяц назад

why not just make your steaks on a gas stove in the cast iron pan? what does the pellet grill do for you? seems like you are adding an unnecessary step?
