  1. Nothing will beat a weber kettle for steaks….

    I have a 640s, bullseye deluxe, WSM with auto temp controller, and Kettle – I only kept the kettle for steaks, and the WSM for showing off when I feel like making a top notch brisket

  2. Was going to get a pellet, but the more I looked at them, I realized I would rarely use it. The models that have the searing openings are great, but what a hassle you went through, and the grill space to sear seems tiny. We have a family of six. I can cook all six on the indirect heat side of my Weber Summit, take them off while I max the grill temp out, then put all six (or more) of them on the flat side of Grill Grates for a fantastic crust. By the way, you sear with the lid open, not closed. Otherwise, you are finishing the steaks in what is essentially a hot, flame-fired oven and you defeat the entire purpose of a reverse-sear. You want to keep as much of the heat as possible on the surface, flipping them a few times so not much heat makes it’s way inside.

  3. I'd be curious which ends up better – a traditional sear or reverse sear. I think it's probably easier to get to temp first, let it rest and crank the heat for a sear at the end versus high heat/sear first and then letting the grill cool down to hit target temp. Very hard to do a side-by-side comparison like that but I'd still be curious if there is a difference.

  4. Nicely shot. Love your set up I JUST got a Traeger ironwood 885 this week. last night I did my first fillet. Super smoke mode at 185 for 15 min, then heat up to 450 dropped the bottom grate all the way down. I actually got a sear. Pulled it off at 130. Let it rest about 15min. Interesting is the temp climbed to 143. I was worried It was going to be over done, but it was PERFECT medium with a hint of med rare. That smokey flavor was amazing. Wife was so so on it, but I LOVED the smokey flavor.

  5. I dislike everything about the way he did this “challenge”. WHY wouldn’t you cook using all the best features of the gas grill to try and get the BEST results possible? He handicapped the gas as if he was forcing the pellet to win, right down to using a customized “removable door” that very few pellet grills even have! I liked that he cut the same steak in half, but it’s INSANE to not use each to the best of their abilities if you’re trying to compare which will give you the best results. Nobody cooks like that in real life, nor should they. This was a waste of time.

  6. I think the best way to do this comparison is not to try to keep everything even or the same, but to cook each steak the best way you can on each grill. On my Traeger I like to smoke my steak up to about 130-135 slowly at like 175 grill temp. Usually takes an hour give or take, then reverse sear it

  7. That’s not a legit comparison, I love my Weber grill when I’m in a hurry after work, my Kamado Joe when I want wood flavor and a perfect steak my pellet grill is great when I’m lazy and want to set it and forget it with a smoke ish flavored piece of meat. In no way is a pellet ever a do all grill period

  8. I have an LSG Pellet Smoker which has a similar searing plate to the one on your Yoder. I've used it a couple of times, but my go-to now, no matter what pit I'm reverse searing on is to cook steak to 15° below target temp and then use the GrillBlazer SUv gun for less than a minute a side to get an all-over steakhouse sear. 30 minutes prior to cooking I marinate the steak in 2-1 ratio of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and then season it with Montreal Steak just before I put it on the grill. You'd be surprised as to how that really kicks up the flavor a notch.
