I bought this as an experiment to try to maximize the grill marks on my burgers. Instead of those skinny little lines, how about searing the whole surface? I cook the burger on the kettle real slow, indirect, low temp, with plenty of wood smoke. When the burger heats up to about 70 F, I light a chimney with 3/4 full lump. When the lump lights and is in full burn, place this seasoned grate on top of chimney. It'll get to 800+ F degrees in about 5 mins! When the burger gets within 20 F of my burger target temp, move the burger from the kettle to the screaming hot grate on the chimney. Flip every 20 secs. Check with instant read thermometer. When burger is within 5 F of target temp, remove and enjoy. Amazing grill marks! This would obviously work for steaks too! Best sear ever!
