I did do the reverse searing of my ribeyes on the MAK and they turned out great.  However, next time I'll probably just sear them on my gas grill with my Grill Grates.  It just took too long for the MAK to get up to searing temp (and when the steaks look that good, patience is not a virtue).  I will continue to use my gas grill for basic stuff (like hot dogs, brats, and burgers), but I did use my MAK griddle for searing up some bison burgers. 

So basically, I'll be using my MAK for smoking and baking and my gas grill for high heat, quick cooks.

Something I discovered a while back.. Put your Grill Grates in your MAK. I have enough to cover the main cooking area of mine. If I set the temp not he MAK to 350F - I can get decent grill marks. That's right 350F! SO experiment with the grill grates in your MAK....you may find a combination that will surprise you ;)

Not quite sure how to correctly get the quote in my post, but I'll definitely have to try the grill grates on my MAK at 350 and see what happens.  Thanks for the information.

Most welcome! That is what we are ALL here for - to exchange ideas, share experiences, and recipes. Ad - @ 350F you will get marks. If you want heavier grill marks - you can turn up the temp.

To insert a quote - look just above the post "box" that you wish to insert into you next post. There is an option for "quote". Click on that and your reply box should pop up with he quoted text in it.
Or - if you go to reply - look below the box that you will be typing your text in - and you will see - in reverse order - all of the previous posts in that thread.

So when you say you have enough GG's to cover the main cooking area, are you actually covering every sq. inch of cooking space? If yes, does that not mess with proper airflow. I've got plenty of GG panels to cover mine too. Just assumed it would mess with proper airflow/temps readings.

Correct. It is not an exact fit - and the air gapping at either end of the grill seems to be sufficient for grilling I have not tested this approach for smoking - and I am only guessing here - but I think that low and slow temps may be o.k. too.

Better yet - check with MAK...they have a Frill -Grate like product -that was designed for the MAK cookers, so it should be even better in this application. ;)

Gotcha, thanks! I agree about the MAK sear grates. Definitely made for the MAK, with no chance of airflow restriction. But if the GG's work well...I already have those, and they are PAID for ;)
