Hey guys.....silly question for the pellet grill pros.

Example: I want to quickly cook a burger- how much longer does it take on a pellet grill vs. a propane one? This was a question from my wife and it seems pretty simple and logical, but I had no answer. I assume a bit longer.....perhaps 5 mins or so?

Answer will be up to you! Get the sear/grill plates. You crank the smoker up to 500 degrees, those sear plates will get 600+. So, whatever temp you normally cook your burgers on the grill, you can get it on the smoker.

my problem is how long it takes to get to 500* on the pellet cooker. Its very problematic in a reverse sear situation. Thats why I spent $400 on a basic grill that I can heat up in 5 minutes while the meat is still smoking on the pellet cooker.

I did the same thing. Pellet cooker is great for everything but it just doesn't do a rib eye, strip steak, filet correctly. Mine gets to 500 and it still doesn't sear correctly.

With Grill Grates, 500 can really get to 600-650. While we have a Napoleon Gasser with the sizzle zone for this, we have done it with Grill Grates with solid success.
 
I have a pellet grill and have used the grill grates successfully, but it still doesn't compare to actual sear that you would get on a gas grill with a sear zone.

I’ll give that a whirl.
 
Did the Meat Church queso this weekend. It didn't last long.
 
Grilled chicken legs using a rack that holds them vertical. Sprinkled with a pork and poultry rub and grilled at 350 for about an hr to 190 degrees. Turned out awesome!!!

I’m going to make it this weekend. I went with the jalapeño Velveeta since I couldn’t get the cream of jalapeño. I think it will go over well with my family. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I don't know when, but at some point I'm going to try modifying that smoked queso recipe to turn it into smoked mac & queso. I will probably use chorizo instead of sausage, too.

Still use a cream of something in it!
 
Got another brisket for the 4th. Trying for back 2 back successful attempts here.
 
Smoked some pork butt rubbed with Meat Church Holy Cow rub yesterday on the Rectec.

Did it at 300°

took 7 hrs and 45 minutes to probe tender, right at 200° internal

Double wrapped with foil in the cooler for an hour. It was fantastic
