Know before you buy
The sear box is a dedicated propane-powered burner that reaches significantly higher temperatures than the pellet grill. It is designed specifically for achieving a crust on steaks and chops, whereas the main chamber uses indirect heat for smoking and roasting.
Yes, they operate independently. You can smoke a brisket in the main chamber while simultaneously searing vegetables or finishing steaks on the propane side.
This model features a patented ash cleanout system that allows you to dump the ash from the burn cup into a removable cup underneath the grill. It is best to empty this after every few cooks to ensure consistent airflow and temperature control.
Yes, the grill requires a standard 110V outlet to power the digital controller, the auger that feeds the pellets, and the internal fan. You will need an outdoor-rated extension cord if you are not positioned directly next to an outlet.
The PID controller is designed to maintain a consistent temperature within a few degrees of your set point. It is highly reliable for long, low-and-slow cooks like pork shoulder or brisket where steady heat is essential.
The sear box should be treated like a standard gas grill. You should brush the grates after each use and occasionally wipe down the burner covers to prevent grease buildup that could cause flare-ups.
