Max Temperature for Slow 'n Sear

[Huskee]

I've only ever gotten to 418 on the indirect grate, but that was because I had chicken on and didn't want to get any higher. Never tested a max.

Yeah KBB. What were you burning?

David Parrish I'm guessing you used kingsford blue bag?
This was taking on the way to 600 on indirect side.

Is that 650 per the dome thermometer? The highest temp I've gotten on the indirect side is around 480F.

I haven't measured while searing but I was cooking pizza one day and I got it to 650. I'm sure it gets plenty hot.
It was fun to see the stock lid thermometer max out

I've looked around to see how hot we should be able to get a kettle + SnS up to. I've found references to "highest temperature recorded in a kettle", but I haven't found an actual number.

Anyone measured their sear temperature?

Best regards,
