So I was looking around on the PBC website and I notice that they sell grill grates for the PBC. Has anybody tried these out? Do they work? or are they a waste of time/money?

For me, the best thing about using Grill Grates is the prevention of flareups. Second best is that they get super hot for searing.
I use them on my gasser and over my SnS on my kettles. Because of the PBC's design, flareups when grilling are not much of a concern unless you position the basket close to the grate. If you raise the basket, then Grill Grates might be a nice addition to prevent flareups.
As far as searing goes, I don't know how hot they get in the PBC. Others may address that.
All of this said, I don't own GGs for the PBC and have never used them, so take my comments with a grain of BBQ rub.

Scott Wat I easily get my PBC to 475 and upwards and I expect you can too. I did not notice what charcoal you are using but Kingsford Professional briquets burn hotter than the original, plus both rebars out plus cracking the lid about a quarter inch will do it for me and I expect it will for you as well. I do not adjust my intake. I leave it at one quarter open as I am at approx. 670' above sea level. Try that...I expect you will have no trouble. Let us know how that works out for you!

If you guys want to sear, do you use the ridged side, or the flat side, in order to get max Maillard ? ?
I've been using the flat side based on editorial comment posted by the admin review here.
note: I’m using a Traeger so I need a little extra help with the sear.Last edited by zzdocxx; August 3, 2020, 11:10 PM.
