I know this will not sit well with some, but I love our searing station on our Napoleon gasser. Its ceramic inferred and get to aprox 1200 in just about 3 minutes.

Nothing wrong with that recommendation!

Works for me! I actually made some phenomenal reverse seared steaks just last week... and I did it all on my Genesis II, using Grillgrates. The original question was about charcoal grills for searing though, so that is why the discussion has been in that direction.

Weber Summit Charcoal Grill
I want to see a Lodge in person to get a feel for size and capacity.
I like the Mini Max the grate is closer to the coals and it looks like it could be great at searing.
On the high end of the scale the M Grills M16 looks amazing.
I may just try a reduction ring in the Summit since a new grill has not been approved by management and I am still hearing about the WSCG purchase lol.

jfmorris I would love a Slow and Sear but they don't fit. You need the Low Profile version which was discontinued. I have a Vortex and they are too tall as well when the grate is at the high level. The retention ring is 13 inches, about the same size as a Mini Max or KJ JR.

It sounds like the retention ring with the charcoal grate at the high level is the way to go then - just work out how much of a chimney it takes to fill the ring to the top, and that gives you a sear zone about as big as a jumbo Joe or other small grill. Remember that for SEARING, you don't really care about building up heat at the grate level, but are relying on radiant heat on the side facing down.Last edited by jfmorris; January 23, 2020, 08:37 AM.

I would think that ring would let you do charcoal reverse seared steaks the way I do with my SnS on my Performer. Start indirect, outside the ring, near the edge of the grill with the lid on. Then remove lid and start searing in the middle once the steaks get up to 115 or 120.

Weber Summit Kamado with SnS and Vortex.. Broil King Baron, Primo Oval Junior. Primo XL. Love grilling steaks, ribs, and chicken. Need to master smoked salmon. Absolutely love anything to do with baking bread. Favorite cool weather beer: Sam Adams Octoberfest Favorite warm weather beer: Yuengling Traditional Lager. All-time favorite drink: Single Malt Scotch
I have an Akorn Junior that is fantastic for searing. It is 13†in diameter and holds 4 NY strips easily. Got
it for around $70. I can load it with lump or kingsford competition, and get a ripping hot fire.
