Konro-style Grates for Napoleon Sear Burners

[danb_vt]

Greetings! I've got a Prestige Pro 825 and mostly love it, but am looking for grates for the sear burners that hold less heat than the thick stock ones--I'm an "even brown" sear guy, not a grill-mark fan. Konro/Yakitori-style grates would be ideal, I think, and get me closer to the results I get with the cold-grate method on my Weber kettle. Anybody know where to find ones that are the right size, or already solved this a different way?

Welcome to The Pit.

Have you thought about Grillgrates? They have one side for grill marks and the other side is flat for a complete sear.

That’s what I have on my Napoleon 500 Pro - half GGs, and the other half the regular Napoleon grate. I still use the sear burner when I want a good sear/car, but the GGs do a great job of the kind of sear you get in a hot pan using the flat side.

Thanks--it's good to be here! I did briefly consider Grillgrates, but figured the ceramic sear burners would be my best option for steaks, since I've got them. They do sear really well--the grates just hold too much heat, and I end up with more char in the grill marks than I want. Maybe I'm doing it wrong and should reconsider.

Thanks! Hope to borrow everybody's best ideas here and hopefully put out food that tastes more like it does in your part of the country than it generally does in mine.
