On my p500 Napoleon says to put the grate on the higher position for searing in the side burner, and use the lower position for pots.
This puzzles me as I'd think you'd want it as close and hot as possible. Is there something I'm missing or are they just afraid people who don't reverse sear will burn stuff?
So I just used it on the low grate height. Did a great, but thin sear. Similar to what I'd get from a mapp torch. Wonder if the higher position would of given me a thicker crust.
My guess is no. But go ahead and experiment! Tell us! I learned about searing studying the differences between radiant vs. conductive vs. convective. Radiant is best so you don’t char, or burn, your spices. Your mileage may vary. I now use a charcoal chimney, which isn’t very convenient, but most effective for me so far.
