Anyone playing with the Masterbuilt Thermotemp propane smokers? The are suppose to allow you to set a precise temperature that they will stay set at. I was thinking of using it set to 225 degrees to get the steaks up to speed monitoring with an Igrill probe, then moving them over to my blazing hot grill with GrillGrates installed after they hit 115 degrees. Any thoughts or experience with these smokers?

Welcome to the Pit Garka.....sorry no experience with the Masterbuilt...but welcome!

Thank You! Happy to absorb so much knowledge here - although it is costing my wallet
My steaks are getting much better, thankfully.
I have read here the build quality is not the greatest on the Masterbuilt, but to be able to set one like an oven seems to overcome a lot of issues - but would like to "talk" with someone that actually owns one.Comment

Welcome! I don't have a Masterbuilt, but if it holds temps, it should work out fine as you have it planned. Let us see pictures of the wonderful results!Comment

Garka This would work just fine. You can do a slow cook in the Master Built then sear over a waiting, searing hot grill. (This is the best part!)
However, you can also use your grill for both. Just take the steaks off and heat the grill to searing temps. The steaks can rest on a plate while the grill heats up to searing temps. (Just don't stack them up on the plate or the ones in the middle will cook!)

Appreciate the help.
I use a Broilmaster D39 natural gas grill that is a pain to get and keep at 225 degrees. Wind, outside temperature, etc are a pain to adjust for.
If the Thermotemp could be repeatedly and reliable set to 225 and not one needs to check it, life would be a lot easier on my dry aged grass fed steaks I get in Ann Arbor, MI at Sparrow market.
I've been doing the one burner on, one off etc, but looking to automate it with less checking and adjusting, rinse and repeating.
I also use a sears all butane torch while on the grill to really help get brown all over - not just sear marks. I set a cast iron pan on the grill grates now.
Always trying to improve.
