    Reverse sear or how to start a grease fire

    Reverse sear a beef burger or how to start a grease fire.
    It is so embarrassing. My poor Traeger held together, took it in stride.
    Lesson learned 500+ degrees will start a grease fire in the grease management system of my Traeger.

      My guess is that it was probably a bit hotter than 500.

        The temp did spike after lifting lid.

      Nothing quite as humbling when you're cooking for company and you go running into the house with the food you're trying to save going "Honey, where is the fire extinguisher? We have a fire on the grill" LOL. Happened to me last summer with some particularly fatty burgers and a particularly poorly maintained gas grill grease collection

        When I had the Memphis, reverse searing without a drip pan made a grease fire about as predictable as the morning sunrise. It’s not a fun experience.

          Gosh, I would have thought that there would have been enough PBR nearby to douse the fire in an emergency. Of course, then the emergency is the absence of PBR...
