So I tried making smash burgers on the inverted sear grates. They actually turned out really well. Still working on the timing for burgers on the 700. Last ones were a little too rare for some of the family and tonight’s burgers, while still juicy, were over done in my opinion. Have a Thermapen on order so that may help but need to dial in the timing for medium rare.
Shut down the grill when I took the burgers off. After we ate I went out to see if the grill was cool enough to move back into the garage. When I went out I could see smoke coming out of the grill. First thought was a grease fire but once I got closer it was definitely wood smoke. Even though the grill had been off for 15 minutes, it was still smoking. Hadn’t seen this before. Only thing I can’t think of is that since I was running at 500* that it could have filled the burn pot just as I was shutting it down and it took that long for the pellets to burn off. Pulled the racks and grease pan and there was some orange glowing in the pot. Is this unusual or something that should be expected when cranking up the heat?
