Pit Boss Vs Traeger Pellet Grill - Sear Test!

- In today's video I was plagued by the question: Can I get sear marks using my Pit Boss pellet grill? I had to find out!
What's the big deal with those grill marks anyway? Those blackened marks on your steak happen because of something called the "Maillard reaction", a chemical reaction that occurs between amino acids and carbohydrates when food is exposed to extreme heat. The Maillard reaction is responsible for the browned, complex flavors that make bread taste toasty and malty, steaks taste savory and charred, and coffee taste dark and robust.
One bite is all it will take and you will NEVER prepare a steak any other way.
Try it. You will thank me later.

Pit Boss Vs Traeger Pellet Grill - Can You Sear on a Pellet Smoker? #bbq #pitboss #traeger #sear

Just open the sear plate and turn the heat all the way up (leave the lid open) then put it on after about 5 mins. The point of the sear is to get the grates screaming hot, not the internal temperature of the grill
Yes sir
Just a tip on these smoker/grill combos. Don't preheat the grill to get a good sear. As soon as you crank it to 500, the grill will put out a big flame to try to climb temp. Once it hits 500, the flame will die down to try to maintain temp. You want that steak on the grill while the flame is high
I can second this method. Cool your steak tri tip whatever. Then set the flame to 500/high. Once that flame is cranking, open the sear plate. Put that steak or whatever directly over that flame
For 1-2 mins each side. With the plate open it will stay on high heat as the way mine works the large flame Heats the grill temp but not the internal temp next to the sensor.
Yum! Great job Andrew! 🤩🤤
I have the PB850PS2 and I agree, reverse seared steaks with the flame broiler are different from the direct coal sear and is next level. Super tasty. 🔥
Nice Andrew. Showing parts of the other video made me LOL... Take care.
Ha! thanks for stoping by Johnny! Can't believe we are finally in the same state...just still 6 hours away. LOL
OMG that looks amazing
Also from San Antonio! I’ve been viewing your traeger vs pit boss videos 👍🏻. Thank you for the video
Hey Marco! Very cool, family and I are LOVING San Antonio!
@@GrillSergeant I live in SA as well and love your videos. Great job. I want that Pit Boss.
Very nice! Way to go.
Ok can’t wait to know your pros and cons on the Competition Series. I am needing to decide between that and the Pro Series.
Thanks a bunch!
Same here!
THE PRO SERIES HAS BUILT IN WIFI BLUTOOTH & MEAT PROBS THAT ALL CONNECT TO YOUR PHONE YOU CAN CONTROLL THE COOK TEMP & SET PROBE TEMPS ALL FROM THE PHONE
Love all your videos...but love more than anything seeing the kids not only involved but not overly controlled...just being themselves. Refreshing and enjoyable.
I have the pb850 pro v2 and I just tried the seat option this weekend with NY Strip and some Top Sirloin. Smoked at 220 the. Set it to high or 500 they turned out amazing best steaks I have ever made. I would try that steak. Great video
Nice brother!
Straight for the bone he goes! Love it.
That's a nice looking steak.
I've been collecting cast iron frying pans and griddle pans in anticipation of the delivery of my Wildfire grill I saw on this channel. Hopefully I'll get good at doing a slow cooked steak with an 1,100° pan sear finish and some sides at the same time.
Awesome cook. Happy to see you’ve discovered H-E-B and H-E-B’s Central Market! Your SoCal is fading and being replaced by “Puro San Antonio”! Bought a Pit Boss Brunswick based on your videos. Now I’m going to be looking for a Pit Boss grill. Medium Rare rules.
My wife and I just moved to San Antonio too, we love H-E-B. Thanks for all the info on the pit boss too I’m picking one up today!!
Very cool Matt! Where in SA did you guys move too? I’m up near Helotes but still within the 1604 loop.
That steak looks delicious, haven't tried out my sear feature yet on my pit boss. Maybe its time to.
Not sure about the new PitBoss smokers, but I have the previous generation PB850 Pro and from smoking (225) to searing (atLEAST 400) it takes a good 15-20 minutes even in the hot Texas summer heat. The key is to set the PB to HIGH. This will get it there quicker than setting it to a high temp like 475.
Yeah these new Pit Boss smokers are really blowing me away at how quick they come up to temp.
Actually you don’t even need to wait for it to get up to 500. Just crank it up and pull the sear handle and you’ve got fire!
Again I loved the edited and Jared call
But medium rare that's for my like biting direct to cow :)
Wish all the best 👌
Sometimes I think my steak is still moo’ing when I cut into it. 😂
Man this channel is great. Thanks for the high quality content!
That Pit Boss did a great sear on that Tomahawk steak, great job on the cook.
How even does this brand new 1600 cook? Side to side top and bottom?
I’m just upset you did not wait for me to cook this steak looks amazing bro
I absolutely want some of that steak👍😊
Hey! Beebe Family Arms & Munitions here. :) Loved the Friday reference at the beginning. That tomahawk looks incredible! I didn’t know you could link your InkBird to your smart watch. Sweet! These videos make me regret letting hubs buy me a Traeger. I actually prefer my pit boss smokers. This one looks like it’s a lot like my Ironwood 885! Bet it was less expensive with more features too. Ugh!
Ha! Live and learn! Yeah the Inkbird app notification will sent it to my watch as well. I feel so high tech 😂
@@GrillSergeant think imma try and sell my Traeger! Good deal! I need to mess with mine more. I think it’s because my internet is 5G the InkBird doesn’t like it. 🤣 my tech skills are about a one out of 10. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh and the Sarge is in charge!
Awesome job brother! PS.... I'd take a PB over a Traeger any day of the week!!! Any plans for that backyard??
Hopefully I’ll have the deck built soon but I need some cool military name ideas for the shack 😂
@@GrillSergeant Thats a full show!!! 😂 😂😂
@@GrillSergeant the only military shacks I know of are the radio shack and the clap shack. The clap shack being where you go after you make poor decisions on liberty...
I have a short showing sear marks on my Rec Tec. . Love my Hazy IPA's. . I know what we're drinking whenever we get together. .
I am looking for a brand new smoker barbecue and I was thinking about a Traeger or a pit boss but after seeing all your videos I think I want to go with the pit Boss pro series 1150 for a beginner. Do you think this would be a good barbecue smoker for me and my family.
Absolutely! Love the Pro Series line. I’m building the Pro Series 1600 Elite as we speak. :)
@@GrillSergeant this is going to be my first ever pellet, barbecue little nervous but I told my wife I really want to start smoking and cooking. I think if I followed your videos I’m gonna be OK. Just overwhelmed by all the different smokers out there but after doing my homework, I think I’m picking the right one.
It works better if you open the flame when it’s heating up. It’ll get hotter and sear better
I used my PB850 successfully to put sear marks on my ribeyes. It worked, but I lost them as I finished the cook. But the ribeyes were a grand slam.
Yeaaah Heb is the best!!😀😁 Welcome to Texas!😎
Thank you kindly! Family and I are LOVING Texas so far!
I'd eat that steak. Figure if kids got that excited about it, it had to be good. I get good sears on my SmokeFire. Thing's a grilling machine. Great video and congrats on the move!
Thank you so much Troy! Nothing better than seeing your child enjoying bbq / steaks of the smoker.
Hey Guys, can anyone Tell me how long the PB needs to get 200f? My Navigator 1600 pro needs a very long time to reach the Temp. Over 30-45 min.
Here is something to try. Empty out the burn pot and put a small handful of pellets in before you start it up. Then when you turn it on, crank the temp to 300. Once it hits 200 you can turn it down to 200 to keep it there. That should get you up to temp quicker.
Are you using the same cutting board for raw and cooked meat?
Yes. But I wash it in between. 😂
@@GrillSergeant alright. Just making sure you and the kids are safe
I just got my Pitt Boss KC Combo at a big discount at Walmart and I did your tomahawk steak. And it can out unbelievably great, No more Treager. I just don't like the no sear on Treager, and I sold it to a guy at a garage sale and I made enough money on the Trager to pay for the Pitt Boss KC Combo. Treager is so overpriced and does not perform as well as a Pitt Boss. Good luck to all the Treager owners.
How long did you let it sear per side?
2 mins per side (1 min, then rotate for 1 more min to get the nice diamond sear marks)
Awesome video. I now know how go get the grill marks. I would so put that meat in my mouth.
Girl! Keep it PG on my channel, hot dang. LOL
Getting a 1600 elite
to me the best seasonings to add to a steak would be Garlic, Sea Salt and crushed pepper flakes. prove me wrong :D
That sounds so good!
@@GrillSergeant to me it is
I wish they got hotter. 900-1000°. 🔥🔥🔥
So the internal temp of the smoker can get over 500 but when you pull the sear plate open the temp over that fire is 1000. Next time I go to sear something I’ll see what my temp gun reads.
What did I do to deserve this slander?! 😂 #teamwelldone
Don’t worry. My wife would enjoy the steak with you! 😂
Now that’s a Steak! Gotta Love HEB! But come on Everyone knows it’s SPGO! #TexasTrinity 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Oh snap. Gotta try your rub out! 🍻
Not quite understanding, is the steak a bad boy, or is the grill a bad boy, what is a bad boy? Hahaha. Nice video anyway, go Pit Boss
From the Oxford Dictionary:
Bad Boy
1. a man who does not conform to approved standards of behavior, especially in a particular sphere of activity.
"the bad boy of classical music"
2. a thing that is regarded as extremely impressive or effective.
"we went 142 mph in that bad boy"
The steak was extremely impressive and the Pit Boss 1600CS was extremely impressive AND effective. LOL
Dude when did you leave us in California ? You where the last good thing we had going for us .
Ha! I finally got out! Once you have a taste of freedom you will never go back. LOL
@@GrillSergeant lol true and i don't blame you . If it weren't for family i would be gone to lol . Hope you guys have a great time.
You should have used a bigger knife
How long does this grill take to get to 500°?
It took you two hours to get it to 115°?? Wtf dude. Get a different line of work
I can get grill marks on my Trager lol
I'm gonna need to see proof. LOL I was kinda let down by that Traeger Pro. lol
@@GrillSergeant grill plate on the induction burner= sear, all done on the Trager hahahaha....
@@crutterjr 😂 Love ya Chuck
Are you sponsored by Pitboss?
I am a brand ambasador for Pit Boss. But I was using their smokers well before that happened.
@@GrillSergeant hopefully the new products are better then the Brunswick because it's so damn hard to get a accurate temp reading in that thing. Only reason I bought it was because you spoke highly about it, wish I would of known your work for them. I would of saved myself the headache😂😂
@@go-ham1594 I have not gotten a red cent from Pit Boss and paid full price for my Brunswick. Sorry to hear you were having issues with yours. I did do a pros and cons list after using it 6 months after use. One thing that surprised me is one of the cons I said was how hard it was to pull out the ash clean out tray and the Pit Boss R&D team went back and redesigned it. That showed me this company listens and wants to offer a great smoker at a great price.
God bless H.E.B. 🇺🇸
Haha ill call your wife over to enjoy my steak 🥩 😮
Dats a poifict steak 😀
That tomahawk is impressive
I got a victory royal after cooking this steak! 😂 Let’s play soon!
