what is the sear burner and how does it perform
925790
The sear burner is a burner with straight flames to sear(cook and seal) your meat. It gives you the grill marks and cooks the outsides of the meat then you move it to the regular burner to finish cooking. I can say that when it worked, it was great, but this grill has had a major problem of rusting out including burners, firebox, legs, casters, etc. Now...in all fairness, charbroil replaced all the rusted parts and it works again, but the grill only lasted a year and a half before being rusted out. My grill stays outside under my carport and with a cover. Its made too cheaply in my opinion because a grill shouldn't rust out in less than 2 years, esp when its cleaned and put up after each cleaning. Hope this helps.

the sear burner works very good for the first year after that it will rust away and stop functioning as will the whole bottom part of the grill. the seer burner is used for steaks Elite you leave your steaks on the seer burnin for a minute flip it in a sealed and all the juices in the steak.

It is a large flat burner that burns very hot and as a result it quickly sears the outside of the meat. It provides a nice crisp seared outside to the meat in pretty short time.

It is a burner. I have used mine to burn many DVD's from mini laptops that don't have them. It burns them quickly too.

I received my grill about 4 weeks ago and have used it over 20 times and when both burners are on low or only one burner is on low, the burner(s) work very nicely and not sputtering at all; just a nice small flame on one or both of them.

I have used it on a small burner...I do get a "hot-spot". To mitigate the problem, I move the pan slowly in a circle over the burner, to widen the hot spot. That worked well for me.The fact that the pan retains heat well works to our advantage here.Hope this helps.

With all burners on including the sear burner, my grill preheats to over 700 degrees. I have no problem getting a great sear on my steaks. I have the propane version which does get a bit hotter than the NG version so I am told. Not sure what the temp difference would be after a preheat in NG mode.

Yes! The "sear" setting allows you to pause the rotation and sear the food. I use that function all the time- I love it!

This grill heats up so fast to 550-600 degrees (10-12 min) that you can sear just fine then lower temp to desired level. Therefore unless you really need side burner, which IMO is the biggest waste of side shelf space, you do not need the searing burner model E-330.

I haven't had mine out for a few months but I do know that when I got it I was very pleased with the quality. The accessories were all good and just what you would need to cook anything you want. I did buy an additional thermometor because I wasn't sure if it came with one but it does. A pretty complete package in my opinion. If your buying a burner to go with it I would suggest you get one that sits lower to the ground.

It does get quite hot. We tend to use at around 500 degrees to sear and quick cook. It will cook on lower if you only use one of the two burners, but more around 275-300.

BTU's is the measure of burner output and uses the time to boil water to make that determination. Used sparingly, 1 persons meal at a time, using a thin metal cooking vessel, im thinking 15 meals possibly more.

The top burners are very different from other camp chef stoves. They definitely do not throw the heat that the rest do and yes you can throttle the fire back to simmer. The fuel/ air mix seems perfect, blue flame and NO soot to scrub off the outside of the pot. I think it does use more fuel than they claim,, but the small bottles are easy to carry and they can be refilled.

This is why I bought this product. You can indeed sear with it. Returning it to the warming unit and proceed with whatever it is you want to cook. So I can highly recommend it and it being 7QT it works get for large crowds. Happy Cooking.

I having used it yet but I have used a model much older than this and it works perfectly. I highly doubt you have to have both burners on at the same time. In fact am confident that you don't. Iv cooked on those before and used one at a time and both if needed.

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

Sorry, I do not know, It is built pretty heavy and does get pretty hot. It has two rings of burners, one when using for lower heat and the other starts up when go higher. Sorry i cant answer your question..

! I can't think what kind of burners you are talking about, but no, I can't imagine it being flamable, tho I just use it on my wood stove when the fire is out. I was a little disappointed in it tho, as I was visualizing a polish I could buff to a shine, but it is a dull polish that does cover any rust.
