You ever try timing a grill? I can show you how to get that perfect sear without all the fancy gadgets.
Yeah, Iāve tried it. If you can make the grillās temperature hit a target in the splitāsecond range, Iām all earsāotherwise itās just another excuse to hit the gym.
Use a good instantāread temp gun and just keep the lid open a bit so you can see the heat swing. Raise the burner, see the gun tick up, lower it when you hit the number. No fancy software needed, just a steady hand and a quick read.
Nice idea, but Iāll spend the next halfāhour checking the gun for every tiny fluctuation. Still, if you keep the lid just open enough to see the temperature swing and lock in that target before the flareāup, youāll shave off those uneven spots. Just focus on the gun, not the flame.
Donāt chase every little spike, just give the grill some steady heat and let the meat do its thing. Open that lid a bit, keep an eye on the gun, but if it jumps up after you hit the target, close the lid fast. The flareāups are normal; donāt sweat themājust get the flame low enough and the air flow just right. Thatās how real grillinā keeps steady without all the fuss.
Iāll give it a try, but if the flame jumps off the chart again Iām out. Keep the lid just open enough for the gun to read, and if it spikes after you hit your target, shut it quickāno drama. And no, thatās not āfussā; itās just the math.
