Yep. Same principle.

My grill is on its way out, it came with our house when we bought it and its simply falling apart, rust all over the place. I did my best to get 2 years out of it but i would like to get a new one for next year. I would like something with as much stainless steel as possible, any recommendations?

PS: Gas grills only

When you do that reverse, are you dropping them in an iron skillet, or doing the sear outside on a grill?

These were seared on a cast iron pan.

I sometimes do it on the grill too though.

<wheels spinning in head, stomach growling> I think I may have been doing it wrong all these years. I have a hankering and it can only be satisfied with more cow flesh!

Ni idea if the quality now is the same as it was 10 years ago but my Summit series Weber that came with the house is now near 10 years old. It is in spectacular shape, no rust anywhere, built like a freakin tank. To top it off, it was not covered for the first 7 years of it's life.

Exceedingly expensive but damn, it is dead set like new after 10 years.

Expensive is an understatement. You are the third person to tell me about this grill, I'll start saving

To be honest those grills seem to have a love/hate relationship due to cost. I know 3 people who have them and 2 would not buy again because of the cost, the other wants to divorce his wife and marry the summit! What do you want in a grill and maybe you'll get some other recs. I personally do about half my stuff on the grill and the other in a cheap smoker but have been doing more and more smoking lately with the warm water in the west and the amount of quality fish available.

Honestly, I love to grill...I grill practically throughout the whole year. In my case I care a lot about build quality and space. My wife loves to put together kebabs and I love to grill skirt and porterhouse steaks. Again im looking for a good quality grill that will do a great job w/ heat control and also last more than 7 years lol.

So, say you wanted to cook a nice steak for the wife on Thursday. You don't currently have anything stored away in a freezer somewhere, and don't have a cow in the back yard. Where would you go buy something like a nice rib-eye short of an overnight order from the internet?

Two ribeyes I recently made. Sous vide at 128* for an hour then seared with a torch. Medium rare in the middle with minimal gray band.

TBH I would not buy one, I am not sure they are worth the cash but as i said before, it is in ridiculous shape for it's age. I cannot speak highly enough of the build quality, every part is fuck off heavy, and i mean EVERY part.

I see no reason why i would not get another 20 years out of it, which is absolutely ridiculous. If you buy one young you may never, ever need another grill.

That's awesome!

What sous vide apparatus are you using?

Whole Foods? Not the best ever, but since moving to the burbs I've been consistently impressed with the quality the offerings at my local store.

Falls short of the best specialty butchers, but great for a last minute steak night decision.

Yeah as stated above me Whole Foods sells dry aged beef and it's pretty much the best you're going to get from a grocer. A local butcher may or may not be better, really depends on the butcher. My Costco sells really nice Prime tenderloins, strips, and ribeyes.

40?? That's 13 years, mine is nearly that old, I seriously think you could be OK until 60.

Just about any quality, non home improvement store type that sits in the front of the store, will last that long with a little effort and maintenance. Build quality is subjective, I've seen some trashed Weber, Viking and DCS grills coasting thousands,my brother in law trashed his $3K Viking 45" full stainless in just 5 years, I spent a whole day, took it apart power washed the carcass, degreased it, cleaned and polished the stainless and we replaced 2 burners that were done, it's like new but he'll trash it again. I'd shop around at some dedicated BBQ outlets get an idea of what features you like and shop the internet. From what you say you really don't need anything special so keep an open mind on brands and buy the feature set you like.
