#steaksear #pelletgrillsear #steakbattle - Навчання та стиль
I think the best way to do this comparison is not to try to keep everything even or the same, but to cook each steak the best way you can on each grill. On my Traeger I like to smoke my steak up to about 130-135 slowly at like 175 grill temp. Usually takes an hour give or take, then reverse sear it
Yeah it’s an old video. I would do it differently for sure. Going to make 2.0 at some point. Thanks! 🍻
Agreed! He handicapped the gas grill to the point where it was no surprise he chose the pellet over the gas one. Then he overcooked both of them, but the gas grill more than the pellet. He also kept pushing the name of the pellet grill, and I didn’t hear him mention the name of the gas grill even once. I saw SEAR BURNERS on the gas grill, but he didn’t even use them! Yet he pushed the custom “open door” on the pellet grill. I think this video was useless when it comes to comparing the two.
First off, this is a 2 year old video and some mistakes were made, but I did use the sear burner on the gas grill. The extra flavor comes from the time in the smoke which the pellet grill produces more of.
As I said they are close, but in this video the smoke flavor stood out more. 🍻
I have an LSG Pellet Smoker which has a similar searing plate to the one on your Yoder. I've used it a couple of times, but my go-to now, no matter what pit I'm reverse searing on is to cook steak to 15° below target temp and then use the GrillBlazer SUv gun for less than a minute a side to get an all-over steakhouse sear. 30 minutes prior to cooking I marinate the steak in 2-1 ratio of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and then season it with Montreal Steak just before I put it on the grill. You'd be surprised as to how that really kicks up the flavor a notch.
Cool thanks for the tip. I used to use Montreal Steak Spice all the time and stopped using it many years ago. I actually picked some up last week (haven’t used it yet) but said to my wife, remember this? I can’t remember why I stopped using it. Will be trying again soon 😃
Pellet grill over gas hands down. The RecTeq RT-380 Bullseye is awesome at searing steaks and burgers. It has that direct heat for the grill grates.
Gotta be honest, I’m torn. I’ve cooked a lot of great steaks on a gas grill. I’ll be doing a burger battle soon.
Nicely shot. Love your set up I JUST got a Traeger ironwood 885 this week. last night I did my first fillet. Super smoke mode at 185 for 15 min, then heat up to 450 dropped the bottom grate all the way down. I actually got a sear. Pulled it off at 130. Let it rest about 15min. Interesting is the temp climbed to 143. I was worried It was going to be over done, but it was PERFECT medium with a hint of med rare. That smokey flavor was amazing. Wife was so so on it, but I LOVED the smokey flavor.
Sounds tasty! 🍻
Ive been using propane bbq grill my entire life and got a wood pellet grill from home depot last week because of in-store discount of $100. Its a huge savings i couldnt resist plus ive been so curious about this off set of wood pellet grills. I am surprised how the food taste so much better because of the smoky flavour that these wood pellets provide. I got me a hickory and a competition blend from 2 diff brands. I am no longer anxious on a burnt steak because of the direct fire from propane gas, now its more controlled due to its heat type convection and digital heat from a wood pellet grill. I dont look and check the bbq all the time anymore. I am not sure if im going back to propane anymore.
Congrats, there definitely is a flavor difference. Try some high temp marinated chicken breast. That is one of my favs. Thanks for watching. 🍻
I have a gas grill and i cook at 500 from start to finish. 4 to 5 minutes for each side and let it rest for a little bit and they are better then anything you can get in a restaurant. I also buy my beef from a local farmer so i start with better meat
Starting with high quality meat is half the battle for sure. I typically cook 1.25+ thick steaks so a purely high temp cook is tough. I did high heat only for many years though. Reverse sear helps give it a super even cook. Thanks for watching!
Good video I love your backyard grills.
Thank you, thanks for watching!
Great comparison. Yeah hard to be fair when they cooked a little different. Not surprising to see the pellet grill win, but it's hard to beat the convenience of gas. I've been using smoke pouches with wood chips to get a little bit of the smoky flavor in my cooks. And haha, outdoor prep and the flies - I know the struggle is real! Nice vid - liked and subscribed and will be following your content!
Thank you sir. The struggle is def real!! haha. I wouldn't get rid of my gas, I love all 3 grills. All depends on the amount of time I have and what I'm trying to cook. I've cooked a lot of great meals on gas!
Was just thinking, you should check out my twice baked potato video. I use the amaz n smoking tube there. If you like pouches, you will love one of those!
Quality gas grills routinely beat pellet grills when it comes to cooking a good steak when you don’t HANDICAP THEM. The pellet is superior for SLOW cooking, like tri tips and roasts. They are both useful, but this wasn’t a fair comparison.
Like I said in the other response. Some mistakes were made, but that is a high end quality gas grill and has the infrared sear burner on the right, which is what I used. 🍻
flawed comparison - the gas grill was over cooked, so you can't really compare the flavor and texture of steaks between the two grills. Definitely needs a "2.0 comparison", then just do the best you can on both grills, rather than trying to do the same thing on both...
I can’t do that sear with my pellet grill but wonder what if I grilled it in the pellet grill then seared it on the gas grill.
You can absolutely do that and it will turn out great. Thanks for watching!
Id say the test was unfair because you overcooked the gas grill steak more than the pellet grill. The griller , not the grill makes all the difference in the world.
Yep. Old video. Mistakes were made. 🍻
I'd be curious which ends up better - a traditional sear or reverse sear. I think it's probably easier to get to temp first, let it rest and crank the heat for a sear at the end versus high heat/sear first and then letting the grill cool down to hit target temp. Very hard to do a side-by-side comparison like that but I'd still be curious if there is a difference.
Tough to do that one with the different temps. I’ll put some thought into it. I did rest before and after the sear and liked it before. 🍻
I noticed a layer of aluminum foil underneath your lower rack on the Yoder. Does that help in cleanup and maintanence?
Yes sir, makes it much easier to clean up. Just remember there you need to season the diffuser late from time to time to make sure it doesn’t rust. You can also do a couple fatty cooks without foil as well.
Do you have a Yoder maintanence video? Your grills look great so you as meticulous as I am. Getting mine soon.
Check out my rust prevention video. There is an unboxing video that also has a seasoning portion. I also have a couple of cleaning videos. Latest one is call deep clean a pellet grill.
They should all be in my Yoder play list.

Thanks for watching!
I’m just getting into meat, only had shoprite LOL. I’m also in NJ. about how much is that steak cost?
There are levels of beef to be aware of and variations in between.
Select
Choice
Prime
Always buy choice or Prime if you can afford, it’s worth the extra money. Wholefoods has a decent Choice.
Butcher will have better meat than a grocery store. Just like anything else you get what you pay for.
Then you get into dry aged, wet aged, angus, and wagyu.
LaFriedia Meats is in NJ so free shipping and their meat is high quality and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’d check them out as they are one of my go to.
Remember, your $30 steak out is probably a 10 steak. I’d rather spend $30-$50 and have an amazing steak at home :)
Hope this helps!
I believe the removable door on the diffuser plate is standard now.
Yeah I believe that might be true, you are the second one to mention that. I’ll have to look it up and make a note. Thanks!
Thanks to pitboss, they were the first to do it and everyone else copied
Traeger can say the same about the Pellet grill. Sometimes innovation is just taking an idea and improving on it. The nice thing is that it gives everyone lots of options!
I said the same thing about that oil I don't like avactos either but that the only oil I buy now
Yep great product! I still use quality olive oil for lower temp cooks, but mostly this one now.
What was the length of time you cooked the steaks for? 20 minutes?
Usually with a reverse sear it’s going to take 40 mins or so depending on size of steak.
Gotcha thank you
❓ *What video do you want to see next?* 🍻
How long did it take you to get the meat to the right temperature?
Sorry I can’t remember, it’s an old video. I’d say 25-45 mins depending on thickness of steak. 🍻
Bel confronto bro.
Il bbq a gas a quanto ho capito tende a seccare la carne mentre il pellet avendo più umidità la lascia succosa, giusto?
Questa è un altra conferma che appena posso acquistare un bbq opterò per uno a pellet e non a gas.
Tu mi consigliavi anche il kamado ma per me,oltre al costo, sarebbe troppo impegnativo come gestione della temperatura. Bbq a pellet secondo me racchiude un ottima resa in termini di aroma , semplicità di utilizzo ancor maggiore del gas, è un ampia gamma di tipologia di cucina.
Continua così voglio vedere altri video 💪💪💪
I've cooked on gas for many years and just had a Weber Smokey mountain smoker. I think if you learn to use the tools properly, you can turn out great food on both. The pellet grill gives you the ability to add some smoke flavor and less baby sitting. A Kamado grill is the best hands down. Most flavor and most smoke, but more work :)
I don't like avacado, but hate burnt oil. Not a fan of A1 at all, but worchestershire sauce is amazing. Love the smokey flavor, but i need a sear.. As Hank Hill said, it's medium rare or you politely ask them to leave haha. Can't lie i'm sold, too many similarities in my tastes.
No A1 for me either!
on the subject of the flies, MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY
for taste test you have to do the triangle method.
Yeah, that’s a really old video. 🍻
do the same thing but ask people to taste test for you. in case you are biased
I have a couple people who have volunteered 😁. Will be doing something like that in the future. Thanks for watching!
Have you used a pit boss before?
No sorry, I haven’t used one of those. Previously I played with a couple Traegers.
Did a t bone on a z grill and it was one of the best steaks ever
Was going to get a pellet, but the more I looked at them, I realized I would rarely use it. The models that have the searing openings are great, but what a hassle you went through, and the grill space to sear seems tiny. We have a family of six. I can cook all six on the indirect heat side of my Weber Summit, take them off while I max the grill temp out, then put all six (or more) of them on the flat side of Grill Grates for a fantastic crust. By the way, you sear with the lid open, not closed. Otherwise, you are finishing the steaks in what is essentially a hot, flame-fired oven and you defeat the entire purpose of a reverse-sear. You want to keep as much of the heat as possible on the surface, flipping them a few times so not much heat makes it’s way inside.
That is one draw back to a pellet grill. 🍻
I was admiring your grill in your Yoder video and had to see what it was. Now I feel poor. :D
Lol. When you are in the market I’d recommend looking at a Weber Summit or Napoleon. I owned a Summit for 8 years and sold it for $600 when I got my Lynx. They are great grills for the money. They will last you 15 years plus.
@@RumandCook right now I have a charbroil gril that costed me $400 and I had it for probably 7 years now. When I do an outdoor kitchen, I'd probably go with something like Lynx because they make everything you could want. I was just cracking up watching your video because you probably have more into your grills than people spend on cars. I just imagine having that and then inviting people over to serve them hotdogs. 😄
I always say it’s not the size of your tools it’s how you use them :) That was a big piece of what lead me down the Lynx path.
Nothing wrong with serving hotdogs, but I draw the line at frozen burgers! 😂
@@RumandCook But make sure you buy a real Napoleon, and not the junk the DIY stores sell. I have a Napoleon, always covered when not in use, and the bottom rotted out in about 4yrs, and on it's 3rd set of diffusers
There are Napoleon, and then there are BBQs with a Napoleon name plate on them.
Absolutely! Sad that this is true, but my dad was warned when buying one as well.
4:09 RIP his knife edge 😢
I barely had any pressure on the knife. It wasn’t a cheap grocery store steak lol 🍻
It's pronounced the way we say Worchester up here in NE Woosta Sheer
Lol. I’ll never get it right. It’s my nemesis 🍻
Not being rude to our American cousins but the way to say Worcestershire Sauce is wu·stuh·shuh Sauce. Don't say Shire like in Lord of the Rings. We in England would say shear like Kitchen or garden shears. :)
😂 well I’m sorts of f*cked up. Spent half my life in Canada and half in the US. I’ll get it right one day! Thanks for the break down though haha. 🍻
@@RumandCook I didn't pop on your channel to point out English haha. What are you views on Flat top gas grills? I'm in the UK and single at the moment but keen to get a BBQ. Going pellet or coal seems a waste for a single guy so am weighing up gas grill vs gas flap top. Flap top I could cook anything but doesn't feel like a BBQ to me, also flat top gas grills are kind of limited over here. The idea of flat top cooking outdoors does seem a great idea though as could do breakfast, well anything really
Haha no worries, I thought it was funny.
There are a lot of griddle lovers out there and I’d use one myself as a secondary item, but I like sausages and wings too much. I just don’t think they do that well and are a bit limited. That being said I don’t have a lot of experience with one.
Just keep watching my channel and step up your cooking game. Won’t be single for long, everyone wants a partner who can actually cook 😆
I didn’t know Jack from Will & Grace was a grill man. I knew he liked meat.
lol
@@RumandCook thanks for having a sense of humor. Everyone is so serious.
You gotta make another tips video. You killed it here.
Not this guy. If your hobby gets too serious, you need another hobby 😁. Thanks, I will do more for sure! 🍻
Where's the A-1?
Haha not an A-1 guy. Normally Worcestershire. 🍻
Geezus, that's a lot of work.
I’ll put in the time for steak or anything smoked no problem. 😁
Thanks for watching.
Hardly a fair comparison put grill grates on the gasser and use the same thermometer.
You don’t put grill grates on a Lynx grill. It has a 1000F sear burner.
Not worthy of a comparison then horses for courses. Waste of time
Just showing the sear in real world. You would use grill grates on a pellet grill and not on this gas grill. Pretty simple really..
Way over done
Yep for sure! Once one was over cooked I was in trouble. Can’t rewind video unfortunately 😁. I’ll be redoing this video soon. Thanks!
I can get the same result with my Weber kettle and save myself 20 grand
You could also do it in a cast iron pan and save 100 :)
@@RumandCook not even closed cast iron wouldn't give me any smoke flavor as the weber kettle .
That’s not a legit comparison, I love my Weber grill when I’m in a hurry after work, my Kamado Joe when I want wood flavor and a perfect steak my pellet grill is great when I’m lazy and want to set it and forget it with a smoke ish flavored piece of meat. In no way is a pellet ever a do all grill period
I typically do a lot more chicken and pork on my pellet grill. Steak is more of a weekend thing for me so I’m usually cranking up my Komodo Kamado on the weekends. Thanks for watching. 🍻
Woo - sta - shear. Thank me later.
Lol 🍻
Could have just redone the video...
True
I dislike everything about the way he did this “challenge”. WHY wouldn’t you cook using all the best features of the gas grill to try and get the BEST results possible? He handicapped the gas as if he was forcing the pellet to win, right down to using a customized “removable door” that very few pellet grills even have! I liked that he cut the same steak in half, but it’s INSANE to not use each to the best of their abilities if you’re trying to compare which will give you the best results. Nobody cooks like that in real life, nor should they. This was a waste of time.
You are saying I handicapped the gas grill because you think I didn’t use the sear burner. That is not accurate. This is a very old video from when I was just starting on YT. 🍻
I should also add, the whole reason I bought my Yoder was the searing features of it. I’ve owned other pellet grills over the years and returned them. They cook a terrible steak.
Spoiler Alert - Its charcoal, charcoal is better
😂 I have a Kamado and an offset as well. 🍻
Too much trouble. Millenials ...
Better get your eyes checked if your calling me a millennial.
HAHAHAA
Gas grills is for lazy people pellet grills are for people that want to have five star taste and quality
Haha well some would say pellet grills are for lazy people as well 😁
@@RumandCook if so they don't like 5 star cooking
