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

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 😃

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
