Are you using and what kind or brand of a heat deflector are you using when smoking? Ceramic or? "Practice like you want to play in the game" | ||

BGE's own plate setter works for me. | |||

I have a used BGE plate setter that I’d gladly give you if you lived close. I’m not shipping a ceramic item. (I don’t trust the shippers to not break it) Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you. | |||

Another vote for the bge plate setter. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

I need to get one of those, it will solve the enhanced effort of reverse sear very nicely.  | |||

Same here. I would like to try the cast iron, but I’ll just wait until my ceramic one breaks. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

I have multiple Green Eggs and use the ceramic one from BGE and I have an adjustable rig, and a Woo ring from the Ceramic Grill Store. They all work well. The ceramic grill store are good people and happy to help on the phone and walk you thru their options. I think Kamado Joe copied some of their ideas. I have a few SIGs. | |||

I have the same cast iron one that Bama posted. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

I have a Kamado Joe, it comes with a ceramic heat deflector that's split in the middle and about 1" thick. With the KJ you can use just half of the heat deflector and have half direct heat, or both to cover the whole grill except 1" around the outside. I use at least 1 of them a lot and it works great can do veggies on one side and meat/chicken on the direct heat side......or push an item over the indirect side if it's cooking faster than the others....….. I'd want the flexibility if possible to do half or all if possible with the BGE...…. | |||

I went Kamado Joe over the BGE too. I love the features. I would recommend something you can do half for the same reasons mentioned above. Do they make a half plate for the BGE? | |||

No they're not. I know what grille grates are for and reverse sear isn't one I recognize. | |||

You're missing out!  Set BGE up indirect at about 200, get steaks up to about 105, remove and cover, then go direct with grill grates, get temp up to about 500, put the steaks back on for about 2 minutes total each side, internal temp around 125, remove, cover and rest for 10-15 minutes...Best steaks I've ever had - including some really good steak houses. But to each their own, I know there are a lot of different ways to do a steak and directly on the cast iron deflector would probably do just fine for the sear! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

No I know how to reverse sear and do it all the time. Just that the grille grates would not accomplish that any better than what I do now. I like the idea of the cast iron place setter as it might be easier to use and sear on that once it gets to a high enough sear temp once I get the steaks to the lower temp 115 +/-. Currently using the ceramic ps and taking it out then putting the grille back in and letting it heat up to sear temp - quite a PIA but the results are worth it. | |||

Learning the reverse sear technique was a game changer! The only downside is that I won't order a steak at a restaurant any more, the steaks I make at home are just way better. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

My Traeger wouldn't fit inside the ceramic egg so, I chose to smoke my pork (and other meat) outside the egg.  Life moves pretty fast.
