Description

The Star BBQ Elevated Sear with V-Track Rails (STARBBQ-RSEAR) is a sear grate insert that holds food up on raised V-track rails for deep char marks over a campfire, a charcoal base or a gas grill. The rails channel drippings away, which cuts down on flare-ups, and the extra height lets heat circulate under the food so it cooks evenly and is easier to flip.

It is powder-coated cold-rolled steel, measures 21-13/16" x 14" x 3-1/4" high and weighs 8.6 lbs.

It fits the STARBBQ-24CHBS charcoal grill base, the STARBBQ-24SMGRIM Santa Maria rim, the STARBBQ-240PGRIM post mount rim and the STARBBQ-24FPBS fire pit base. You can also set it on Sunstone and Ruby grills, other gas or charcoal grills, double side burners such as the Sunstone SUN13VDB or Companion Pro SUN13CPRO, or use it by itself over a campfire or DIY brick BBQ.

Great sear marks

I'm big into BBQ and this sear insert is awesome. The V track rails give me great sear marks on steaks and keep them juicy. Really heavy duty too, feels like it'll last forever.

Better sear, more even cook

This insert has changed how I grill. Being raised up helps everything cook more evenly and get a good sear. Burgers and chicken have never tasted better, and the V track grates clean up easier than I expected.

Ramon P.★★★★★October 31, 2016
Worth it

I love to entertain and wanted to step up my outdoor kitchen. This sear grate is really well made and the V track design actually makes a difference. You can feel the quality as soon as you unbox it.

Marcus V.★★★☆☆May 28, 2012
Good, but a bit pricey

Works as advertised, gives nice marks and holds heat well. Install was straightforward. Only real gripe is the price, feels a little steep for just an insert, even a heavy duty one.

Evan★★★★☆November 3, 2014
Solid upgrade

Wasn't sure an insert could make that much difference, but this one proved me wrong. The V track design is clever and helps the fat drain off while still getting a good crust. Practical upgrade if you grill a lot.

Q
What's this sear insert made of? Will it hold up to high heat?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's heavy duty stainless steel, so it resists rust and corrosion even with a lot of high temp searing. It'll handle the weather and keep working well for many years of grilling.

Q
Is this sear grate hard to clean? Do the V-tracks trap grease?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's not bad. The V-tracks actually channel drippings away from the burners, which cuts down on flare ups and makes cleanup easier. Brush it with a stiff grill brush while it's still warm. For tougher residue, soak it in warm soapy water and then give it a final scrub.

Q
Will this sear grate fit my gas grill, or only Star BBQ grills?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's made to fit most gas and charcoal grills that take a standard size grate. Since it drops in where your current grate goes, just measure your cooking surface to make sure it fits your grill.

Q
Is this sear insert hard to install? Does it come with everything I need?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's easier than you'd think. It drops in place of many standard grates, and the V-track rails just sit on your grill's existing grate supports. The main thing is making sure your grill's cooking area is the right size for it.
