Debate: 13 Bar Genesis vs Summit 400 Series


 
I ran some tests on the Vieluxe to see if I could do a smoke infusion/sous vide type cook with just the smoker burner lit. I started on Low with increase to Med @4:00 then High @4:30. Here are pics of the setup and signals temp tracking

Then I smoked some pork chops to 140f and seared them on the WSK (sorry no pics of finished chops) - the surface of chops after smoking were very dry (maybe use a water pan?) but had a lot of smoke flavor

I guess if you wanted 250-300f you might be able to use the warming shelf, but your results would probably be different since the vieluxe shelf is quite high at vent level
 
For reference here is similar testing with main burners on Low then Med with 4th probe clipped to temp gauge on lid

I could not test burners on High since the probes are only rated to 600f…
