Not the same thing, but these can get pretty close. The first one anyway. The second one just looks interesting and is cast iron.

I’m a charcoal fan for the extra taste. The cave man in me likes building the fires too. Weber kettle for regular grilling. Can be found used under 100. For smoking weber smokey mountain. Can be found used under 200.

For charcoal searing you can just do it on the chimney direct. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013PU3BA2

They have plates you can heat up on the stove for searing too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044ERTDY

If flare ups are an issue (charcoal) they sell temperature regulators to help. Mostly used for smoking i think. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCDG5DN

What are your grill grates made of? From my experience you're going to need something that holds heat really well, like cast iron, to get nice defined grill marks. Those thin stainless steel grates that come with most grills are fine for cooking on, but you're not going to get the grill marks you want from them.

You can slap something like this right on top of your existing grates though, and you'll get what you're looking for. Make sure your fire is ripping hot too, for something like searing steaks I'm always looking for 500+.

It's a weber sear grate, you can put it in the center portion of the newer weber grills.

Much appreciated.

It's by Weber.

The original wire grill that came with the Velocity Grill wouldn't retain enough heat to give a good sear.

/u/geetarobob already linked to an example of what a chimney is, but here's what's great about them. Generally, these are used to start charcoal for a traditional charcoal grill. It efficiently keeps all the coals together so that they ash over more quickly and get you grilling with less prep time.

However, another thing that happens in these is that it concentrates all the heat into a single area. Just above the opening of the chimney can get quite hot, several hundred degrees hotter than just open charcoal. It's also the perfect size for searing a cut of meat.

So what you can do is get a very small grill grate like this one or for a bit more you can get something like this. Place it over the chimney as it's heating up and it will get super hot. Wait for the charcoal to ash over as open flame can singe the meat and impart a bitter taste. Once everything is ready, place your sous vide meat onto the grate and give it 15-30 seconds per side. You will be left with a cartoonishly perfect sear.

goddamnit, i did not know they sold a small one. ordering it today. Also, do you have a link to the smaller cast iron grate you're using?

edit: this is the grate I currently have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044ERTDY/
its 12"; i searched amazon and couldn't find an 8" grate. Can I continue to use this one with the baby chimney?

I’m familiar with those type of clay cookers. I lived in parts of Asia many many moons ago and used them occasionally. They’re great for a wok.

You’re not getting any more airlfow in one of those than you would thru a Weber One Touch type of kettle. A chimney full of good quality lump dumped right in the center of a Weber will give you just as much heat when relying on naturally occurring aspiration.

On a kettle you can do a few things to help focus the heat. One of these - https://vortexbbq.com/ or you can cut the bottom out of a stainless steel dog food bowl which costs less than $10.

Weber also sells a separate cast iron insert for that grate for those that like crosshatched grill marks. Don’t know what sort of grate you are using on your clay cooker but that Weber would be a great grate - https://www.amazon.com/Weber-8834-Gourmet-System-Grate/dp/B0044ERTDY/ref=pd_bxgy_86_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CXZ0BR658GSCKXF692XZ
