Hey guys, as some of you may know I live in germany and my old boss gifted me the waffle iron this spring. It is quiet nice, and yes you can pull the pin out and flip it to make sandwiches, or sear a steak. The GBS Sear Grate is quiet common here, it is about 50-55€. If some of you are interested in the Sear grate or any other Weber accessory that is not available in the US I would be willing to buy them here and send them out to you.
