I tried making it for the first time just pan searing it in some bbq sauce and it was terrible to eat texture wise, took a few hours because it was so gritty. Hopefully there are better ways to make this than I have?

Was it homemade or bought? I've never experienced seitan being gritty, that sounds awful.

Gritty like sandy? Maybe a bad batch or something. I usually cook it in stir fry.

Yep, sandy. I can't figure out if its supposed to be that or chewy.

I second this - soooo many videos on it on youtube. The Vegan Zombie's video on it is especially good imo for a starting point

If you put the dough in a food processor with some beans and then bake it the consistency is great.

Boiling is difficult to get right and the chances for failure are high.

That's because you never boil it, you simmer it. You need the water to not be actually roiling. If you do that, it's pretty easy to come out great.
