Instead of heating food directly by convection, the burners heat up a perforated sheet of stainless steel that generates infrared heat. Infrared heat is very intense, so it can cook food fast while still leaving it juicy, which is especially noticeable while cooking steaks.

This unit comes with a side cooker that can output up to 13,000 BTUs of heat, which can be used to cook side dishes at the same time the main grill is being used. It can also be used as a griddle.

While this grill isn’t much larger than other infrared grills, it offers a very generous cooking space. Its 525 square inches of cooking area allow you to cook as many as 32 burgers at once.

This unit is sold as a propane grill, but it can be converted for natural gas use.

The emitter vaporizes drippings from the meat instead of burning them, which makes the grill easy to clean.

The build quality is exceptional, as almost every part of the grill is made from stainless steel. The burners are operated with illuminated front-mounted dials, giving the grill a premium look.

This unit has a searing zone in the center of the grill. This provides additional heat that allows you to create beautiful looking grill marks and caramelize your food much faster. Additionally, the smoker box enhances the flavor of the seared meat by smoking it.

The additional rear-mounted infrared burner radiates heat at a downward angle to help cook food and more evenly.

This grill features a built-in rotisserie motor and some cabinet space for the rod and forks. You can easily remove the rotisserie motor when not using it.

The burners are covered with stainless steel 'Flavorizer' bars that prevent flare-ups and vaporizes the juices to add additional flavor to the food.
