One of those IR Grills


 
IDK if the thing is meant for using with a pan. Looks like the grates are supposed to slide in/out for food manipulation/removal. Looked a bit "burnt" for my tastes. But, seems like quite the gadget for only $120
 
I do think with IR it is better "top down". One reason I think Weber's new Summit is likely one of the best grills out there. As it looks like they FINALLY did some research into gas grilling

I would agree, however having a bottom one built into the grill is a close second.
 
I own 3 TEC infrared grills (a Patio 2 , a Sterling and a Sterling 2 FR) and they are great for grilling steaks and chops.
They sell dirt cheap because nobody seems to know what they are - so they sit on FBM until it's ridiculously cheap.
My latest acquisition was the Sterling for $75.

I have seen some used IR grills for about $200 on FBM. There was a Broilmaster not too far, but I was wondering how low they can go because you don't want to always seer something. Could you let us know how they do on "regular" slower indirect / direct cooks? Thanks

My experience is they don't do slow or indirect well if at all.
 
I think it is better to have the IR on one side but not the entire grilling surface. I think Broilmaster offered that. With one regular gas burner on and the food over the other side and using a smoker box, the Broilmaster works a lot like a PK charcoal grill.

My mother-in-law had a TEC Sterling NG grill on her deck that she inherited from the previous owner of the house. I really hated it compared to my Genesis 1000. It really only had two temps, too hot and incinerate your food hot. It was well constructed and was in great shape but was terrible at cooking food. I could make it work but it took constant vigilance on my part to keep it from ruining whatever I was cooking. It just wasn't a good grill. Good for you if you have been able to master those things because I think they are terrible, overpriced junk.
