How TRU-Infrared Works

All Char-Broil TRU-Infrared grills generate a minimum of 65 percent infrared heat, which is evenly spread across the entire cooking surface to cook food — without drying — at temperatures that range from simmer to sear.

Unlike traditional gas grills that use convective heat (hot air) to cook food, Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared grills limit the hot air flow and use natural, radiant heat to cook food directly without drying. While convective heat destroys food’s moisture barrier, infrared heat penetrates it without drying and locks in natural juices and flavors. Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared cooking system virtually eliminates flare-ups while producing very even heat (no hot or cold spots).

the absolute BEST grill for the money! Had this grill for a year so far and I wanna address some points people brought up:”Cleaning it is a pain” – Not really. In fact, it’s pretty easy since the grates come off and the infrared panels come out too. I clean it after every use and is very easy. I could see it becoming a pain if you: use lots of sweet/syrupy sauces and NEVER clean it. Then yes, things could get crusty. If you don’t have time to clean it after EVERY use, just leave it on high heat for about 10 min after cooking and all the crud brushes off pretty easily.”It Rusts” – Still no problem here. If you don’t clean it, let it sit in the rain, and never treat the grates, yes, you will get rust just like every grill. If you take care of the grates by wiping them/spraying them with vegetable oil after every other use, they will hold up just fine. Same with the infrared panels. If you keep your grill outside…clean it, oil it, COVER IT.”Flair-ups still happen” – No. They…

I am a grill fanatic so when it was time to pick out a new one, research was a borderline obsession of mine. I settled on this IR grill from Char-Broil.The major, most important thing to consider about this grill is that it cooks much more quickly than your standard LP grills and is a lot more like charcoal in that sense. You need to “relearn” grilling times to an extent but once you do, you’ll have the best grilled foods you could possibly imagine! Here are the things I love most about it and really helped make my mind up about this one over its competitors.Best Features:-Temp gauges at the grilling surface: I’ve never seen this on any other grills before and helps to keep an eye on the temperature where it matters: at the surface. You don’t measure your stove top temps at the hood, do you? Exactly.-Folding shelves: this allows the grill to become extremely compact and makes for easy storage out on the porch. It also makes it an ideal…
