I am in the market for a new grill, and I am a bit overwhelmed.

I have a regular POS Propane grill that I use for dogs and burgers, and I also have a Big Green Egg that I use for steaks, chicken, smoking, etc.

I now want something that is infrared.

Anyone have a TEC or something?

the only problem I see in asking friends about their $3K grill is pride of ownership and them wanting to make sure you don't think they made a $3K mistake, anonymous reviews are best imo.

if you'd like to try something different w/indirect heat think about the Cobb Cooker. it's fired by charcoal or w/the Cobb briquets they sell. There are too many links to post, Google it and select your own. It's a small grill and so it doesn't cost too much, complete set of inserts & cooking surface options will cost as little as $300, if it's too small you can likely afford to buy & fire up 2 of them w/out breaking a sweat, pocket change budget.


I just put my smokey joe away for the winter.......

Shopping for a new grill myself (my Xmas present:biggrin:) and I saw grills with infrared elements at Lowes last week. Forget the manufacturer, but it was a well known name.

I have no idea how well they work. Have you tried getting the grill really close to the coals on your BGE or are you looking for speed to cook temp?

I like the BGE for low temp slow cooking.

I want a infrared, so I can really sear the shit out of some beef.

Woops. Wow! Those TEC grills are like Lamborghinis. Most expensive grill I've ever seen.

nothin beats charcoal...its all i use

Nothing beats lump charcoal, but I grill year round 3-4 nights a week. Sometimes gas is just easier, quicker and doesn't add smoky flavor to food that doesn't require that enhancement.

I ended up buying a Brinkman from Home Depot and it sucks. Shoddy construction and just won't get hot enough. It has a "sear" burner that doesn't get any hotter than the other 4 burners.

I bought one pre-assembled and I took it back within a week because I thought they botched the assembly. Exchanged it for one in the box, brought it home and assembled/hot rodded it (mostly mods to make it more rigid) and it doesn't work any better than the first one.

I remember not too long ago when $200 bought you a decent gas grill. Now they make everything out of shitty stainless and twice the price gets you a shitty grill.

Holla! Infared looks sweet... but I rock propane.

For those that stumble on this thread I bough a Charbroil grill 5 years ago and never covered it, moved it several times to new houses... and it has held up really well. It still looks good and performs well.

I went for the Type of grill that has changeable orifices and It has saved me.

I have lived in houses where I could plug it into natural gas right out of the wall three times and I've been in houses where I need propane three times. This grill can do both.

Infared is something i have to go read about now... damn it.

aww I thought this was gonna be where everyone posts pix of their grilling masterpieces!

I love grilling food and do it >3 times a week, all through the winter too. Charcoal all the way!

Made this on a stoned whim. Teriyaki chicken and beef kebabs; for the shrimp I made a Jack Daniels Honey whiskey and pineapple/agave/brown sugar glaze (hence my beverage for that night :biglaugh:). Made up the recipe on the fly and it was pretty damn good. Some mashed 'taters and broccoli with some melted cheese on top for good measure. MmmMmm.

A good thick steak gets a bourbon soak for a few hours then gets a charcoal grilling. Last night brats and gas. Thick chops get the charcoal too. Yum Did I mention hickory chips?
