BIG HORN OUTDOORS Infrared Portable Propane Grill – 1500°F Steak Broiler, Sear Station with Pizza Stone, Salamander BBQ Grill, Small Stainless Steel Gas Grill

So far, I have only cooked four of the best ribeyes I have ever had, but if you were to steal this from me today or if I broke it somehow this evening I would order another one later this evening, even at twice the price. I don't write reviews unless something is either outstanding or horrible.I don't use the racks as they were intended. I use one of them to support a 1/4 sheet pan, lined with foil and a dedicated stainless steel rack so clean up is simply scrubbing that rack a bit and throwing the foil away. The sheet pan and the griller stay clean with this set up. The racks that come with the cooker are better looking than the racks I have for other grilling equipment, mainly because they are heavy stainless steel, but I believe that the wire rack in the foil lined pan is an easier clean up and will continue to cook this way until it makes more sense to use the provided racks for a specific type of food. I use the cooker's rack like I do oven racks. I've charred three halved zucchinis with the steaks on two occasions and I am absolutely blown away by the flavor of everything.I marinate my steaks for a half hour in cold beer and then pat them dry and sprinkle with a combination of brown sugar, seasoned salt, and black pepper. I then let them sit at room temp for 45 minutes and then broil them in this cooker for about 4 minutes, turning the steaks every sixty seconds until charred to my liking. The fat chars very quickly - in less than a minute - but I continue cooking at full blast about 2.5-inches from the heat source on the fourth rack down from the top until it is more evenly charred and then probe to check for temp - it's perfect somehow each time at 135 degrees. I brush with melted butter, season with fresh coarse black pepper and cover with foil to rest five minutes. Such a great flavor and oh so tender. Perfect steak.Prior to this cooker, I would never think of using a gas grill - only grill over charcoal and wood - but the char produced here rivals anything that charcoal or wood has been able to produce and I believe it's the char that brings the flavor I am really loving. I may cold-smoke some steaks prior to broiling later but as good as these have been, I wonder if I even need to. Thought about sous vide as I have done it the past prior to searing, with results like this in four minutes, what's the point? These steaks are more tender than sous vide and searing.The zucchini I cook along side the steaks on the same rack/pan or on a similar separate set up and while they are perfectly charred they are a bit al-dente but perfect to me. I season them simply with olive oil and sea salt. I've since searched the internets for foods that are better when charred and expect to do a lot more with this cooker than just steaks and zucchini although if I find that all I could ever cook properly is ribeyes and zucchini I will do it like it were my job for as long as I am able. I love this thing and I only wish I'd found this style of griller years ago. It is so easy and clean to char from above rather than below, where flare ups can make things trickier.I plan to try chicken, fish, brussels sprouts, peppers, and green beans. Maybe pre-cooked cobs of corn? My mind races. I'm glad I saved some money compared to similar units because I jokingly may go broke buying meat to cook in this excellent product. I wish Big Horn Outdoors sold a cover for it so I could just leave it out in the weather, but because it is so lightweight and easy to carry around, I will continue to bring it out of the garage and then put it away after cooling. I will take care of it because I want to keep using it for a long time. Please get one for yourself and then write a review describing your excellent ideas of what can be cooked in it.One final note - the unit is packaged so thoughtfully. They figured out how to ship it without damage, unlike a lot of BBQ equipment I've had shipped to myself. I hesitate to buy grilling equipment online because of some horrible experiences, but with this one you can expect it to arrive in good condition.

Well constructer, easy to assemble. Easy to start, produces lots of heat quickly. Sear/char done in a flash. For rare Sous Vide products produces perfect sear/char without that gray ring grill searing always seems to. Easy to go from light sear to blackened char if you prefer burnt ends flavor. Oh and uses next to no propane. I am inclined to think it might even keep up with a commercial salamander, for a smaller restaurant. So far I am well pleased.

Well-built; easy to use; cooks fast. Stainless steel is easy to clean -- but even better if you cook in a cast iron pan (especially for burgers!). Thicker cuts work best, especially if you like charred outside + rare inside. My order was damaged in shipping, but it was replaced promptly with great customer service.

This thing is amazing for the money. I grabbed it for $159 worth every penny. I use it at least three times a week. Steak never comes out as good just grilling iron a traditional gas grill it doesn’t get hot enough to sear it like the Big Horn does. I have cooked raw steaks seasoned with salt only and they come out great but I prefer to use refrigerated Sous vide steaks for that perfect doneness and put the steak in for 30-45 seconds each side. So I saw the Big Horn infrared grill after I started looking at the $1,500 ones that was just a little unrealistic for my needs. I saw this one on sale for $159 usually $199 and the smaller one for $129. After agonizing over the potential endless arguments with my wife over buying another toy I bit the bullet and got the bigger one.My steaks are 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and cook them souse vide for 3 hours at 115F then toss them in the refrigerator overnight. When I put them in the Big Horn it is 45 seconds on one side let it sit a minute the 45 seconds on the other for the most tender medium rear steak with a beautiful caramelized crust. My wife likes her steak medium barely any red/pink. It’s 90 seconds each side and let it sit at bottom of grill while I do mine. I have had it a month now and I usually just leave the grill in for five minutes after done and it burns the grease to ash. I wrote to the manufacturer because they seemed a little discolored and they sent me replacement grates within a few days to my door. Great product service and awesome grill. You will love it. I am surprised there are not more of these type of products it makes quick work of outdoor grilling.

This Grill is a perfect broiler for giving your meat some serous color. I love the intense heat and the adjustable racks.I wish they made a wider model. It is much easier than using my ovens gas broiler. It has real heat in spades.I only gave it 4 stars because of two reasons. The racks, although nice and solid, do not slide in and out with out a fair amount of effort. I gave up trying to slide them to check the meat temps. I bought a shallow cast iron pan with 1"sides. Hugh improvement, the pan slides effortlessly over the SS racks. I lost a little size, but nothing worth mentioning. My biggest complaint, the grease splatters from pulling the meat out to check temp or color. It splashes onto the front of the broiler, and gets baked in instantly. I have been unable to remove these burn stains. It make the broiler look like I have been using it for years, when in fact I have only used 4 times.
