Received a Char-Broil Quantum Infrared grill from my wife an kids for my birthday and we christened the thing last night. I went to the local butcher picked up some 1 1/2" Strips and Rib-eyes. Smoked a Alec Bradley Family Blend before dinner with a few Sam Adams summer beers thrown in the mix, Malbec for the wife, and a Double Chateau Fuente SG with a shot of Woodford with two ice cubes after dinner.

I am blessed......🇨🇮

How does the Infrared cook. Just asking. I saw one but, opted for the Weber Genesis.

Very nice, congrats on the new member of the family...

Infrared cooks at a high heat around 700 degrees. Using the frequencies just beyond visible heat on the light spectrum. It is light we can not see, but our bodies(and food) sure can detect. Traditional grills cook with hot air [sarcasm] (most of us should know what that is based on some of the responses to these boards)and that can and will dry out food....

Infrared causes the molecules to vibrate thereby creating the heat that cooks the food.

Never thought I would eat food that vibrates.....LOL...there I said it before one ya'll said it!

On the other hand, this grill sears the meat quickly and seals in the juices and flavor giving the meat a real nice crust and almost charcoal flavor. from what I understand, the grill surface will season and become better over time. All I did wash brush the steaks with oil and kosher salt. Didn't need any steak sauce. The Infrared system is what all the high end steakhouses use.

Haha! I was a charcoal fanatic until Friday...I was debating getting rid of the charcoal grill I have. May have to convert it into a smoker....I can put wood chips directly on the grates of the infrared. I am going to try that next! I am loving the Infrared. I was going to buy one of those dual gas/charcoal models but, the wife brought the Char-Broiler. Love my wife!

From the title of the thread, I thought maybe you had been to the dentist.

Been looking at these, but didnt want to take a chance on it not being any good. Sounds like it works pretty dam good. The brochures that come with the grills dont give the kind/amount of info you just did.

See, this forum aint just for gars...luv it. =d> =d> =d>

If you add a review of a cigar or two, it works! LOL!

The information I posted came directly from the book that came with the grill. I did not give them credit!#-o HAHA....Char-Broil rocks!

You can cook indirectly, directly, or slow on these also. The temp is adjustable from 100-700F... It takes a little getting used to. Only down side is that now, I can not light a cigar and get even half way through it before the meat is done! grilling was always a good excuse to light one up....I guess I will suffer with relaxing afterwards....🌫
