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

Fantastic. Takes a bit of trial and error. I purchased a grill cart to place this on. I cooked three steaks sous vide and seared them on eat a time, on different nights to test the process. By the third time, I think I have it locked in just how I like them. Perfect steaks each time since then. There is a learning curve since everyone likes their steaks differently. I sous vide rib eyes or NY T bones at 137F. Cool in the fridge overnight, sitting in its own juices. Take out, pat dry, season again, and sear at the highest level for 15 seconds at a time, turning and flipping every 15 seconds until the perfect crust is achieved. I also grill veggies on the lowest tier, and they come out perfectly. I use a large aluminum pan (the disposable ones) to catch the drippings for easy cleanup. I recommend!! Steakhouse quality steaks at home.

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.

This thing is the bomb. First thing I cooked was an almost 2” thick tomahawk steak. 90 min Sous vide at 128. Sear on high about 2 min per side, to internal temp of 131. Perfect. You won’t regret buying this, excellent quality for the price

Very cool grill. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. Very happy with this product ! Great price point also.

Would have been a 5 but the first time I put a battery in the igniter, it would not work. Maybe the battery was backwards. I took it out and it burned my finger tips. The outside of the battery was blistering up. I had put the battery in correctly. I took flashlight and looked in the battery hole. I saw a very long spring at the bottom. Long enough that if you screwed the battery cap down all the way, the spring could be pushed over and short out. Ok, with the cap just barely screwed on. They should have used a holder for a AA instead of a AAA. Or, a shorter spring, Or both. But I love the way it cooks steaks and agree with all the other reviews about how fantastic it is.

I bought this for my boyfriend he loves it! He said it cooks his steak super fast in just a couple minutes and zucchini super fast. He thinks this thing is amazing. It gets very very hot We got the cover and the stand to go with it . He even made little pizzas he said they cook in a minute or 2. He loves this thing. Ps... Before you use it for first time you have to let it run and burn off the oil till its done smoking.

Good quality, I cooked rare t bones, I put some drops of liquid smoke on them before I cooked because I could sear them so fast the cooking environment was too sanitary.. I cooked a load of bacon in the bottom drip tray on the low dial setting, good results. I did a manual lighting test. Wedge a little piece of paper towel on the wand provided with the unit, hold the flame under the thing that looks like a pilot light push the knob down good and it starts, keep pushing down for 5 seconds and it on.

Bought this as a gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it! Steaks taste awesome!
