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.

Bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it! I did good.He uses it for his steaks and he even did a lovely garlic shrimp.The heat level is what he wanted to get that char.We haven’t done a pizza as yet but soon.It also is small enough to put away nicely and get out of the way as we don’t like to see appliances out so it fits great under a counter.

I buy a lot of stuff but rarely write a review and hardly ever go through the process of posting pictures. BUT this thing is that awesome. I have been eating ribeyes 5-6 times per week and this thing is the best. I have a flat top and an infrared Napoleon grill but nothing compares to the horsepower of this thing. Doesn’t only cook two steaks at a time? Yes? Do I care? Nope. Buying a second one for the beach house because it’s just too good!!!

I have all the toys for steaks. Sous vide+torch, charcoal grill, gas grill, cast iron/stainless pans, etc., etc.None of them comes close to what this machine is capable of. Incredibly consistent and easy to clean. If it were to break today I'd order another one.

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 NEVER write reviews…. BUY IT!It’s worth it. Hands down the best thing I’ve bought off of Amazon. Easy to clean, versatile, and well made. Bought it for $179 and it’s fantastic! I have made some of the best steaks I have ever had!

Honestly bought this because of the influence of Dr. Paul Saladino cooking his meat this way. This way of cooking doesn’t disappoint and it’s FAST, which is something I like (you got a well cooked steak in less than 5 minutes) — I also sous vide then toss in a hot pan, but this is even faster.The assembly was a breeze. If you use, as you should, the electric (1x AAA not included) fire starter, you won’t need to install that manual fire starter it comes with — that part confused me as to where to attach it to be honest.After looking at all the reviews here, it’s mostly been positive. EVERYONE seems to love this with no regrets, so buy yours IMMEDIATELY before they run out.I took the advice of some reviewers here. I bought my choice cut half inch Costco ribeye. It was $14/lb — these are better than the “select” cut you’ll find in most grocery stores.One reviewer said they rested the steak at room temp for about 30-45 minutes then rubbed it with brown sugar, salt and pepper. I’ve never had brown sugar on a steak, and it was a nice touch.I cooked it as follows: high heat setting (cranked to the max). Preheated for 4 minutes with the rack inside (four slots from the top) — not sure if this is necessary but I turned it on then went to season the steak (yes, I seasoned it before throwing it in the broiler). Set your timer for 3 minutes (medium rare). Put your steak in and flip every minute or minute and a half.3 minutes. This will be medium rare.Between 4-5 minutes gets you well done.Excellent product. Packaged well. Priced perfectly at $150 imo.Put foil on your drip tray, so you won’t have to clean up.

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.
