Well, I'll be honest, I've never cooked on one...but they are in the same price range as what you're looking at and I know we sell a good bit of them. Only had one guy bring his back bc he said it didn't work, when we opened it it was caked in gunk and filth. Guy never cleaned it and left it outside, so not really the grill's fault. Supposedly they are just like a standard gas grill but will not flare up at all. The only thing I can think of that's be different is you probably can't get as nice a char on your food as an open flame grill can get you.

I was just curious if you had looked at them. Don't let me complicate your search/decision

My dad had a TEC infrared and you could char the shite out of things. You can't slow cook anything, and you pretty much can't even walk away from it with food on it. It was s a searing machine.

I had read an article saying these infrared grills were the wave of the future for BBQ. But, then I haven't heard much about them since. They are great for steaks but like Gaston said, I understand they are difficult to cook slowly with them -- despite what the manufacturer says. My gut says I'm not enough of a BBQ connoisseur to use one properly so I'll probably stick with the more conventional grills.

The real complication is that I want a nice outdoor area but the prices on these built-in grills are ridiculous!
