TEC makes this list as the top Infrared Grill. These guys were the inventors of the infrared grill (over 40 years ago).

It is offered in the Patio and Sterling Patio. The difference between the two is the hood.

The Patio II 44" Grill features two 100% infrared burners. This technology is the only of its kind. It smokes, sears, and barbecues slow and low. Will reach temps as low as 200 degrees. The biggest disadvantage of the grill line is the availability of complementary products for your outdoor kitchen. If you do not need but storage and a refrigerator... Then Go TEC!

• Manufactured in the USA
• No one does infrared better
• Rapid Preheat 0-900 degrees in ten min
• Amazing customer service
