I won a free grill

[newbiesmoker]

I heard on the local radio station about a contest. Miller lite was giving away 100 weber grills in a 100 days. Well I entered, then last week i recieved a phone call stating I had won.

I figured it was a scam. But it was delievered today.

I was suprised to see it was a Char-Broil Quantum series instead of a weber but the price was right.

I got it all put together today going to fire it up tomorrow(I hope).

I have never used a infrared grill before, is it pretty much the same as any other gas grill?

Thanks for any info, Brian

First of all, congrats on the free new grill! That's awesome!

Second, basic info on IR grills from Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_grill)

"Infrared grills work by igniting propane or natural gas to superheat a ceramic tile, causing it to emit infrared radiation that cooks food. The benefits are that heat is uniformly distributed across the cooking surface and that temperatures reach over 500 °C (900 °F), allowing users to sear items quickly.

Infrared cooking differs from other forms of grilling, which use hot air to cook the food. Instead of heating the air, infrared radiation heats the food directly. The benefits of this are a reduction in pre-heat time and less drying of the food. Grilling enthusiasts claim food cooked on an infrared grill tastes similar to food from char-grills. This is because charcoal, when burned, emits infrared radiation, the same as an infrared grill, but the difference is that char-grills cook with only about 25% infrared heat and the remaining 75% from convection (hot air). Proponents say that food cooked on infrared grills seems juicier. Also, infrared grills have the advantages of instant ignition, better heat control, and a uniform heat source.

This technology was previously patented, but the patents expired in 2000 and more companies have started offering infrared grills at lower prices."

Congrats. Does Weber make Char-Broil, or vice-versa

 

[newbiesmoker]

I am not sure if Weber makes char-broil or not.

you can go to there website & they have a tutorial video on that paticular grill. Its not like a gas grill at all. It cooks very fast & high!! I have a friend who has one & we have a hard time tryin to keep the temps down so we won't burn things. Very nice grill though. Im so jealous
