Char-Broil Gas Grills

Char-Broil is committed to providing affordable innovation to the average consumer without the hefty price tag. With some of their latest grilling models, Char-Broil offers pocket-friendly options for backyard chefs. BBqers can now reasonably afford to ‘upgrade’ their grill to include infrared grilling to enhance the outdoor cooking experience and results.

Not long ago, infrared cooking was found only in restaurants or maybe on professional-grade grills. But those sold for thousands of dollars. The attraction to infrared cooking is that it delivers superior taste and efficiency. Char-Broil wanted to offer this feature to enhance their customers’ grilling experience.

Char-Broil recently conducted a survey and the results showed that infrared technology is at the heart of a grilling revolution. Of those surveyed, 78 percent said there seemed to be a difference between infrared heat and the convection heat typically found in their grill or oven.

The goal was to replicate the even radiant temperatures of charcoal to seal in flavor and moisture but without those constant charcoal flare-ups. The new Char-Broil grills proudly acclaim all the advantages chefs have come to love when cooking with infrared. : The objective: juicy, flavorful grilled foods that don’t dry out; the ease of using wood chips for a rich, smoky flavor; and effortless self-cleaning to simplify maintenance. To top that lengthy list, Char-Broil desired to engineer the gas grill to increase energy efficiency – efficiencies in the amount of propane used and also in personal time savings.

What is radiant heat? It’s all about heat transfer.

Infrared is a natural form of heat transfer. An example is the warm rays of the sun you feel on your face are transferred to your skin by infrared heat waves. Infrared heat is used in cooking and has been the secret to professional grilling at the finest steakhouses for over a quarter century because of its ability to sear the outside and cook without hot air.  Thus, locking-in foods’ own juices and flavors.

Being highly efficient, infrared heats the food, not the air.  In fact, no air movement is required for the heat transfer.  This is accomplished by harnessing different wave lengths to transfer heat to the molecules.  In fact, infrared and microwave are forms of radiant heat used in cooking.

Microwaves penetrate the food and in doing so ‘excite’ the water molecules.  Unfortunately, this usually leaves the food dry and tasteless.

Infrared heat waves are more common than you may imagine.  Infrared grills are used at America’s finest steakhouses.  And here’s a little tidbit:  about half of the heat generated by a well prepared charcoal fire is infrared heat!  You may have been using infrared heating without even knowing it.

The Char-Broil RED model accomplishes these infrared goals in good order. It features a stylish front red panel and a new u-shaped infrared emitter that evenly distributes 100 percent infrared heat. This infrared emitter effectively eliminates hot or cold spots on the grill.

One of the best selling Char-Broil model is the Char-Broil Red 463250509. This Char-Broil model is a medium-size grill with three main burners providing infrared heating and cast iron grates. It also has a burner on the side. Total output for this gas grill is 38,000 BTUs an hour.

Overall, this is gas grill has proven to be an excellent medium-size grill that provides efficient heating evenness of the main cooking area and very good low-temperature grilling as well. Plus there’s ample usable space on the study cart.
