Is it worth the money? Looks pretty slick, but the price = DAYAMN!
Anyone have a TEC grill?

Lowes is selling these infared grills now for about half the cheapest TEC one, not sure what the quality of cooking is with them.
I looked at the ones in Lowes today, it's basically a bunch of pans with small holes in them under the grates, must diffuse the heat evenly and prevent flare ups.....until they rust thru.

I think TEC uses ceramic plates with a very small, evenly diffused flame underneath and use the heat from the hot ceramic to cook the food. Sounds like a good way to do it. I remember seeing on their website that the plates are replaceable too when they get old.
Still alot of money. For a quarter the cost, I could easily mod a propane grill to cook with infrared heat.
you really could, a piece of stainless steel plate and drill a s***load of holes, it'll do the same thing.
I have a friend who has one. He has a love and hate relationship with it. It works fantastic when it is clean. Once grease or sauces drip onto the plates it starts to lose performance. Now he only cooks steaks and similar on it. Has an old charcoal grill for anything that requires a sauce, especially bbq.
flare ups are a must in good grilling....
Like flaming or just keeping it under the lid?
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have one with the ceramic burners and had the same problem.. I used brake cleaner copiously on the burners, waited a day and fired it up and the burners were restored to as new.
