Know before you buy
The DiamondCut grates are laser-cut from 5/16-inch thick stainless steel, which provides superior heat retention and creates professional-grade sear marks. Their unique design also ensures even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
Yes, the grill requires a standard electrical connection to power the motion-activated Stadium Lights, the LED control panel lighting, and the whisper-quiet rotisserie motor system.
The patent-pending Horizon Hood features spring-assisted hinges that allow it to open with minimal effort and hold its position at any angle. This design also helps with optimal heat circulation and keeps the hood from feeling heavy when you need to check on your food.
Yes, the multi-purpose ceramic infrared burner is designed for rotisserie cooking, but it also functions as a high-heat searing or finishing burner. It provides the intense, direct heat necessary to achieve a perfect crust on steaks or to caramelize glazes.
The Trellis Burners are designed for high-performance, even heat across the main grilling area, while the variable ceramic infrared sear burner is specifically engineered to reach higher temperatures quickly for precise searing.
The grill features a flip-to-clean radiant tray system. This allows you to easily access and maintain the components beneath the grates, making the cleanup process significantly faster than traditional grill designs.
