Know before you buy
The ceramic briquettes are designed to provide even heat distribution across the entire grilling surface. They also help vaporize drippings to create that classic smoky flavor while minimizing flare-ups.
The ProSear 2 burner uses intense infrared heat to reach high temperatures quickly, which is ideal for achieving a professional-grade sear on steaks and chops. It provides a level of heat intensity that standard burners cannot match.
Yes, the grill features a dual-position rotisserie system powered by a dedicated 14,000 BTU rear infrared burner. This setup is specifically engineered to provide consistent, even heat for roasting large cuts of meat or whole poultry.
Yes, because this model features integrated halogen grill lights, blue LED control illumination, and a hot surface ignition system, it requires an electrical connection to function properly.
The smoker box is designed to hold wood chips, which smolder under the heat of the grill to infuse your food with authentic wood-fired flavor. It is a convenient way to add depth to your cooking without needing a separate smoker.
The 36-inch dimension refers to the width of the grill unit. When planning your outdoor kitchen island, be sure to consult the official installation manual for the specific cutout dimensions required to ensure a proper fit.
