TEC G-Sport FR Portable Infrared Natural Gas Grill - GSRNTFR

No joke; I bought an FR in 2008, and just this year after a good thorough cleaning am I at the point of having to replace the innards. My grill stood outside through 5 winters in Chicago, and has handled 9 winters in Pittsburgh (with the standard cover over it). you cannot go wrong with this grill.

I just bought the TEK sport for use in our 1 year long fifth wheel journey. This grill met and even exceeded expectations. I am very knowledgeable with grills and big smokers. We threw some sausage on for a first go. The grill at medium low was able to crisp the outside with the perfect charcoal-like taste. The inside was perfectly juicy and not dry. I am very impressed with this grill. Even at this price point (which is alot) is worth every penny. The quality of the materials is top of the line, heavy duty, thick stainless. I highly recommend the attachments that you can buy separately as well! The best part about this grill is that it is both commercial quality, but as a portable grill. You can use this baby at home and it will outperform most of your top of the line grills. Genius technology!!

Beautifully-made all 100% infrared grill. Made an outdoor table upon which to place it. Neighbors and the local BBQ Club are all jealous. having bought red or green "eggs", Traeger, Rec-tec, or Weber. Have only grilled for two weeks, but expect to get many years, if not decades, out of it. Tried Sous Vide Ribeye by doing high-level searing on the TEC. Made the most incredible steak ever! TEC, you guys are geniuses! (I majored in heat transfer at college). And BBQ Guys, you're super-easy to work with!

I am not a review type person, but felt compelled to write about this product. First, I was skeptical that this unit would be able to maintain temps with a lot of meat on it--- like its big brothers. Wrong-- Within 10 minutes it is ready to go at a measured 986 degrees, and it maintains it. It generates so much heat that you can see a tornado of smoke streaming off the meat into the sky, and yet, there is no fire! I don't know if it is because of this high heat that the steaks taste charbroiled, but they definitely taste much better than any gas grill I have ever used. They have the authentic taste of a charcoal grilled steak. If you "sous vide" steaks, you are going to love this unit. It grills the outside so fast that the temp of the steak is not affected. Here, at last, are high end restaurant quality steaks at home. Of course, if you finish a brisket or ribs from the smoker on the TEC you'll be pretty impressed by the results. I have used the TEC for about 6 months and can't conceive of finding anything better than this. I rotisserie chicken so I can't comment on the results of grilling whole chicken, but skinless breasts have the char taste I like and remain quite juicy.

Had this for a little over a week now. Have done most meats (chicken, chicken wings, Pork, ans Steak) and a little veggie cooking. Everything has turned out great. My father-in-law said his steak tasted better than the four star restaurant he ate at the previous week. Heats up very fast and gets very hot. Heat is controllable....this was very helpful when doing some of the wings and veggies. Very easy to clean thus far, although it is a little extra step, but no biggie thus far. Would and have recommend to my friends. So far I am singing the praises of TEC!

Well built and sturdy. My only frustration is that the flame blows out easily on even the lightest of wind days. I got the smoker accessory package but there no real way to use it because the flame blows out on low heat. I also bought the cover for this and it's a joke. There are no straps that tighten to keep it from blowing off so I have to use a block to hold it down.
