Who's into the new "infrared" grilling craze?

I thought this was a thing like a decade ago.

This is the OT. I have no idea what “the help” does to prepare my meals.

Pretty much every restaurant has a gas or electric salamander for broiling. I think electric IR would be terribly inefficient unless on a 240V circuit. Also, think I had an old Jenn-aire gas grill with an infrared rotisserie plate about 20 years ago so this isexactly new.

If you’re using an electric grill, save some money and just use your stovetop.

same goes for gas. it adds zero flavor.

Lump coal and wood. That’s the only way I roll.

I am a proponent of lump charcoal, but gd, that stuff has gotten expensive! A 20 lb bag of middle of the road lump is up to $36.

got a traditional smoker and a Traeger.
prefer the traditional one, but I did a full packer brisket for Christmas that I smoked 16 hours~ that turned out phenomenally. You just don't get as much smoke flavor as a traditional set up will get ya

dont blame ya
but the easiness of the traeger is hard to match. I literally just sit in my home office adjusting shite from my phone. no need to physically be out there.

Pellets... less smoke, less mess even though I dislike grilling

I do have some, I put those in with the brisket.
here is what it looked like, maybe like 8 or so hours in~

yeah, I can do the same with my Recteq. I was answering the OP. Charcoal. Nothing beats charcoal for flavor. I do love the ease of "high fence" cooking on my pellet grill, tho.

The only correct way….
Everything else is subpar.
