TEC Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Propane Gas Grill - PFR2LP

Our take on the Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Propane Gas Grill

The TEC Patio FR 44" is a built-in propane grill that cooks entirely with infrared energy. Two 30,000 BTU stainless steel burners sit beneath radiant glass panels, and the setup is described as giving even heat across the 592 square inch surface while nearly eliminating flare-ups. Temperatures reportedly range from about 200 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers low-heat smoking through searing. U-shaped grates are meant to leave restaurant-style sear marks, and electronic ignition starts the burners.

This model suits people who want a fixed outdoor kitchen grill and cook with propane. A stainless heat zone separator lets you hold two temperatures at once, which helps when preparing different foods together. Before buying, confirm that your counter cutout can fit a 44-inch built-in unit and that propane is your intended fuel. Also check the manufacturer's installation guidance for your setup.

About the Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Propane Gas Grill

Newly improved from TEC, the Patio FR series of grills is back and better than ever! Featuring an innovative grilling system capable of cooking from a searing hot 900 degrees Fahrenheit, down to a low 200 degrees, great for low-heat smoking, searing, and everything in between. The TEC Patio FR 44-inch propane gas grill cooks with 100 percent infrared energy with no hot or cold spots, eliminating hot air and reducing moisture loss in food by up to 35 percent.

Two fuel efficient 30,000 BTU burners use less fuel than other grills, saving you money on gas. Convenient electronic ignition supplies a reliable spark to ignite the burners safely. TEC uses a patented flare-proof stainless steel infrared burner system combined with a radiant glass emitter panel, resulting in tender, juicy, charbroil flavored food.

The position of the stainless steel cooking grates, radiant glass panels, and infrared burners creates even heat distribution across the cooking surface and virtually eliminates flare-ups. The 592 square inch cooking surface is covered by unique, U-shaped cooking grates which heat very quickly, delivering restaurant-style sear marks on your food. A stainless steel heat zone separator sits between the burners, which allows you to cook food simultaneously using different temperatures.

The separator prevents heat from spilling over to the other side, allowing you to cook using indirect heat. TEC Patio grills are capable of heating up to 900 degrees in 10 minutes with the hood closed, making long preheating times are a thing of the past.
