TEC Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Natural Gas Grill - PFR2NT

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

The TEC Patio FR 44-inch is a built-in natural gas grill that uses infrared heat rather than hot air to cook. Its burner and glass emitter system can reach temperatures from about 200 degrees up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it can handle low, slow cooking as well as high-heat searing. The 592 square inch cooking surface uses U-shaped stainless steel grates that heat quickly and leave restaurant-style sear marks, while a heat zone separator between the two burners lets you cook over different temperatures at once.

This grill will appeal to shoppers who want precise temperature range and strong sear marks in an outdoor kitchen setup. Because it is designed as a built-in natural gas unit, it is worth confirming that your space is set up for natural gas and built-in installation before you buy.

About the Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Natural 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 natural 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.
