TEC Patio FR 26" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Pedestal - PFR1NTPEDS

Our take on the Patio FR 26" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Pedestal

The TEC Patio FR 26-inch is a freestanding natural gas grill built around an infrared cooking system rather than conventional flame-heated grates. Its radiant glass panel and stainless steel burners aim to spread heat evenly across the 296 square inch cooking surface, with the U-shaped grates designed to heat quickly and leave distinct sear marks. The unit can climb to very high temperatures for searing and also drop low enough for slow, low-heat cooking, and electronic ignition handles startup.

This grill will likely appeal to shoppers who want a dedicated searing setup and enjoy both high-heat and low-and-slow cooking. Before buying, confirm that you have a natural gas connection, since this model runs on natural gas, and check that the 26-inch footprint and the stainless pedestal stand fit your outdoor space.

About the Patio FR 26" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Pedestal

Freestanding Gas Grills. 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 26-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. The fuel efficient 30,000 BTU burner uses 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 296 square inch cooking surface is covered by unique, U-shaped cooking grates which heat very quickly, delivering restaurant-style sear marks on your food.

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. The need for a side burner is also eliminated because you can place your pots or pans on the cooking grids or radiant panels to heat and cook like on an indoor cooktop. Enjoy quick and easy cleanup, with a self-cleaning cooking surface that incinerates food and debris in 10-15 minutes while the grill is on high.
