TEC Sterling Patio FR 44" Built-In Infrared Propane Gas Grill - STPFR2LP

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

The TEC Sterling Patio FR 44-inch is a built-in propane grill that cooks with infrared energy, which the brand says helps avoid hot and cold spots and keeps more moisture in food. Its temperature range runs from a high of 900 degrees Fahrenheit down to 200 degrees, so it can handle searing as well as low, slow cooking. Two 30,000 BTU burners, electronic ignition, and a 592 square inch cooking surface with U-shaped stainless steel grates round out the setup, along with a divider between the burners for cooking at two temperatures at once.

This grill will appeal to people who want a built-in outdoor cooking station and value versatile heat control, from quick sears to gentle smoking. Before buying, confirm that a propane setup suits your space and that you have room for a 44-inch unit, since it is designed to be built into an outdoor installation.

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

Newly improved from TEC, the Sterling Patio FR series of grills is 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 Sterling 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 Sterling 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.
