TEC Sterling Patio FR 44" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Cabinet W/ Red Knobs - STPFR2NTCAB + HW0841 (2)

Our take on the Sterling Patio FR 44" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Cabinet W/ Red Knobs - STPFR2NTCAB + HW0841 (2)

This freestanding natural gas grill from TEC uses infrared heat rather than hot air, which the brand says produces even heat across the cooking surface with no hot or cold spots. Its two 30,000 BTU burners can reach temperatures from a searing 900 degrees Fahrenheit down to a gentle 200 degrees, so it handles both high-heat searing and low, slow cooking. The 592 square inch cooking area uses U-shaped grates that heat quickly and produce sear marks, and a stainless steel divider between the burners lets you cook at two different temperatures at once. Electronic ignition lights the burners at the push of a button.

This grill suits cooks who want a large cooking surface and flexibility between searing and low-temperature cooking, and who are comfortable with a freestanding unit on a stainless cabinet. Before buying, confirm that a 44-inch footprint fits your outdoor space and that you have a natural gas connection, since this model runs on natural gas.

About the Sterling Patio FR 44" Infrared Natural Gas Grill On Stainless Cabinet W/ Red Knobs - STPFR2NTCAB + HW0841 (2)

Freestanding Gas Grills. 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 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 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.
