I will admit, nothing beats a charcoal grill; however, an infrared grill is hands down the best way to grill red meat without the hour backyad ordeal. The high temperatures sear the meat and cook straight through for a 'hot' vs. luke warm medium rare steak. You have to learn how to grill again though, use a lot less dry rubs, etc. The grills also do a good job of keeping themselves clean and preventing flairup. Unfortunately a lot of BBQ companies have simply removed U shaped burners from their grills and replaced them with ceramic burners. If this burner is not positioned at an ideal level away from the food a dry outcome is the result. I have used many grills from TEC to Viking and have found that Solaire (Solaire Grills) obtains a great result, I think they actually formed from pieces of TEC engineers; and they make a great portable grill for tailgating, camping, etc. The technology has actually found a lot of uses in the restraurant business in the form of salimander buners. Most steak houses use this technology. As an added benefit, I have found that the infrared burner is great at starting the lump charcoal I use in my Primo (Kamado style BBQ) as well.
