From searing steaks to smoking turkeys, this high-end grilling machine is the pinnacle of outdoor cooking

The grill market has evolved and changed dramatically in the intervening years. Today, there are dozens of companies manufacturing grills using the technology Thermal Engineering Corporation (TEC) developed back in 1978. What hasn’t changed is their commitment to research and development, to improvement and innovation. They continue to obsolete what they have previously invented with new and better technology. TEC’s first customers are still cooking on their very first grills that we're manufactured almost 40 years ago. That’s because they build grills to last a lifetime.

TEC’S infrared technology manufactures the only grill that cooks with 100% infrared energy. They’ve totally eliminated the hot air associated with grilling, so food retains more of its own natural essence and comes off the grill with unparallel juiciness and a distinctive charbroiled flavor. You can literally taste the difference. The radiant glass panels below the cooking grates are the secret to TEC’s juicy charbroiled flavor. They block rising hot air from the burners, so it never reaches the food to dry it out or ignite food drippings. So you’ll rarely have a flare-up on a TEC grill.

Traditional Gas Grill - 0% Infrared & 100% Hot Air 

• Traditional gas grills cook with 100% hot air, which robs food of its own natural juices
• Food begins to dry out and becomes tough, and  even shrinks
• The convective burners in these grills cannot reach the searing temperatures of infrared grills
• They heat up and cook much slower, and also heat the grates unevenly, producing hot and cold spots

TEC's Old Infrared Technology - 35% Infrared & 65% Hot Air

• Infrared grills sold by other companies use TEC’s old ceramic infrared burners that cook with 35% infrared energy and 65% hot air
• Hot air dries out food as it cooks, which causes it to become tough and shrink
• It also causes food drippings to ignite, creating flare-ups that char food
• These grills do not heat the cooking grates evenly
• They cannot turn down to the lower temperatures needed to cook delicate foods or to smoke or barbecue low and slow

TEC's New Infrared Technology - 100% Infrared Cooking

• TEC manufactures the only grill that cooks with 100% infrared energy
• They’ve totally eliminated the hot air associated with grilling, so food retains more of its own natural essence
• Food comes off the grill with unparallel juiciness and a distinctive charbroiled flavor
• You can literally taste the difference!
