How TRU-Infrared Works

All Char-Broil TRU-Infrared grills generate a minimum of 65 percent infrared heat, which is evenly spread across the entire cooking surface to cook food -- without drying -- at temperatures that range from simmer to sear.

Unlike traditional gas grills that use convective heat (hot air) to cook food, Char-Broil s TRU-Infrared grills limit the hot air flow and use natural, radiant heat to cook food directly without drying. While convective heat destroys food s moisture barrier, infrared heat penetrates it without drying and locks in natural juices and flavors. Char-Broil s TRU-Infrared cooking system virtually eliminates flare-ups while producing very even heat (no hot or cold spots).
