Grilling Tips TruSear™ Infrared Grilling Tips Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Smoker Box Using the smoker box feature intensifies the flavor by adding smoke to the grilling process. The additional smoke creates a “cloud” around the food which permeates meats and vegetables for added smoky flavor. In order to use the smoker box, remove the last set of stainless steel grids and briquette tray on the right hand side of the grill.
