General
Depending on your model, the grill section
consists of a large cast iron burner or burners,
information
a series of stainless steel heat baffles, a bed of
natural lava rocks or ceramic briquettes, or
Gourmet Radiant™ Trays and a porcelain
enameled heat retaining grill rack(s).
Each burner is rated at 15,000 BTU for
24"models.
Each burner is rated at 20,000 BTU for
27" , 36" and 48" models.
Below each burner is a stainless steel heat
baffle (on some models) which reflects usable
heat upward into the cooking area and
reduces the temperature of the drip pan
below (on some models).
The cast iron grill burner encompasses the
entire cooking area and is top ported to
operate cooler and last longer.
On some models, the burners in the cooking
area are side ported.
Above the burner(s) on 24" models are two
stainless steel radiant tray(s) which support
ceramic briquettes and protect the grill burner
ports from blockage.
The Gourmet Radiant™ Trays (on some
models) protect the grill burner ports from
blockage on some 27" , 36" and 48" models.
Gourmet
Some grills are supplied with Gourmet
Radiant™ Trays. They are uniquely shaped
Radiant
™
and effectively distribute the heat from the
Trays
burners evenly across the grill area.
(on some models)
Flare ups are minimized because the Gourmet
Radiant™ Trays quickly redirect grease down
to the drip pan before it can begin to burn.

The intense heat produced by this system
produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices
are brought to the surface of the food and
caramelized.
