The Char-Broil Red!

Flavor for you. The 100% infrared heat sears in flavor and keeps foods moist and juicy, not dried out. Simply drop wood chips through the grates and watch them start to smoke on the u. A wide temperature range for intense searing at the cooking surface down to slow-and-low barbequing and rotisserie cooking.

Infrared heat locks in moisture and flavor
Porcelain coated cast iron grates
Integrated push and turn electronic ignition
750 sq. In of cook surface with 3 stainless steel burners


The thing will get up to 700 degrees and with the way the U-Pan is set up you can use a wide variety of wood chips for flavor with minimal fuss.  Easy clean up too as you just brush away the cinders when you are done..

No flare ups either.

I can't wait to try this out tomorrow!!  :yahoo:

I just seasoned mine for the first time with a rack of ribs.

Nothing like sitting in the back yard grillin' with a cold beer in your hands as the sun sets a firey glow behind the Rockies.

Life is good.

It's a bouncing baby grill!

Running it for a bit at full temps to burn off the factory gunk and then trying a burger on it. :)

Do you have to season the grates  grills whatever first?

Nah, you just have to run it at max temp for about 15-20 minutes to burn off any oile or preservatives from the factory.

It cooked a WICKED burger. :-)

My parents have a similar one.  My mom grilled a huge rack of lamb a little while back... it was excellent.

Interesting.

I threw a burger on there last night after assmebling it and was doing other things while it cooked. Plus I was tired but I didn't notice what the cooking time was.  I fired the thing up for ribs tonight and it would not develop temps higher than 250-300 degrees.

It has a faulty regulator. :(

On a plus note I called Home Depot and they are having a new one assembled for me and delivered early next week and they will haul the defective one back.

They offered to have an UN-assembled one delivered by tomorrow afternoon but after spending three or four hours last night assembling the first my wife said not only "No" but "Frak your mama NO!" at the idea of putting another one together.

This is the first appliance I have ever bought that was a lemon.

First rate customer service from Home Depot though. :)

They are now.

My wife invited me to stick a large garden gnome up my ass and sleep on the couch if they brought another one that WASN'T assembled. :rofl:

We just have to wait a couple days for it.

Well, in that case...maybe I will buy a barbque...do they charge a fortune for shipping and set up?

I think that the assembly fee is normally $40-50 and you wind up paying another $35-50 for delivery.

But if you have the mechanical abilities of a drunken otter like I do it's worth it to have someone else do the icky stuff.

I bought my mom an early birthday present, a 4 burner Brinkman grill.

It works pretty nice but the ignitor is not the snappiest.

I used it this afternoon. Bison burgers and stuffed mushrooms.

This particiliar Home Depot does not have an assembly fee. They assemble the grills for the floor, and if you want one already put together, you just take the one you are looking at. They wanted way too much for delivery, so just had a friend with a truck pick it up. It showed up ready to go, complete with a full tank!

I still have a crappy table top grill at my house, maybe she will decide she does not like to grill out and I will make a swap.  :-)
