BIG HORN OUTDOORS 1500°F Small Infrared Propane Gas Grill – Portable Steak Broiler & Sear Station, Outdoor Salamander BBQ with Pizza Stone, Stainless Steel

I had purchased a sous vide unit and needed a good seer on the finished meal – this one sure does it!In literally one minute it goes from zero to about 1200° or so, I see my steaks or chops one minute aside after sous vide with this unit and they just come out terrific. No 15 minute heat up with a regular barbecue and all the wasted propane if I use one tank of gas this year it’ll be amazing.I absolutely love this.

This searing oven fires up fast and HOT. The removable parts are well designed and heavy duty. I love to sousvide beef then sear it. Im amazed at the high quality for the price!

So far, I have only cooked four of the best ribeyes I have ever had, but if you were to steal this from me today or if I broke it somehow this evening I would order another one later this evening, even at twice the price. I don't write reviews unless something is either outstanding or horrible.I don't use the racks as they were intended. I use one of them to support a 1/4 sheet pan, lined with foil and a dedicated stainless steel rack so clean up is simply scrubbing that rack a bit and throwing the foil away. The sheet pan and the griller stay clean with this set up. The racks that come with the cooker are better looking than the racks I have for other grilling equipment, mainly because they are heavy stainless steel, but I believe that the wire rack in the foil lined pan is an easier clean up and will continue to cook this way until it makes more sense to use the provided racks for a specific type of food. I use the cooker's rack like I do oven racks. I've charred three halved zucchinis with the steaks on two occasions and I am absolutely blown away by the flavor of everything.I marinate my steaks for a half hour in cold beer and then pat them dry and sprinkle with a combination of brown sugar, seasoned salt, and black pepper. I then let them sit at room temp for 45 minutes and then broil them in this cooker for about 4 minutes, turning the steaks every sixty seconds until charred to my liking. The fat chars very quickly - in less than a minute - but I continue cooking at full blast about 2.5-inches from the heat source on the fourth rack down from the top until it is more evenly charred and then probe to check for temp - it's perfect somehow each time at 135 degrees. I brush with melted butter, season with fresh coarse black pepper and cover with foil to rest five minutes. Such a great flavor and oh so tender. Perfect steak.Prior to this cooker, I would never think of using a gas grill - only grill over charcoal and wood - but the char produced here rivals anything that charcoal or wood has been able to produce and I believe it's the char that brings the flavor I am really loving. I may cold-smoke some steaks prior to broiling later but as good as these have been, I wonder if I even need to. Thought about sous vide as I have done it the past prior to searing, with results like this in four minutes, what's the point? These steaks are more tender than sous vide and searing.The zucchini I cook along side the steaks on the same rack/pan or on a similar separate set up and while they are perfectly charred they are a bit al-dente but perfect to me. I season them simply with olive oil and sea salt. I've since searched the internets for foods that are better when charred and expect to do a lot more with this cooker than just steaks and zucchini although if I find that all I could ever cook properly is ribeyes and zucchini I will do it like it were my job for as long as I am able. I love this thing and I only wish I'd found this style of griller years ago. It is so easy and clean to char from above rather than below, where flare ups can make things trickier.I plan to try chicken, fish, brussels sprouts, peppers, and green beans. Maybe pre-cooked cobs of corn? My mind races. I'm glad I saved some money compared to similar units because I jokingly may go broke buying meat to cook in this excellent product. I wish Big Horn Outdoors sold a cover for it so I could just leave it out in the weather, but because it is so lightweight and easy to carry around, I will continue to bring it out of the garage and then put it away after cooling. I will take care of it because I want to keep using it for a long time. Please get one for yourself and then write a review describing your excellent ideas of what can be cooked in it.One final note - the unit is packaged so thoughtfully. They figured out how to ship it without damage, unlike a lot of BBQ equipment I've had shipped to myself. I hesitate to buy grilling equipment online because of some horrible experiences, but with this one you can expect it to arrive in good condition.

Absolutely incredible product especially at this price point. I have 7 BBQs and this is my favorite for a super quick and easy grilled meal. It gives the convenience of a propane grill but you can actually get a great sear. This is not the cooker to do a super thick steak without reverse sear or sous vide first but does a great job of stuff that cooks hot and fast

This Grill is a perfect broiler for giving your meat some serous color. I love the intense heat and the adjustable racks.I wish they made a wider model. It is much easier than using my ovens gas broiler. It has real heat in spades.I only gave it 4 stars because of two reasons. The racks, although nice and solid, do not slide in and out with out a fair amount of effort. I gave up trying to slide them to check the meat temps. I bought a shallow cast iron pan with 1"sides. Hugh improvement, the pan slides effortlessly over the SS racks. I lost a little size, but nothing worth mentioning. My biggest complaint, the grease splatters from pulling the meat out to check temp or color. It splashes onto the front of the broiler, and gets baked in instantly. I have been unable to remove these burn stains. It make the broiler look like I have been using it for years, when in fact I have only used 4 times.

I've always been disappointed making steak on my grill because I can only get it to about 450, which bakes a steak but doesn't really sear it.This gas broiler is the hottest thing I have ever had. It really is comparable in performance to a commercial broiler used by upscale steak houses. It produces so much heat that you have to put your steak on the lower levels because the top will just burn the meat in under a minute.I go about halfway down and then flip the steak several times and I've got medium rare in about 5-6 minutes max.Cleanup is super easy -- the parts that need to be cleaned are easily removable and made of stainless steel, so they go in the dishwasher. Build quality seems good. I'm not leaving it outside, but it's worked trouble free for six months and doesn't show any wear.The one caveat is the size -- it will sear only one steak at a time. If you're making for a group, you may want the larger size model. But this thing is incredible for the price.

The media could not be loaded. For the price, my expectations were middle of the road.I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality and the fit/finish. Made with thick and sturdy stainless steel. Went together super easily with tool free assembly. Taking it apart to clean will also be very easy.The only thing better than the build quality is how well and how quickly it will cook a steak. No flare ups and even cooking. Takes minimal practice to get "restaurant quality". I tried bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. They were crispy and done within 3 minutes!Best part about the Bighorn is, gets up to temperature and ready to cook within 2 minutes. I might never cook a steak on my Big Green Egg again!I told many friends about the Bighorn cooker. Exceeded my expectations by a lot!
