These infrared grills seem to be great at searing and cooking steaks and such but they are criticized as being less than optimal for food/meat that is slow cooked like chicken. I have a Wolf infrared chargrill at home that comes with a metal plate that is placed over the infrared element (covers about 50% of the surface) for cooking more "delicate" food. It does help.

Ahhh

Good to know Hoser!

I tend to cook a lot of different things, often hot italian sausages which need to be cooked on really low flame for awhile to come out perfect!

You know how many times i have shooed guys away from my grill trying to turn UP the flame! HA!

I use the "Low Heat, Flip Often" method when cooking steaks, i dont like it crunchy on the outside!

Its funny, in my circle of friends we all have our own little "BBQ Methods" and constantly razz each others on whos is best! Truth is, all are good! :wings:

Seems i do most of the cooking though!

:chowtime: :steak: :chef:

So...... When is the "First Annual Expedition Portal Grill-Off" ?????

Well, hopefully Spressomon will chime in. He's the only one I know who actually owns a Solaire Infrared grill. If he can cook homemade pizzas on it, then I would think it can slow cook chicken or sausages.

ExPo Grill off? I don't know if I could compete with some of these chefs but I sure would like to be a judge! =)

I'll be the first to tell you I'm skeptic when it comes to "usable" camping equipment. A few years ago my in laws purchased "The Q grill" for my wife and I. At first glance I was like ok what the heck am I supposed to do with this turd. So with my adventurous spirit I fired it up "small propane tank" and to my amazement it seemed to be a well built little unit. I have since used it on multiple camping trips and outings. The design is simple and it looks like a alien space craft when set up. http://www.thane.com/products/housewares/qgrill/qgrill.php

Hmm after I posted this I looked at their website and it had a few people asking for them to bring it back because they need parts or accessories. So I said huh? why did they take it away. So I looked it up on e-pinions with a sneaking suspicion something was wrong. I was right there was a 50/50 split on customers who like it "me" and others who had the unit catch on fire! Damn I guess I need to look at mine and well replace it at best.

I have cooked kabobs, lamb racks, burgers, steaks and now baked pizzas (next I'm going to try Andy's cobbler recipe). It works great. You can adjust the "burner" down if needed. The only nit I have is when trying to get lit and stay lit until it gets hot, in a windy environment...but now that I know I just move the grill to the leeward side of my trailer/LC :) .

The tripod is not as tough as the speaker stands (Ultimate brand???...DD you know what I'm talking about here) pro bands/musicians use (the plastic pieces aren't made from as durable of material)...but I still like it!
