From the manufacturer
Char-Broil Performance TRU-Infrared 450 3-Burner Cart Gas Grill
The Char-Broil Performance TRU-Infrared 3-burner gas grill is perfect for those with mid-sized grilling needs. Starts up with a push of the Surefire electronic ignition button which syncs every burner for quick and reliable start-ups. Char-Broil's infrared technology heats up faster, hotter and more evenly, for less grill flare ups and juicier food. 10,000-BTU side burning features a fold-down cover providing increased space for work surface or food prep, when the side burner is not in use. Features a generous 450 square inch cooking surface and 150 square inch warming rack. The durable porcelain-coated grates are easy to clean, and the stainless steel burners can be easily adjusted to deliver high heat or very low temperatures evenly across the cooking grate. The Char-Broil Performance TRU-Infrared 3-Burner Cart Gas Grill has everything you need to keep you grilling for the long haul, wrapped up in a sleek design.
TRU Infrared Cooking System
The Char-Broil TRU-Infrared cooking system allows the grill user to cook their food evenly and with greater temperature control, using infrared technology. The Infrared heat helps prevent hot and cold spots on the grill's cooking surface and facilitates faster cooking with the use of less gas.
The special cooking grate at the core of TRU-Infrared technology spreads heat evenly across the grill top. And because it creates a barrier between food and flames, flare-ups are history. End result- juicier and more flavorful food every time.

I never buy expensive grills. A new one every 4-5 years has worked well for me. I am thinking about buying another one of these to store for the future. Highly recommended.
They're not really. Once you get the hang of it, you can cook things just the same as you'd cook them on a regular gas grill,
Steaks are cooked prefectly with really nice sear lines on them. You have to be careful though as the temperature gets really high. Start off at the max for searing, then turn it way down, or move the steaks to another part of the grill that you've left at a lower temperature.
Despite claiming there are no flare ups, this is not actually true. Fat can still drip down and get on the flames, so you actually can get some flare ups, but they are not as bad as on open flame gas grills. This is why I've taken one star off my review.
I've always preferred charcoal or wood but I've gone to about a 50-50 between gas and charcoal / wood. Sometimes it's just nice to ignite the grill and cook a few hamburgers or sausages.
This is my second gas grill and I love the way the TRU infrared controls the heat. We've had ours for over two years and the only reason I stopped by was to see if I could buy a second one to store for our pending move out of the country. Figured as long as I was here, I'd leave a review.
I paid $198 for the one I have so I'm going to wait before forking over an extra $70 for a spare.
Great grill and I'll buy a second when the price goes back down..........
