Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning. Some mention that waste becomes ash and is much easier to clean, while others say that the steel TRU-Infrared grill is hard to clean and keep clean.

"...marks on the meat from the grilling surface, and there was no flare-up of flames. The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked...." Read more

"...force that the grate was sent about a foot into the air and flames shot out from the top.I am hesitant to mention any of this...." Read more

"...Nothing makes it better.* They say that the infrared cooking keeps the food moist and doesn’t dry out the food and has fewer flare-ups –this..." Read more

"...the dang lid went BLAM! and blew up, belched fire, and then the lid slammed down hitting my hand in the process...." Read more

So far, it's great!

I was a little concerned because several reviews said it was difficult to assemble. Come on, it's a grill. How hard could it really be? I asked myself. It was a piece of cake.However, I have a couple comments about assembly and directions.I found it really strange that the directions had no mention of the types of tools necessary for assembly. I only needed a screwdriver and two different sized wrenches, but it would have been nice to find it listed instead of having to guess.Then there is this little hole on the back of the grill. It has a little flap you can rotate so it is open or closed. I have no idea what that's all about, and found no mention of it in the documentation. Attached to the little flap, there is a chain with a piece of wire at the end. Again, I found no picture or mention of it and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it.I've seen reviews about the igniter not working very well, or lasting very long. I can see why. The igniter wire plugs in directly above the grease dripping tray. As a matter of fact, I took it apart a couple times to try and thread it a different way so the wire wouldn't just lay in the tray of grease. I was able to accomplish that, but I am sure it will become a greasy mess before very long just because of its proximity to the grease. Sure seems like there would be a better way to locate that little sucker.When all was said and done, it took about an hour for me to assemble. If you've ever assembled a grill, you will have no problems putting this little gem together.Tonight we will fire it up and then the true test.Ok, so I forgot to push submit yesterday, so now I'll add a few more comments.Hooked up the propane tank and fired up the grill last night. Another observation about the location of that little grease catcher tray. It is VERY close to the top of the propane tank, so turning off the propane when I was finished required close attention so I didn't burn myself.The grilling experience itself was awesome. I seasoned the grate as recommended and threw on a bunch of chicken that had been marinating all day. Cooked evenly across the entire surface, and I was pleased with the results. Even though the marinade made a mess, cleanup wasn't terrible either.So far, I'm really pleased with this purchase.

I researched BBQs for a long time before buying this one. I wanted a small one, but powerful. Everything was so expensive ($500+). This one was still a bit over budget, but all the reviews were amazing. I’m really happy with my purchase. Also, it was easy and quick to assemble.
