TEC Sterling Patio Grill

Unlike traditional gas grills that heat the air around the food, the Sterling Patio FR uses 100% infrared energy to heat the food directly. This method locks in moisture and prevents the drying effect often caused by hot air circulation, resulting in juicier meats and a more consistent sear.

Yes, the grill is engineered to prevent flare-ups by using a glass panel system that blocks grease from dripping onto the burner. Because the grease vaporizes on the surface rather than igniting, you get the flavor of a charcoal grill without the risk of burnt food.

The self-cleaning feature works by burning off food residue at high temperatures. After you finish cooking, simply turn the grill to its highest setting for a few minutes; any remaining debris will turn to ash, which you can easily brush away once the unit cools.

While the grill features a single burner, the infrared technology provides remarkably even heat across the entire 296-square-inch cooking surface. You can achieve consistent results across the grate, though you won't have distinct temperature zones like you would on a multi-burner grill.

This unit is designed for efficiency and can reach a searing 900°F in just a few minutes. This rapid preheat time makes it a practical choice for quick weeknight meals when you don't want to wait for a traditional grill to warm up.

With a width of 46 inches and a pedestal configuration, this grill has a relatively compact footprint that works well in smaller outdoor spaces. However, you should ensure you have adequate clearance around the unit for safe operation and ventilation.
