TEC Sterling Patio 2 FR Infrared Grill

Unlike traditional gas grills that heat the air around your food, infrared burners use radiant heat to cook directly. This results in much higher, more consistent temperatures across the entire surface, which is ideal for achieving a professional-grade sear while locking in moisture.

Yes, the TEC Sterling Patio 2 FR is built with durable stainless steel designed to withstand the elements. However, like any high-end outdoor appliance, we recommend using a fitted grill cover during the off-season or extended periods of non-use to protect the finish and internal components.

Infrared burners are generally self-cleaning because the intense heat burns off food drippings and residue. You should occasionally brush off the ceramic burner surface with a soft brush to remove any ash buildup, but avoid using water or harsh cleaners directly on the burner.

While this grill excels at high-heat searing, it is versatile enough for lower temperatures as well. Because the infrared heat is so efficient, you will need to learn how to manage the heat settings carefully for longer cooks, but it is certainly capable of handling a variety of cooking styles.

This unit requires assembly upon delivery. While the instructions are straightforward, the stainless steel components are heavy and robust, so we recommend having a second person available to assist with the setup.
