TEC Infrared Grills
100% infrared gas grills — no flare-ups, no cold spots.
The Story
TEC Infrared Grills invented the pure-infrared gas grill in 1980 — not a hybrid, not a lava-rock-radiant workaround, but a 100% infrared ceramic burner system. Every TEC grill cooks food via radiant infrared energy, which means zero flare-ups (no fat drips reach the burner), zero cold spots, and 850F direct searing in 10 minutes of warmup.
The lineup runs from the Patio FR portable ($2,500) to the Sterling II built-in ($10,000) to the Cherokee FR freestanding cart ($10,900). Columbia, SC manufacturing, 316 stainless, 15-year warranty on the ceramic burners.

What TEC Infrared Grills Cares About
01
100% infrared, no flare-ups
Fat drops onto a ceramic radiant plate, vaporizes, never reaches the gas burner. No flare-ups, no soot, no over-charred food.
02
850F sear in 10 min warmup
Infrared ceramic plates reach 850F in under 10 minutes. Hard sear a ribeye, finish in 90 seconds per side.
03
15-year burner warranty
Ceramic infrared burners carry a 15-year warranty — longest in the industry. No ongoing burner replacement budget.
Questions
Frequently Asked About TEC Infrared Grills
What makes TEC's infrared different from Bull or Hestan's infrared burners?
TEC is 100% infrared — the entire cook surface is radiant ceramic. Bull and Hestan have ONE infrared burner (usually a side sear station) on an otherwise conventional grill. TEC's whole grill cooks via infrared, which means no cold spots and no flare-ups anywhere on the grill.
Which TEC model is right for me?
Patio FR ($2,500) for a tight patio with portability. Sterling II ($5-10K) for a built-in island. Cherokee FR ($10,900) for a freestanding cart with maximum cook area. All share the same infrared burner tech.
Does TEC come MAP-protected?
Yes — TEC enforces MAP across all authorized dealers. Pricing is identical everywhere. The infrared tech + 15-year warranty is what you're paying for.
