Item Description:
The Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared smoker, roaster, and grill takes a step forward from the Big Easy and expands its cooking function and capability. It's powered by the TRU-Infrared cooking system, which channels heat evenly, eliminating hot/cold spots.

The Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared smoker, roaster, and grill takes the next step forward from the award-winning Big Easy by expanding on its cooking function and capability. Just like the Big Easy, there is no charcoal or oil needed. It's powered by Char-Broil's TRU-Infrared cooking system, which channels heat evenly and eliminates hot and cold spots.

Between the outer wall and inner wall of this versatile cooker is a fully enclosed, specially designed propane burner. The heated inner wall radiates natural infrared heat that penetrates food evenly and seals the juices inside. The hot air that is generated escapes out of the top of the cooking chamber before it has a chance to dry out the food. The result is meat that stays moist and tender.

An internal smoker box uses wood chips or pellets without the need of air dampers or a messy water pan, while the infrared heat is great for roasting -- it fits up to a 25-pound turkey on its double-stacked rotating basket. It's also great for grilling with its 180 square inch primary cooking area. Other features include temperature control from 9,000 to 18,000 BTUs, a meat thermometer, stay-cool handles, grease collection tray, variable temperature control, and rotary ignition. The Big Easy measures 18 by 24 by 36 inches.

How TRU-Infrared Works
All Char-Broil TRU-Infrared grills generate a minimum of 65 percent infrared heat, which is evenly spread across the entire cooking surface to cook food -- without drying -- at temperatures that range from simmer to sear.

Unlike traditional gas grills that use convective heat (hot air) to cook food, Char-Broil's TRU-Infrared grills limit the hot air flow and use natural, radiant heat to cook food directly without drying. While convective heat destroys food's moisture barrier, infrared heat penetrates it without drying and locks in natural juices and flavors. Char-Broil's TRU-Infrared cooking system virtually eliminates flare-ups while producing very even heat (no hot or cold spots).

I bought the Char-Broil Big Easy because many review I read stated that the meat cooked evenly. I used the Big Easy for Thanksgiving cooking a turkey and there were parts of the meat that were still raw while other thicker parts were cooked throughly. Does anyone have any advice on how to ensure that the turkey gets cooked evenly? Position of the turkey, makes a difference?

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I bought this originally to try cooking a Christmas prime rib. The closer it got to the big day, I found out that I had to cook 2 prime rib roasts. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time using this grill. I used the included basket, racks and my own thermometer to roast these 2 hunks of meat to absolute perfection. It couldn't have been easier or tasted better, that was over 2 years ago. I have since only used my expensive, Weber Genesis once, it is a yard ornament. I use the Big Easy for everything including ribs, wings, vegetables, steaks, burgers and our favorite, kabobs. It is so versatile with the included basket, rib hooks & grill top. It is so easy to move around, in fact I take it with us on our dozen or so camping trips a year. I seldom use the grill or stove in our camper trailer and never use the campground grill. I often have fellow campers asking what it is that I am using to cook our food. I love this grill so much that I bought another and have it new in the box, sitting in storage to have when my current one wears out.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I never had a True Infrared or any Infrared before. I had given up on Propane based Grills years ago, but when I saw this one on TV I had to give it a try. I am so so happy I did. You have to be careful and not over cook because it cooks and smokes very fast, but once I learned that I have made the best Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, steaks and burgers that I have ever tasted. I bought a cover so I can get this grill to last a while and not rust out like my many others.

I picked this out as a retirement gift and I'm glad I did. I used it to cook a 14lb turkey at camp this last Thanksgiving. It cooked much faster than it would have on a BBQ so one needs to keep an eye on the temperature. It was by far the most appealing looking bird I have ever cooked with its rich dark crisp skin and the meat was juicy and tender. Using this also freed up the BBQ to warm the ham and sides. I can't wait to put some wood chips in next time.

I have had this unit for over a year and store it outside without a cover and no rust. It is very well built and cooks very consistently. Your chicken will come out super moist with the crispiest skin ever. And for cooking up to 8 burgers, there is nothing more convenient than the infrared grill grate with a few cherry wood chips.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
