A great method for grilling your meal

The biggest advantage that I could see with the Char-Broil M500 Quantum infrared grill is the even heating, resulting in a nice and even grilling. All of the meat I have put on it have come out very juicy and quite tasty with no shrinkage at all. CharBroil claims that these grills use less gas and will cook faster than a comparable sized traditional barbecue grill and I guess I believe them. All I know is the food comes out just fine for us. One complaint though is it seems to take longer to get it up to the right temperature.

While the Quantum 3 burner doesn't flare up I find that I need to keep the screens underneath pretty clean or the heat won't be what I need. Seems like it needs a little more tlc between grilling sessions but to me it is worth it because the flavor is awesome. It also looks like it will last a long time, unlike our prior Sunbeam which rusted out completely. It was my fault though because I didn't cover it or really care for it that much.

I found a few things that I really like about this infrared grill too. You can add wood chips to it without the use of a smoker box and you can also rotisserie without the use of one of those special burners. It's easy to control the temperature with the different controls for each of the 3 burners. Overall I'm impressed with this and feel like it is a step forward in the home barbecue industry. Only time will tell if it grills better than an open flame model but so far so good for us.
