Camplux Propane Infrared Steak Grill,1600℉ Fast Efficient Heating Outdoor Portable Gas Grill with Vertical Cooking,Stainless Steel Single Burner Propane Gas Grill,Perfect for Steak,Ribeyes,Picnic,BBQ

Packaging is a little skimpy on protection but the product arrived absolutely fine. The box was a little mangled at the bottom but the Styrofoam protected the unit.Assembly was stupid easy. Anyone in your family 10 y/o or above can put it together. The hardest part was using a wrench to attach the regulator to the unit. They could have included a very small fixed hex nut metal wrench with little added cost. So, make sure you have a wrench. Once you attach the regulator hose to the unit, do the soap test. Attach the other end of the regulator hose to a 20lb propane tank and turn it on. Make sure you have ventilation. I did mine under a range exhaust hood turned on. Take some liquid hand soap about 3 pumps and about 1/8 cup water mix together and coat where you attached the regulator see if you see any bubbles bubbling up from any point around the nut. If you do, tighten the nut more till it stops.Starting the unit didn't go as planned in the directions. I pushed the ignitor knob in and watched the sparks fly in side by the propane jet but got no light off. Held it for 20 seconds. Kept holding it and finally I gave up. I let it air out a little then the next time instead of going to on, I held the knob in and when to all the way to high. That let a better flow of gas in that ignited. I kept holding the knob in until flame would stay lit when released. It might be hard to start because the hose has air in it for the first light off. Who knows, but turning it to high got it started so no big deal.Once the ceramic started heating up, I gave it about 5 minutes and took out my Infrared Temperature Measuring Gun and....it broke it. lol. It was way over the maximum temp for the Gun. All the display would say is HI. I looked to see what the maximum temp the gun would register and it list 600c or 1112F. Not really definitive for testing but at least I know it get ABOVE that. And that will be the hottest tempreature I've ever grilled at when I cook our steaks later tonight.I live in a Condo so we have a rule that we aren't allowed any open flame indoors. Well technically the box says Infrared heat. So if it comes up, I will just point at that and hope no one is very smart on the condo board. But...a big but here, the unit is a top grilling device so, flare ups and smoke should be much less than the propane grill I was using before with a burner underneath and all the juices catching fire and smoking as they dropped.Edit...After a month of very intense use. I've probably used this 3 to 4 times a week for a month and it's just been amazing. I started with Prime Meats. They turned out amazing. Nice seared crust, easy to keep inside of steak any temperature you desire. The intensity adjustment is great, and coupled with the rack positioning lever you can keep a steak warm at the very bottom of the grill. I also tried Burgers, very nice and best burgers I've made on a grill. I tried Choice steaks and they came out amazing as well. Obviously not as delicious as the Prime but for the amount of savings, this grill makes Choice steaks taste like prime on a regular grill.You might want to purchase this..."Fox Trot Bar Keepers Friend Cookware Cleaner" it cleans the heat stains from the intense cooking very easily. Keeps the silver pans, grill grate and front of oven shiny silver just like new. You will like this grill so much you will want to keep it looking nice.

I received the oven on Friday. I took it put and was very impressed with finishes. However one of the drip traps was slightly twisted so it would not sit flat.A call to Amazon generated a couple unit sent to me switch the faulty tray out.The rack has four ears on the sliding drawer frame, one on each corner. The back two were splayed out just enough that the grill rack would not seat. A little muscle fixed that .I wanted to immediately try it out. Because I did not have a 20lb tank, I wanted to use a 1 lb bottle. The adapter is not included. So I had to buy one for 13 dollars. So because they cheaped out and did not include a 4 dollar ( manufacturer's cost) part my out of box experience was dead in the water.So when you order yours be sure and order the adapter if want to use the small bottles.There is no large removable tray in the bottom to catch anything missed by drip tray.So I purchased a NORPRO Norpro S/S Cookie Baking Sheet 14` X 12`, 1 EAThe bottom of the sear is 12.5 inch wide and 12 deep. So tray slides right in with 2 inches hanging out in the front to catch any drips when transferring food out to a plate. It is polished and looks like it is part of the oven..I also purchased a pair of the nicess grill gloves I have ever seen. They have fingers and go up to 1450 degrees.WEEDABEST Hot BBQ Gloves Heat Resistant Kitchen Oven Mitts Professional Long Heat Resistant Cooking Gloves for Grill,Grilling,Smoker,Barbeque,13.5 inch-GrayIt is raining here in Seattle so I tried it indoors. There is no difference than a normal gas broiler in your stove. Since the element is on the top there is no grease dripping on the element and causing smoke.I also went to Costco and bought a stainless steel cartSeville Classics Stainless Steel Kitchen Cart 30 inch x 20 inch top and 36 off floor. There is room underneath for the propane tank.Add a instant reading thermometer and an infrared laser gun that goes up to 1500 finishes the grill.Then I added two cast iron serving plates with wood bases to keep that special steak ready to go to the table.Remember that normal oven liners fry above 550 and aluminum tops out at about 1000 so the bottom liner must be stainless.For those who have trouble getting the pilot to stay on, remember that there is a valve controlled by a passive thermocouple that must reach a certain temp so hold down the igniter for 30 seconds. Also remember there is air in the propane hose that must be purged by holding the igniter until gas actually flows and the pilot ignites.My next purchase will be a pizza steel plate as the bottom of the pizza does not become crunchy until the top is way overcooked. Bear in mind that a normal stone can notcwithstand these temps.I could not find one on amazon that was smalenough so i .am ordering one from easy 12" x 1/2" thick. It may be too heavy so I might go with 1/4 but it will not crisp as well. Price seams to be around 60 dollars and ships free.All that will be left are ss Tongs, flat Spatulas and a perfersted basket for small things so they don't fall through.Hope this helps
