The American Made Grills Estate Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner (IRB-EST) replaces one standard burner position with 26,000 BTUs of infrared heat — the kind of temperature that puts a proper crust on a ribeye in ninety seconds a side. It is the single most-requested upgrade on a premium grill, and on the Estate platform it drops straight in. See the rest of our side and power burners from American Made Grills.
Infrared works differently from an open flame. Instead of heating air that then heats the food, the burner radiates directly onto the surface, which means far less moisture is driven off during the sear. The practical result is a darker crust and a juicier interior than the same steak cooked over a conventional burner at the same nominal BTU.
The Estate Series already ships with a 12,000 BTU infrared back burner for rotisserie work; this adds dedicated infrared heat down at grate level, where the searing actually happens.
Because it occupies a burner position rather than sitting on top of the grates, you keep full use of the cooking surface and lose nothing in hood clearance. Made in the USA and covered by the Gold Standard warranty with 100% non-prorated replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
The back burner is a 12,000 BTU infrared unit meant for rotisserie work, mounted high and behind the food. The IRB-EST puts 26,000 BTUs of infrared down at grate level, where searing actually happens.
They do different jobs, so having one does not replace the need for the other.
26,000 BTU. It is a single-position burner, so that figure is concentrated into one zone of the grate rather than spread across the whole cooking surface.
Estate Series grills. Each American Made Grills platform has its own version of this burner, so the model code is what matters — confirm yours reads IRB-EST. More American Made Grills burners here.
Yes. It drops into a standard burner position on the Estate as a replacement for one burner, not as an addition alongside them.
No. Nothing sits on top of the grates, so grate area and hood clearance are the same after installation as before.
Radiant heat reaches the meat directly instead of passing through hot air first. Less moisture is driven off during the sear, so the crust develops darker and faster while the inside stays juicier.
Each unit covers one burner position, so the number you can fit is the number of standard positions you are willing to convert to infrared.
I absolutely love my Coyote gas grill! The quality is excellent, it looks beautiful, and I’m very happy with my purchase.
I also want to give a special thank you to Ryan at Northwoods Grills. He was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. Before my grill even arrived, he took the time to help me with measurements and answered all of my questions to make sure everything would fit properly. He was always very attentive, patient, friendly, and easy to communicate with. His customer service really made a difference and made the whole experience so much easier for me.
It’s not often that you receive this level of personal attention and customer service. I truly appreciate all of Ryan’s help and would absolutely recommend Northwoods Grills. Great product and outstanding customer service!
Best pricing available for the product (checked all other on line retailers), and Ryan provided excellent responsiveness during the sales process. Loved dealing directly with the owner vs a sales person.
Delivery was completed within a week of the order and Ryan stayed in touch with consistent follow-up to ensure the products met my expectations.
Will recommend to friends / others looking for a high-end built in grill and matching cabinets.
Great experience with Northwood Grills! I purchased a hood from them and it was delivered quickly and exactly as expected. Ryan was great to work with—helpful, responsive, and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend!
Good sink. Came with all parts as described.
Excellent service and fast shipping!
Don’t know how i ever cooked without this before. Love the char this locks in the meat every time. May add a second one to the other end of the grill.
Great quality.
I was caught in a bind with a DIFFERENT provider, and Ryan was able to get me exactly what I needed, he reached out to the manufacturer for me to confirm specs and had my shipment mailed out same day. If you’re in the market for any outdoor kitchen needs, look no further than Northwoods!
Great service, grill came within a week.
Wouldn’t order from anyone else!
