American Made Grills Hybrid Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner

The American Made Grills Hybrid Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner (IRB-AMG) 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 Hybrid 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.

On a hybrid grill the sear burner stacks with the fuel trays rather than competing with them: build smoke and flavor over hardwood on one side, then finish over infrared on the other. Note that one is already included with every hybrid grill — this is the spare or the second unit.

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.

American Made Grills Hybrid Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner IRB-AMG - 26,000 BTUs

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grills does the IRB-AMG fit?

Encore, Muscle and Ovation hybrid grills. It drops into a standard burner position on those heads and is not the same part as the Alturi, Atlas or Estate versions.

Doesn't my hybrid grill already come with one?

Yes. One infrared sear burner is included with every hybrid grill, so this listing is the spare or the second unit rather than a first-time upgrade.

Buy it if you want infrared across more than one position, or a replacement on the shelf.

How many BTUs is it?

26,000 BTU of infrared heat across a single burner position.

How does it work alongside charcoal and wood?

It stacks with the fuel trays rather than competing with them. Build smoke and flavor over hardwood on one side of the grill, then move across and finish over infrared on the other.

Does it take up cooking surface?

No. It sits in a burner position under the grates, so grate area and hood clearance are untouched. See the other American Made Grills burners.

Why infrared rather than turning a gas burner up?

Infrared radiates onto the food instead of heating the air around it, so less moisture is driven off. Same nominal BTU, darker crust, wetter interior.

Where is it built?

In the USA.
