Hybrid Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner

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.
