The Big Easy Smoker, Roaster and Grill with Char Broil is a popular gas smoker and grill with a unique feature; infrared heating system.
Infrared grilling is achieved by having the gas heat up the ceramic or stainless steel surface with microscopic holes in the millions to create infrared heat. For you, infrared heating has many different benefits.
The grill does not require charcoal or flame to get things grilled or smoked. The heat itself is so strong that you will be amazed it can reach levels unlike other.
The Big easy is capable of producing temperatures just under 600 degrees. This is a lot!
The infrared is especially beneficial for those who do not like pre-heating their smokers before cooking. The heat is reached up to the levels you need so quickly that it is almost amazing.
You may have also noticed that flames, charcoal and other methods to cook meat almost always take away the moisture on the outside. With Big Easy infrared heating technology, you can forget about having dried meat.
The infrared rays are there to heat the meat directly from the inside. Which means your meat will never lose its moisture from the outside.
In other words, the heating mechanism of the Char-Broil Big Easy Smoker, Roaster And Grill is a replication of deep fryer. Yes, you heard that correct. It works exactly like a deep fryer thanks to its infrared heating.
