The Impact of Infrared

Saber grills’ unique technology features an advanced infrared cooking system.  This patented infrared system, in all our Saber grills, is recognized in the superb taste of the food coming off every grill.  The exclusive design features a cooking grate and an infrared emitter that combine to vaporize drippings, adding natural smoke and flavor to food.  Flare-ups are eliminated, high and low settings allow the consumer to actually regulate the heat in the cookbox, and Saber grills use 30% less fuel than traditional gas grills.

Most infrared (IR) grills use expensive ceramic emitters to convert heat from a gas-powered burner into radiant heat. Because of the open grate design, these grills cook with a combination of radiant heat and convective heat. This combination can be problematic for several reasons. Ceramic IR cooking systems are highly effective at searing food because they burn extremely hot. However, it is almost impossible to vary the temperature and burning your meal is a frequent result. Flare-ups are also a common problem due to the open grate and burner design. Due to their open port design, ceramic IR burners clog with grease and food debris. As they become more sensitive to thermal shock and temperature change and can easily crack causing performance issues and costly maintenance.
