TEC Grill Buying Guide
TEC Grills Key Features
TEC grills invented infrared grilling 40 years ago, and since then they have created grills that serve as all-in-one appliances for your outdoor cooking needs. From steaming to smoking, TEC grills can do it all!
Self Cleaning
Clean-up is quick and easy--close the hood and turn your grill on high for 10-15 minutes. Food drippings and debris are incinerated.
Temperature Control
TEC grills can reach temperatures up to 900°F in under 10 minutes without heat spikes and lows down to 200°F, which's perfect for smoking large meats.
Even Heat dispersement
With TEC's unique, radiant glass infrared heating system, you get even grilling across the entire cooking surface. Burners heat the glass in which then spreads the heat evenly across the cooking grates.
More Than Just A Grill
With TEC you all you need is one grill, and then each accessory you add, your TEC grill turns it into a smoker, roaster, steamer, fryer, griddle, or even a pizza oven! There's no need to buy separate appliances for each type of cooking.
Smoky, Charbroiled flavor
Radiant glass panels block rising hot air from burners that dry out food, so food retains 35% more of its natural essence. Drippings are incinerated on the heated glass, creating a rich, smoky vapor that flavors food.

How Do TEC's Accessories Add To your Grill?
Say goodbye to multiple cooking appliances and say hello to the only all-in-one grill you need for your outdoor entertainment. Below we explain how each accessory adds to the versatility of your grill.
Smoker/Roaster + Corral
Add a TEC Smoker/Roaster to your grill, and it becomes a commercial-grade smoker. Try roasting a turkey, or add wood chips and smoke it. For authentic Southern pulled pork, barbeque Boston butts low for 8, 10, 12 hours depending on the size, without even turning them. Chicken wings on a TEC smoker/roaster come off tender and juicy, and delicate foods like fish and vegetables retain all their natural juices.
Pizza Oven Rack
Imagine making the perfect pizza for game day right from your TEC grill, erasing the need for another appliance. The pizza rack is raised above the cooking grates and perforated to allow the maximum amount of heat to slowly cook the crust to perfection while keeping the toppings moist.
Flat-Top Griddle
Improve the versatility of your TEC grill with the commercial style griddle. Cook up breakfast in the great outdoors with TEC's restaurant-quality griddle that fits directly on the grates of your grill and provides a space between the grates and the cooking surface to allow the griddle to be heated evenly for cooking.
Gator Rack + Corral
Big enough to accommodate a whole hog, several pork butts, or wings for a crowd, the Gator Rack will become your go-to accessory for entertaining.
Fryer/Steamer
The TEC fryer/steamer sits over only one burner, which allows you to grill on the other side while your vegetables or other delicate foods cook. Perfect for dinner parties, and other events that require a lot of food, easily cook faster with the TEC fryer/steamer.
Meatloaf Pan
The pan rests on a slotted spatula, so melted fat drains away from the meatloaf through openings in the spatula as it cooks This not only prevents it from being reabsorbed by the meat but also allows the fat to drip down to the heated grill, creating a rich smoky vapor.
Grill Tray
This thinly-slotted tray allows you to cook vegetables, shellfish, and other small food items that would otherwise fall through the larger openings of our other accessories or grill grates. Keep a spare one clean, because it’s also perfect for grilling biscuits!
Warming Rack + Rack Jack
The Warming Rack Plus Rack Jack combo provides more clearance underneath the warming rack to access what’s cooking on the grates, it also reduces the surface temperature of the warming rack, so you can leave finished food staying warm for longer without running the risk of overcooking it.
