We had to replace my original Infra Red  because  the pan rusted out out.  I went to the new smaller unit because it is just my wife and I.  Not happy with this grill at all.  Does not have a pan over the burners to create "Infra-Red" heat.  The grill surface itself is supposed to do this now, just like every other grill on the market.  Temp at the grill surface is way too high, even on the lowest setting.  It does not take long for the porcelain on the grill surface to burn/rust away.  Too small to do any indirect cooking.  Food sticks to the grill surface....especially fish and chicken.  One person wrote it is because the meat has not caramelized, sounds like a company line to me, some foods you do not want cooked that high.
