Claim:
An infrared barbecue grill comprising: a body having an open top, said body having an interior with an inner front side and an inner rear side; a first infrared burner mounted at said inner front side; a second infrared burner mounted at said inner rear said and located opposite to said first infrared burner; a first shield member mounted above said first infrared burner and having a plurality of through holes, said first shield member having an inner edge mounted on said inner front side of said body and an outer edge suspended from said inner front side of said body; a first baffle having a first edge fixedly installed on said outer edge of said first shield and a second edge having a distance from said first shield member; a second shield member mounted above said second infrared burner and having a plurality of through holes, said second shield member having an inner edge mounted on said inner rear side of said body and an outer edge suspended from said inner rear side of said body, said second shield member having a lug extending downwardly from said outer edge of said shield member; a second baffle having a first edge fixedly installed on said outer edge of said second shield and a second edge having a distance from said second shield member; a grate configured to be placed on said open top of said body; said first and second infrared burners being mounted outside an effective cooking portion of said grate; a heat dissipator mounted on a bottom of said body and formed with a plurality of through holes; and a water basin slidably mounted under said heat dissipator; whereby said through holes of said heat dissipator will allow passage of oil and/or grease to said water basin and allow passage of steam generated from said water basin thereby adding moisture to the food being cooked on said grate, and said baffles will guide heat energy generated from said burners to front and rear sides of said grate thereby guiding heat energy to a region of said grate where infrared ray emitted from said burners cannot cover and therefore causing the heat energy to be evenly distributed on a top surface of said grate.
