What Is Different About VBroiler Grills?
First, the propane burner and charcoal firebox are interchangeable. This is why the propane model may also burn charcoal. Second, rather than cooking by “direc heat” under the cooking region, we cook by the “indirect” method using the vertical burner or firebox to produce a wall of radiant heat on the side (or rear) of the cooking region. In the charcoal model, a “chimney effect” produced by vertical stacking makes the coals easy to ignite and reach full cooking temperature within 15-20 minutes (using fresh dry charcoal). The propane model reaches cooking temperature in 3-4 minutes. Some folks question the cooking ability of a vertical heat source under a common misperception that heat escapes upwards and out of the grill. This is true for convection heat, but not so for radiant heat (like radiant heat from the sun). To explain, conventional countertop electric rotisserie ovens use vertical radiant “electric” heating elements (i.e., ShowTime, Ronco, Geroge Foreman, Greek Gyro Grills fo
