Solaire Grills - Greatest Versatility in Grilling

Complete Guide to Solaire Grills - Convection, Infravection and Infrared

Solaire Grills are manufactured by Rasmussen Ironworks, a USA Gas Log Manufacturing Company that was founded in 1907. 

The introduction of their grill design and engineering was created by  Alfresco (hence the AGBQ in some of the models). The introductory lineup was the 30", 42" and 56". These grills featured restaurant quality infrared burners that delivered juicier food fast.

In 2003, they introduced Infravection, a mix of conventional and infrared burners. Giving you total temperature versatility while your grilling. The ability to combine blue flame and infrared burners in a grill, gave the flexibility of quickly sear and sealing in juices then transferring the food to the open flame to complete the cooking process.

Since then, Solaire expanded their selection of full size and portable grills. They have not added alot of bells and whistles as with the more "electrical" parts you have on a grill, the more there is to fail and replace.

These luxury grills are made from a high quality 304 stainless steel and are offered in six sizes : 21", 27", 30", 36", 42" and 56 " as built-ins or freestanding models. 

In addition to the full size grills, they also an extensive array of portables (table-top) models; Mini, AllAbout, Anywhere and Everywhere. 

Solaire Grill Features:

• Made in the USA
• Heats up in 3 minutes (a rocket under the hood)
• Push Button Battery Operated Ignition
• Stainless V-grilling grates for flavor enhancement and reducing flare-ups. 
• Removable Stainless steel warming rack 
• Drip Tray
• Lifetime warranty on Burners and V Grilling Grates (21" and larger)
• Hand Polished Mirror Accents
• Heli-arc seams (no mechanical fasteners)

There difference between the two model prefixes is  IRBQ models do NOT have a rotisserie backburner and AGBQ models do have a rotisserie back-burner. 

There are also three easily interchangeable burner configurations that you can swap anytime you want a different grilling experience : 

1. Infravection - a Combination of Infrared and Convection Burners. You can easily change the burners in your grill to all infrared or all convection should you prefer one style over another. This style gives you everything restaurant quality food has to offer.

2. Convection - Blue (Open) Flame Burners rely on hot circulating air to grill your food and transferring that heat onto a disbursement system like briquette trays, heat plates, etc to evenly heat the grilling area. 

3. Infrared - All Infrared Ceramic Searing Burners heats the food directly using uniform radiant infrared energy thus being impervious to wind. Thus intense radiating direct heat enhances natural flavor and delivers food similar to that of the finest steakhouses.

How do you clean Infrared Burners?

Maintaining these burners is simple and will keep your grill working perfect every time.

When the grill has completely cooled, remove the burner from the grill and shake out any debris out of the venturi tube. It can accumulate inside the burner. Remove the wire mesh screen and clean any grease off with a cloth or stainless scrubber. Take a shopvac and lightly vacuum the ceramic top. Look at the ceramic burner plate for any cracks. Place the screen back on the burner and put back in the grill. Do NOT brush the ceramic plate or use any water or degreaser! After each use, burn off any grease for five minutes.

Solaire is a great product and should not be passed up when considering a new grill. We love this brand and have been selling this brand since the early 2000's. They have the greatest lineup of high quality Made in the USA portable Grills. Anytime you purchase a portable grill at a big box store, you are most likely purchasing an imported product that has no support. (except for the Weber Q series)

We rate Solaire overall a 4 star brand. This is only due to the lack of a a more comprehensive selection of outdoor companion products to complete your outdoor kitchen. 

If your looking for a quality grill either built-in, freestanding or portable, Solaire gets a 5 star!
