Professional Lynx 42" Overview
Crafted in the USA from seamlessly welded 304 stainless steel, the Lynx L42TR is engineered for years of reliable outdoor cooking. Its polished finish resists the elements while eliminating seams where grease and moisture can collect.
Premium features include the signature fluid-rotation hood handle, Lynx Hood Assist for effortless lifting, and a patented wind-deflecting hood design that helps maintain stable cooking temperatures even in breezy conditions.
Hybrid Burner Configuration
The L42TR features two ceramic burners and one Trident infrared burner, allowing you to grill, roast, rotisserie cook, and sear with exceptional flexibility.
- 2 Cast Ceramic Burners: 25,000 BTUs each (50,000 BTUs total)
- 1 Trident Infrared Burner: 23,000 BTUs
- Rear Infrared Rotisserie Burner: 14,000 BTUs
- Total Grill Output: 87,000 BTUs
The cast ceramic burners are manufactured from durable cordierite ceramic, providing even heat distribution while resisting rust and corrosion. Ceramic radiant briquettes sit above the burners to reduce flare-ups, distribute heat evenly, and vaporize food drippings to enhance flavor.
Trident Infrared Technology
Exclusive to Lynx Professional grills, the Trident infrared burner delivers adjustable infrared heat from approximately 300°F to 1,000°F. Unlike traditional sear burners that operate only at maximum heat, the Trident burner can also cook delicate foods at lower temperatures, making it ideal for everything from seafood and vegetables to steakhouse-quality searing.
The result is faster preheating, efficient fuel use, and precise temperature control across an exceptionally wide cooking range.

Maintenance & Performance FAQ
1. What maintenance is required for ceramic burners and briquettes?
The ceramic burners are largely self-cleaning during high-heat operation but should be handled carefully to avoid damage. Periodically inspect the burners and briquettes for cracks or excessive wear, and brush away food debris after cooking.
2. What is the difference between ceramic and Trident burners?
Ceramic burners provide consistent radiant heat for everyday grilling and indirect cooking, while the Trident infrared burner offers adjustable temperatures from approximately 300°F to 1,000°F for both delicate foods and restaurant-quality searing.
3. Can I use the Trident burner every day?
Yes. Unlike many infrared burners designed primarily for searing, the Trident burner's variable heat output makes it suitable for everyday grilling at both lower and higher temperatures.
4. Is the L42TR a good first Lynx grill?
Yes. Its combination of ceramic and infrared cooking makes it one of the most versatile models in the Lynx Professional lineup.
5. Should I choose the L42ATR instead?
Choose the L42ATR if you prefer cooking entirely with infrared heat and want maximum searing capability across the full cooking surface.
6. Should I choose the 36" or 42" Lynx grill?
The L36TR is an excellent choice for most homeowners, while the L42TR is ideal for those who could use the extra cooking space for larger meals, entertaining, or preparing multiple dishes at the same time. Its 39-inch-wide cooking grid and 1,200 square inches of total cooking area provide additional room when you need it.
