BBQTek Split Lid Gas Grill Model #SSS3416TB

This configuration in a dual-head (split lid) grill is one I like. On one side you have a standard 3-burner gas grill and on the other side you have an infrared sear station. This lets you sear steaks (or other foods) in an independent zone while still having plenty of space for regular grilling. This also cuts down the wear and tear on your ceramic sear burner if you only use it for searing. This grill has this configuration and at a price under $300. Unfortunately this means a serious reduction in quality to give you this feature in such an inexpensive grill.

This model has been discontinued. It is replaced by the nearly identical BBQTEK Split-Lid 4-Burner Model# SSS3416TC.

This gas grill gives you a standard 3-burner grill and a dedicated infrared sear burner. This is a good configuration since you can separate your searing from your grill. This lets you do two things at the same time and reduces wear and tear on your ceramic infrared sear burner. This is important for this grill since these inexpensive infrared burners can crack under too much usage, particularly if a lot of grease or marinades are falling into the burner. Aside from this configuration this grill has no other standard features.

Unfortunately to get this feature in a grill this size for a price around $300USD there were a lot of cutbacks in quality. For instance the cooking grates on the standard grill side are simply stamped steel with a thin porcelain coating, basically a normal piece of sheet metal cut and shaped into a cooking grate and then painted with porcelain. This is typical of the internal components in this grill, simply not built to last or take much punishment.
