BIG HORN 16-inch Infrared Propane Grill — 1500°F Portable Stainless Steel Salamander, 19,000 BTU

BIG HORN OUTDOORS 1500°F Infrared Propane Grill is a compact, stainless-steel tabletop salamander-style broiler that delivers restaurant-level top-down searing up to 1500°F for fast, high-heat cooking.

This portable 16-inch gas grill combines a 19,000 BTU infrared burner and a 7-position adjustable rack to give you precise searing, melting, and finishing power in a small footprint. Engineered for backyard cooks, tailgaters, and campers, it heats to extreme temperatures quickly while concentrating heat top-down like professional salamanders. The stainless-steel construction, removable racks, and dishwasher-safe components make maintenance straightforward, and the included pizza stone expands cooking options beyond steaks.

How quickly does this outdoor broiler reach searing temperature?

The built-in 19,000 BTU infrared burner heats the chamber extremely fast — up to 1500°F in about 3–5 minutes under normal conditions. This rapid heat-up shortens cook time and produces a strong top-down sear that caramelizes surfaces without prolonged exposure.

• 19,000 BTU infrared burner for concentrated heat
• 1500°F (800°C) maximum temperature in 3–5 minutes
• Top-down salamander-style searing for crust formation
• Reduced overall cook time compared with ordinary tabletop grills

What cooking styles and foods work best with this sear station?

Its intense top-down infrared heat excels at finishing steaks, melting cheese, glazing ribs, and crisping toppings. The adjustable 7-tier rack and included pizza stone expand usage to broiling, baking, finishing, and quick char-grilling of vegetables and seafood.

• High-heat searing for steaks, chops, and burgers
• Glazing and finishing for ribs, fish, and sauced dishes
• Pizza stone for high-heat pizza and flatbreads
• Multiple rack positions for varied browning and baking depths

How user-friendly and safe is the unit for outdoor use?

Designed for convenience, it features a windproof one-touch pulse ignition and a compact tabletop form factor that suits patios, tailgates, and campsites. The stainless-steel shell resists rust and the removable components simplify cleaning; still, a quick pre-use inspection and routine cleaning are recommended for reliable performance.

• Windproof pulse ignition for reliable startups
• Stainless-steel construction resists corrosion outdoors
• Removable, dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleanup
• Compact tabletop design for portable cooking locations

What setup and maintenance should I expect?

Assembly is minimal and largely tool-free; attach the burner and racks, connect a standard small propane cylinder, and you’re ready. After use, let components cool, brush off residues, and remove detachable parts for washing to maintain peak performance and safety.

• Quick tool-free assembly and attachment of racks
• Connects to common portable propane cylinders
