Guide Review - MHP Heritage Series WHRG4 Gas Grill with Infrared Burner

It was only a matter of time before someone came out with a cast aluminum gas grill with an infrared burner. This grill produces high temperatures and promises to preheat in minutes. Because of the cast aluminum body, this grill comes in at a price around $1,000. So if you want to get that perfect sear on a steak this is a grill that won't break your bank account. The versatility of one infrared burner and two standard burners will let you grill anything and be happy with it.

It's probably fitting that MHP (Modern Home Products) is the one to bring the world affordable infrared. After all they are one of the first makers of backyard gas grills, introducing their first gas grill in 1960. This company has a great reputation for quality products and have been in the business longer than anyone. With this infrared gas grill they are offering consumers a great grill at a great price.

While lacking in a modern design this grill has great internal features to complete its infrared power. The heavy duty stainless steel cooking grates help put a good sear on foods and will last for a long time. The cast stainless steel burners will last virtually for ever. You also get independent electronic ignitors, a large cooking are and a built in gas leak detector on LP models. This unit can be mounted on a permanent pedestal, mobile cart or in a custom enclosure.
