The Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared smoker, roaster, and grill takes the next step forward from our successful and award winning Big Easy by expanding on the cooking function and capability. Just like the Big Easy, there is no charcoal or oil needed. There is no spit rod to balance. There is no flare up because of the Infrared cooking system. This multi-faceted grill includes an internal smoker box which uses wood chips or pellets without the need of air dampers or a messy water pan. It works as a roaster with even Infrared heat and easy drop-in loading without heat loss or traditional rotisserie hassles. Lastly, it also works as a grill…using a premium stainless steel grate designed to cook evenly without flare-ups that can burn your food. As for the details, the highly efficient Infrared cooking system operates from 9k BTU’s to 18k BTU’s depending on the setting. You can fit up to a 25 lb. turkey in the cooking basket that also has double stack cooking capability for smaller foods. The 180 sq. In. Stainless steel grilling grate and half pound capacity stainless steel smoker box round things off. The overall design features a porcelain coated hood and cool-touch handles for a solid and durable construction.
The Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared smoker, roaster, and grill takes the next step forward from the award-winning Big Easy by expanding on its cooking function and capability. Just like the Big Easy, there is no charcoal or oil needed. It’s powered by Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared cooking system, which channels heat evenly and eliminates hot and cold spots.

Between the outer wall and inner wall of this versatile cooker is a fully enclosed, specially designed propane burner. The heated inner wall radiates natural infrared heat that penetrates food evenly and seals the juices inside. The hot air that is generated escapes out of the top of the cooking chamber before it has a chance to dry out the food. The result is meat that stays moist and tender.
An internal smoker box uses wood chips or pellets without the need of air dampers or a messy water pan, while the infrared heat is great for roasting — it fits up to a 25-pound turkey on its double-stacked rotating basket. It’s also great for grilling with its 180 square inch primary cooking area. Other features include temperature control from 9,000 to 18,000 BTUs, a meat thermometer, stay-cool handles, grease collection tray, variable temperature control, and rotary ignition. The Big Easy measures 18 by 24 by 36 inches.
How TRU-Infrared Works
All Char-Broil TRU-Infrared grills generate a minimum of 65 percent infrared heat, which is evenly spread across the entire cooking surface to cook food — without drying — at temperatures that range from simmer to sear.
Unlike traditional gas grills that use convective heat (hot air) to cook food, Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared grills limit the hot air flow and use natural, radiant heat to cook food directly without drying. While convective heat destroys food’s moisture barrier, infrared heat penetrates it without drying and locks in natural juices and flavors. Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared cooking system virtually eliminates flare-ups while producing very even heat (no hot or cold spots).

Works as it should however parts used are low quality, warranty is poor I purchased THE BIG EASY® SMOKER, ROASTER & GRILL late last year. I have used this item quite a bit since and it works well and doesn’t consume a lot of propane like my full size grill does. I have however had some significant issues with this item that CharBroil did not resolve to my satisfaction. On purchasing this grill I read the instructions fully and assembled the grill. I seasoned the grill with cooking oil as recommended to protect the grill as described. I used the grill several times…
This unit is excellent! I was asked this Thanksgiving if I wanted to deep fry a turkey. Well, of course I said yes! So I went to a local store and was going to buy a deep fryer and a ton of oil, and set it up. When I got there, I saw the deep fryer, and a smaller version of this Char-Broil unit on display. For the cost of the deep fryer and oil, I could buy the smaller unit. Now, I knew it wasn’t a deep fryer, but I was intrigued by the “infrared grill”. So instead of buying either, I went home to do some…
Best Grill We’ve Owned I bought this grill for my husband for Christmas 2009. It has been the best grill we’ve owned! We grill a lot of steaks, chicken, shrimp and crab — the results are consistent and continue to impress us. Our filet mignon is better than any restaraunt, the chicken is moist and flavorful,and the seafood is always perfect because the temperature is so easy to control. My husband’s favorite aspects of the infrared cooking method are no flare-ups and even heat distribution. Why eat out when you…
