Philips smokeless infrared grill

Glad that it works for you.

It wouldn't for me 'cause I do southern BBQ and that involves lots of smoke. When I grill I want the fire as close to the meat as possible and most always that involves wood smoke also. Heck, I've been known to lay the meat directly on the burning lump charcoal. Yeah, what I do just wouldn't work for you, but glad you found something that does. You can even use yours indoors. I can't do that.

Yeah, it's definitely not "real" grilling or barbecuing in the sense that there's fire or charcoal but, I have to say, I was seriously skeptical that it would produce anything resembling grilled food and have been pleasantly surprised. I made chicken thighs last night and they were as good as I've ever made. Juicy and browned with crispy skin.

Your comment reminded me of growing up and attending real barbecues where they'd do a pig or lamb on the spit. For my high school graduation party, we had a pig and a couple of turkeys on the spit. The pitmaster stuck sausage on the skewers that were holding the turkeys on so they were cooked in turkey fat. Absolutely delicious!
