The problem with the average side burner on a gas grill, is its completely useless. They never work well, and most of the time the flame is so wimpy that it doesn't even get hot enough. This leads to a lot of frustration, and then most of the time what ends up happening, is you get frustrated and then never use your side burner. But even then, if it does get hot enough it still is on the surface and the wind can blow it out very easy. Rendering it ineffective. Thats why I love what Napoleon grills have done with their side burner. They use infrared heat, a ceramic burner. What this does is allow your side burner to get to 1800 degrees! So you can use pots and pans on it still but even better it becomes a sear station for additional space for cooking. Whats nice is its outside of your grill, so it doesn't overheat the entire cooking surface. So we thought we would conduct an experiment using a side burner. We cooked a huge Tomahawk Ribeye steak, by only searing it. the question is, would it work? Could you really cook a steak using nothing but a side burner! The answer was a resounding yes! In fact it turned out better then even cooking on a regular grill. What is nice, is by searing the steak, you trap all those important juices into the steak. On top of that you also allow the outside of the meat to get a little burnt, and get a nice medium rare inside temp. I love that because I get a nice little crunch on the outside and juicy medium rare on the inside. So the answer of the question, is can a side burner cook a steak! Well a Napoleon infrared side burner sure can. It was a full success, and I must say I will try this again!
