Set the broiler up outdoors, connect the propane, and sear steak or pizza fast. The Big Horn Outdoors infrared broiler reaches 1,500°F in 3 to 5 minutes and weighs 32 pounds, making it practical for camping and tailgates.
Why Is the Infrared Broiler Portable?
The Big Horn Outdoors infrared broiler measures 16 by 25 by 15.4 inches and weighs 32 pounds, so it is compact enough to carry to a campsite or tailgate.
Its modest size and weight make it easy to move and set up outdoors. It runs on propane, which is convenient for travel. The broiler balances high heat with portability.
How to Set It Up at a Campsite
Place the broiler on a stable, heat-safe surface away from tents and brush, then connect the propane. Use it in open air.
A level, stable surface and clearance from flammable material are the main setup steps. Keep it away from tents and dry brush. Treat it like any propane appliance at a campsite.
What Fuel Does It Use?
It runs on propane, so bring a tank or canister and a secure connection. Propane is easy to carry for camping.
The broiler is propane-fueled, so pack the tank and check the connection. Propane is a convenient travel fuel. Bring enough propane and keep the hose clear.
What You Can Cook at a Campsite
You can cook steak, seafood, vegetables, and even pizza at a campsite. The high heat handles all of them fast.
The broiler's 1,500°F heat sears steak and fish quickly, and the included pizza stone bakes pizza. It is a compact, versatile campsite cooker. It covers a full outdoor meal.
How to Use It at a Tailgate
Set it up on a tailgate table, away from the vehicle and crowds, and cook quick, high-heat food. It suits fast tailgate meals.
A tailgate table or the ground works if stable and heat-safe. Keep it clear of the vehicle and people. The broiler's speed makes it great for tailgating.
What to Pack With It
Pack the broiler, propane, tongs, a thermometer, and a peel if you plan pizza. Keep the gear organized.
Tongs and a thermometer make cooking safer, and a peel helps with pizza. Keep everything in a bin for easy setup. A small organized kit covers the trip.
