Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for Quest Grills: A hotter spot for steak on any Quest grill
The Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for Quest Grills is a drop in burner that replaces one main burner in your Quest grill. Infrared means it heats the food with direct radiant heat instead of hot air. The grate over that one spot gets much hotter, and a steak gets a dark crust in about a minute per side. It fits every Quest grill, in any main burner position. It puts out 18,000 BTUs, the same as the regular Quest burners, but delivers that energy as radiant heat. Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
You lift out one main burner and set this one in its place, with no tools and no cutting. Sear on it first, then move the meat over the regular burners to finish. It suits steak, chops, tuna, and smash burgers, with the rest of the grill left for everything slow. Have a Sizzler instead? See the Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for Sizzler Grills. The Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for Quest Grills ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Will this fit my Quest 30, 36, or 42?
Yes — the IRB-QST fits every grill in the Quest series, whatever the width. It is designed to replace any one of the main burners, so you choose the position: most owners create a sear zone at one end and keep the remaining 18,000 BTU U-tube burners for everyday grilling duties.
How much sear power does 18,000 BTUs of infrared give me?
On paper it matches the Quest’s standard burners, but the IRB-QST delivers that energy as direct radiant heat instead of heated air, so surface temperatures at the grate run dramatically higher. Practically, that means restaurant-style crust on a ribeye in about a minute per side rather than four.
What foods are worth searing on infrared?
Anything that loves a hard crust and a short cook: steaks and lamb chops first, but also ahi tuna, scallops, smash-style burgers, and thick-cut vegetables like peppers and zucchini planks. The IRB-QST turns those from timing challenges into two-minute wins, while your Quest’s regular burners handle everything low and slow.
Do I need a technician to install it?
No. This is a drop-in part: remove one existing main burner from your Quest and seat the IRB-QST in its place — Summerset describes it as plug-and-play, and there is no cutting or permanent modification involved. If you can lift out a grate and a burner, you can handle this swap yourself.
Does it matter whether my Quest is natural gas or propane?
A good question to settle before ordering. The IRB-QST spec sheet does not split the part by fuel type, so send us your grill’s SKU — QST30, QST36, or QST42, with the NG or LP suffix — and we will confirm the right configuration for your gas supply before anything ships.
What is reverse searing, and can I do it with this setup?
Reverse searing cooks meat gently first, then finishes with a blazing crust — exactly what a Quest plus the IRB-QST is built for. Roast a thick steak around 250 F over the standard burners, then transfer it to the preheated infrared zone for a final minute per side. Browse our BBQ grill lineup if you are still choosing the host grill.
How do I clean an infrared burner?
Mostly by letting it clean itself: run the IRB-QST on high for five minutes after cooking and residue burns to ash you can brush away once cool. Avoid scraping the emitter surface and keep water off it — a dry burn-off is nearly all the maintenance it needs. If it ever sputters, contact us before disassembling anything.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.

Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
