Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for TRL Pro Grills: A hotter spot for a steak crust

The Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for TRL Pro Grills is a drop in burner that replaces one main burner in your 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 the TRL Pro 32 and the TRL Pro 40, in any main burner position. It delivers 20,000 BTUs, the same heat output as the regular cast burners, but 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 the cook who makes steak every week on a TRL Pro. Cooking on a Quest instead? See the Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for Quest Grills. The Summerset Infrared Sear Burner for TRL Pro Grills ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ

Which TRL Pro grills take this sear burner?

The spec sheet lists the IRB-TRL as fitting the TRL Pro 32 and TRL Pro 40. It can replace any main burner position in either grill, so you decide whether the sear zone lives at the end of the firebox or right in the middle of the cooking surface.

Does its 20,000 BTU rating match my grill’s burners?

Yes, deliberately. The TRL Pro’s cast stainless main burners run 20,000 BTUs, and the IRB-TRL delivers the same rating through an infrared emitter instead of open flame. Nothing about your grill’s gas behavior changes — you simply trade one convective burner for concentrated radiant searing power.

How is infrared different from the cast burners already in my grill?

Your TRL Pro’s cast stainless burners heat air and grates — ideal for even, controllable cooking. Infrared skips the air and beams heat straight into the food, which is what produces a deep crust before the interior overcooks. Together they cover the full range; see the infrared gas grill category for how builders use both.

How fast does it actually sear?

Summerset promises searing in minutes, and that holds up: after a short preheat the IRB-TRL will crust a 1.5-inch ribeye in about 90 seconds per side. At 20,000 BTUs of radiant output it is the strongest burner in Summerset’s drop-in sear family — fitting, since it feeds the flagship TRL Pro.

Where should the sear burner go in the firebox?

Any main burner position works, but the end spot is the popular choice: it creates a distinct sear station with a natural temperature gradient across the rest of the TRL Pro’s grates. Sear over the IRB-TRL, then slide food toward the cooler side to finish without ever leaving the grill.

Is upgrading a grill burner really worth it?

If you cook steak regularly, it is the highest-impact upgrade per dollar you can make to a TRL Pro. You already own the premium #304 body and cast burners; the IRB-TRL adds the one capability the stock configuration lacks — true radiant searing — without buying an entire second appliance.

Will an infrared burner wear out faster than a standard one?

No — and Summerset stands behind that with the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty on the IRB-TRL. Give it a five-minute burn-off after greasy cooks, keep the emitter dry, and let it cool before covering the grill, and this burner should outlast several sets of grill grates.
