Does the infrared burner in the rear make it difficult or different to use the traditional burners in the front?

The infrared burner is for the rotisserie. It is not in use when you are grilling on the surface. It is not in the way of the traditional burners and does not make use any different. I have not yet used the infrared burner yet but I put it on once by mistake while grilling and was wondering why the polish sausage I was cooking was going so fast. When I discovered it I just turned the infrared burner off.

I believe the smaller burner would be OK. I would not try a plate of food on the larger burner. It is pretty hot. The cast iron burner covering the electric element takes quite awhile to cool down. I have only the single large burner. It works great for cooking, but I would not put a plate of food on it.

The top burners are very different from other camp chef stoves. They definitely do not throw the heat that the rest do and yes you can throttle the fire back to simmer. The fuel/ air mix seems perfect, blue flame and NO soot to scrub off the outside of the pot. I think it does use more fuel than they claim,, but the small bottles are easy to carry and they can be refilled.

Unfortunately Mr. Davis is correct. I have put a small aluminum pan on top of the burner on one side, set the burner to low and proceed. The pan collects the drippings and deflects the fire. It works if you have the time.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

Both. The main burners, of which there are 4, run front to back. They are connected together fore and aft by burners that run side to side. It is the hottest temperature-wise grill I have ever owned (about 12 grills).

Front to back. There are 3 main burners, and an additional burner between the two left burners, that creates the sear station.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

I have noticed this as well the rear has a flame that goes the full width of the BBQ grill to connect the flame on each burner. I cook on the back half of the grill and keep stuff in the front portion to keep warm\slow cook.

The V side faces the front burner knobs. It faces in a backwards v shape and the straight side is to the back.

Yes, I know for sure that the smaller burner does. The bigger burner didn't last long at all and I only used it twice on a lower setting.

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

Their are two knobs that independently control each burner. Beware, they don't work well on the low setting. They don't adjust very well and for this reason the unit is frustrating.

This unit has the burners too close together. You have to use small pans. It does boil water and the secondary burner runs a little hot. I have used this for 4 months and would not purchase it again. I would look for burners that were a little further apart.

yes theres a spot for another burner--as far as the wires inside the case I don't know---I never had the front off---I never seen one that didnt

Yes, you can utilize two burners. We use the large center burner on our stove.
