I want to replace my grill with a steakhouse broiler. I have no experience with any of the products I'm looking at, and it's $10k, so I can't really make a mistake. The restaurant I'm at is constantly grilling steaks and chicken. Our grill is 45" wide, but there are hot and cold spots, and there's nowhere on it that gets hot enough to char a steak. All the steaks almost look like they're steamed. Montague seems to be the most popular, but there are others like Jade that seem similar. Some are radiant and some are infrared. Infrared seems hotter, but I also read that it can break more often, and that it's so hot that it can't really be used to cook anything besides steaks. Thoughts? The most important thing to me is reliability. The Montague says infrared radiant, but I've read that it's basically just radiant. If the thing completely stops working we will not be able to open, and that would cost us more than a new broiler. If you have any experience with one of these I would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks
