    Replace 1 of 3 burners with infrared?

    I'm buying a 36" Fire Magic Echelon grill and considering replacing 1 of the 3 burners with Infrared. Is this a good idea or unnecessary due to the heat produced by the stainless steel burners? I'll also use the charcoal/smoker basket on indirect cooks and wonder if the infrared limits my options for protein placement, drip pans, etc. Any advice out there?

    When I purchased my Blaze, I ordered an infrared burner for the left zone. I received all 4 regular burners plus the IR burner. So I do not think that they will just send out 2 regular "E" burners and an IR burner. You can contact them to make sure.

      Same here. I would be surprised if you didn't get a full set of regular burners and the sear burner. BBQ Guys chat feature will get you and answer in minutes. In my recent experience with the Blaze sear burner, I would 100% recommend you get one.

    As I recall you can get the Endeavor several ways. All infrared, 1 infrared installed and an infrared at an additional cost that you can replace one of the burners with when needed. I don't believe it affects the smoking chamber. Just call them and ask them.

      Echelon burners are mighty powerful. Many feel dedicated sear burners are unnecessarily with Echelon. You should discuss this with your Fire Magic dealer.

        Thanks everyone! I’m going to skip the sear burner in favor of the added flexibility of 3 similar burners.
