I'm looking to buy a gas grill. The one I have been eying is the Fire Magic
Custom I portable (with rotisserie back burner and no side burner) using
propane. Now I see that they have an infrared option. It appears that
either one half can be infrared or all infrared. This means I have to make
a decision on something that I don't know anything about. So what are
people's take on having infrared?

I only have infrared on the rotisserie burner. If I was buying a grill
today, I'd go for it. Check out the Napoleon grill also. They explain the
infrared on their web page. Sound great for steaks.

I'm looking at their site. The only model small enough is this one:
http://www.napoleongrills.com/Websha...s/PT308RB.html

Which is somewhat ugly and not 100% stainless steel. One of the things that
I've noticed is that the highest quality grills are only available in
larger sizes, except for Fire Magic. I would be putting this on a deck, and
depth of the grill is a big concern. Plus when the lid is lifted I don't
want it sticking far out the back. The FM one doesn't. It appears that this
Napolean one may, but it isn't clear from the little picture along the
left.

Though I'm the the type that would sear the outside and consider it done.

I've been trying to assemble the Fire Magic model numbers. It seems that
what I like is the 22-S2L1P-61.
