No sir. 100% gas. The IR is a ceramic plate with many small openings where gas comes through, and burn collectively. Like the ceramic burners on a Souvlaki cooker you see in restaurants.
I know where you are coming from. I have a charcoal/wood smoker. I will say my steaks are just phenomenal. I don't know what kind of temperatures you can get with direct heat over briquettes / lump (hotter), but that IR is remarkable.

@mvallin All over it. I can't stand t-bone, but rib-steak (half deal) makes me happy.

But finishing up w/ a starter amount of coals @ the end of a grill session is a bit expensive. Eventhough, I think I'd like to try it at least once.

I can get a great sear @ 380-400 over the coal to finishing up from off the coals @ 250-275.

Oh the sear on this IR is much hotter than that.
In any case, try the reverse. It has biochemistry on it's side. Actually I did a comparison in another video.

It's only my opinion, but gas grills defeat the purpose of putting anything on the grill at all.
