The main difference between an infrared grill and regular grill that we are all familiar with comes down to one major thing: direct versus indirect.  With a traditional charcoal or gas grill, convection energy is used to heat up and cook your food.  The initial energy source is  either charcoal, natural gas or propane.  This is used to heat the air surrounding the grill.  Your food gets cooked indirectly through what is called the convection process,  from the warmer air around the food rather than directly heating the food itself.

With infrared grills, the food is cooked directly through infrared radiation.  The burner on the grill is heated to a very hot temperature which produces infrared radiation.  The food cooks directly from the heat produced by the burner.  This results in faster cooking times, more evenly cooked food, and less of a tendency for the food to get overcooked or dried out than it would be using traditional grilling methods.
