Brand Overview

87 Years of Steakhouse Science, Built for Your Backyard

Schwank Grills wasn't born in a startup garage — it was forged in 1938 when Gunther Schwank patented gas infrared technology for professional kitchens. Three generations and 87 years later, the same overhead infrared burner technology that powers Morton's, Del Frisco's, Peter Luger, CUT by Wolfgang Puck, and Gibson's is now available in a handcrafted, USA-made grill for serious home cooks. As featured in Food & Wine, Wall Street Journal, Bon Appétit, and Serious Eats — Schwank isn't a trend. It's the benchmark.

Real Schwank Grills Customer Reviews

What serious home cooks and backyard chefs are saying after taking the plunge.

★★★★★

"I've owned every high-end grill on the market — Big Green Egg, Weber Summit, even a wood-fired Santa Maria. Nothing compares to the Schwank. The crust it puts on a ribeye in 90 seconds is genuinely indistinguishable from my favourite NYC steakhouse. Best cooking investment I've ever made."

★★★★★

"My husband is obsessed. We threw a dinner party and seared 8 steaks for guests — everyone was blown away. The speed alone is worth it: from fridge to plate in under 15 minutes. The no-flare-up overhead design means you're not fighting the grill; you're just cooking."

Sarah M.

★★★★☆

"The results are undeniably phenomenal — best steak crust I've ever produced at home. My only gripe is the price point, but Schwank's financing makes it workable and frankly it's cheaper than a weekend in a nice steakhouse. The accessories set is worth adding at checkout."

FAQ

Schwank Grills — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying a Schwank Grill.

What makes Schwank different from a regular gas grill? +

A regular gas grill burns fuel below the food, causing flare-ups from dripping fat and uneven heat that creates a grey overcooked band through the meat. Schwank's overhead infrared burners radiate 1500°F heat downward onto the surface of the meat — just like the commercial broilers at top steakhouses. The result is a deep Maillard crust in seconds, no grey band, and a juicier interior because the cook time is so fast.

What restaurants use Schwank infrared technology? +

Schwank's infrared technology has been used commercially since the 1980s by elite steakhouses including Morton's The Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Double Eagle, Peter Luger Steak House, CUT by Wolfgang Puck, and Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse. These restaurants have relied on overhead infrared heat for decades to produce their signature sear.

Is a Schwank Grill good for foods other than steak? +

Yes — while steak is the showpiece, Schwank's overhead infrared heat excels at searing pork chops, lamb chops, thick-cut salmon, lobster tails, chicken thighs, and even vegetables. The seven adjustable lift levels let you control intensity to match different proteins and thickness levels.

Where is the Schwank Grill made? +

Every Schwank Grill is handcrafted in the USA with German-engineered infrared burner technology at its core. This domestic manufacturing ensures quality control standards that mass-produced grills simply cannot match.

How long does it take to reach 1500°F? +

Schwank Grills heat up extremely quickly — infrared burners reach operating temperature in roughly 3 minutes, far faster than charcoal (30–60 min) or even conventional gas grills. Once at temperature, the sear itself takes under 90 seconds per side.

What is the Schwank Grills return and warranty policy? +

Schwank offers a 14-day no-questions satisfaction guarantee on all grills. If you're not satisfied within 14 days, you can return for a full refund. Beyond that, Schwank's warranty policy covers manufacturing defects — extended warranty options are also available at purchase for additional peace of mind.

Is Schwank Grill safe to use indoors or in a covered area? +

Schwank Grills run on gas and produce combustion byproducts — they should always be used in well-ventilated outdoor spaces. Do not use under a low, enclosed cover. A pergola or open-sided structure with good airflow is fine; a fully enclosed garage or shed is not appropriate.

Does the Schwank Grill work with both natural gas and propane? +

Schwank Grills are available in both propane and natural gas configurations. Check the product listing for your preferred fuel type when ordering, or contact Schwank's customer support to confirm compatibility with your outdoor setup.
