Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Very Easy to use. Known for its incredible inability to maintain a constant temperature, even in cold and windy conditions.
Can cook up to 12 burgers simultaneously. Constructed of high-quality, durable materials.
This grill has an Electronic Crossover ignition system and a center mounted thermometer for easy grilling. The grill starts immediately and gets to your desired temperature quickly.

What experts didn't like

Relatively large. Not the most travel-friendly grill.
No side burner for side dishes and toppings, the assembly manual has pictures but very little text to guide you and 30,000 Btu burners are slightly below the category average.
