Know before you buy
Yes. With the combined power of the main burners and the exclusive Plus burner, the grill can reach temperatures up to 700°F, making it well-suited for achieving a proper sear on steaks and chops.
Absolutely. The high-dome lid provides enough vertical clearance to accommodate larger cuts of meat or whole chickens, allowing for versatile roasting options beyond standard grilling.
The grill weighs 31.6 pounds and features a compact design, making it manageable to transport for tailgating or camping trips. While it is lightweight, it is sturdy enough to provide a stable cooking surface once set up.
The Plus burner provides an extra layer of temperature control, allowing you to fine-tune your heat settings. It enables a wider range of cooking styles, from low-and-slow roasting at 250°F to high-heat searing.
The grates are porcelain-enameled, which helps prevent food from sticking and makes them easier to clean than raw cast iron. Regular brushing after use and occasional deep cleaning will keep them in top condition.
The grill includes the stand and side tables, but you will need to provide your own liquid propane tank. It uses a standard electronic ignition system, so you won't need matches or a lighter to get started.
