$499Approx. MSRP
Great forfeeding a crowdsearing steakssmash burgers & breakfast

Good for households that entertain often and want a big, weather-protected cooking station; skip it if you have limited outdoor space or want to avoid ongoing steel maintenance.

Pros

  • Four independently controlled burners across a large 768 sq in surface, good for cooking for a crowd
  • Hinged hood protects the plate and helps retain heat
  • X-braced hood and rear grease management are solid upgrades over older 36" designs
  • Loads of cooking room — 768 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Serious heat (60,000 BTU) — sears fast

Watch-outs

  • Large footprint needs real patio or driveway space
  • Quality control on shipping/assembly is inconsistent — inspect on delivery
  • Still requires regular oiling to prevent rust despite the hood
  • Flat top only — no grill marks or low-and-slow smoke

Known niggles

  • Rust reported on cooktops and frames of units used only occasionally, even in summer
  • Shipping damage reported: bent wheel brackets, dented hoods, and missing hardware on a portion of units
  • Wheel/leveling threads reported as too short by some owners, requiring shims to level the unit
