Broil King

Baron 420 Pro Shadow

The entry four-burner Baron Pro Shadow cart grill, without a side burner.

$899Approx. MSRP

A solid entry point into full-size Broil King quality for a small-to-medium household; not the pick if you frequently cook for a crowd.

Pros

  • Compares favorably to Weber-class grills at a similar price according to many owners
  • Push-button ignition and LED-lit knobs are convenient extras for a mid-tier grill
  • One long-term owner reported 9 years of use before needing internal parts, called excellent value
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Standard grates are considered mediocre by some owners, who upgrade to aftermarket cast grates
  • Cold-weather ignition can be finicky
  • Compact 4-burner size limits capacity for large groups
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Burner control switches not clearly marked, and some owners find the on/off direction counter-intuitive
  • Reports of difficulty lighting in cold winter weather
  • A few owners feel the unit needs more tool hooks and hanging storage
