Broil King

Baron 490 Pro Shadow

A four-burner Baron Pro Shadow cart grill with a cast aluminum cookbox and 10,000 BTU cast iron side burner.

$1,159Approx. MSRP
Great forsearing steaks

A sensible mid-size choice for a family that grills weekly and wants Broil King build quality without paying Regal Pro prices.

Pros

  • Even heat distribution across the grates, well reviewed by long-term owners
  • 4-burner size is a practical middle ground of space and price
  • Solid heavy-gauge construction for the price tier
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Cast iron grates need regular oiling or they rust within a season
  • Side shelf space and tool hooks are limited compared to pricier lines
  • Basic 2-year parts warranty
  • Heavy (157 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Same Baron-line rust risk on grates and lower housing if not maintained
  • Some owners find burner control dial labeling unclear or reversed from what they expect
