Broil King

Crown 420 Shadow

The entry four-burner Crown Shadow cart grill with a porcelain-enameled lid and cast iron cooking grids.

$699Approx. MSRP

A good compact entry grill for a couple or small family who wants Broil King reliability without paying for extra burners or searing features they won't use.

Pros

  • Compact 4-burner footprint suits smaller patios
  • Cast aluminum firebox resists rust better than painted-steel boxes on cheaper grills
  • Heats quickly and holds temperature well according to most owners
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • A slight cart/table slant has been reported, annoying for pan use
  • Basic feature set compared to Baron/Regal lines (no rotisserie or infrared)
  • Standard 2-year parts warranty
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Side table and burner reported as slightly slanted on some units, causing pans to drain to one side
  • Ignition electrode buildup requiring occasional cleaning, common across the Broil King line
