Broil King

Gem 310 Shadow

A compact three-burner pedestal cart grill with a Therma-Cast aluminum oven, the smallest gas grill in Broil King's cart lineup.

$399Approx. MSRP

An okay budget option for a beginner grilling in a sheltered spot, but skip it if you live somewhere windy or want fine low-temperature control.

Pros

  • Compact and portable-friendly compared to full-size grills
  • Good value for the price point
  • Most owners report satisfaction despite the issues above
  • Easy on the wallet ($399)
  • Built to last (therma-cast aluminum oven with stainless steel lid wrap; black powder-coat steel pedestal)

Watch-outs

  • Ignition reliability is a recurring weak point on this model
  • Low-heat control is inconsistent, complicating slower cooking
  • Performs poorly in windy conditions
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Ignition button can jam in the 'on' position on some units, requiring it to be loosened or removed
  • Igniter doesn't always light every burner reliably, some owners resort to matches
  • Temperature can hover around 500-600°F regardless of knob position on some units, with unclear manual guidance
  • Uneven heat between burners at matching dial settings, and flames blow out easily in wind
