Performance Series FlavorMax 4-Burner Cart Grill

Mid-size 4-burner open-cart gas grill with 435 sq in of primary cooking area and a Gear Trax accessory rail.

$299Approx. MSRP

Good for someone who wants a full-size cart grill with a genuine sear zone, but expect to manage some hot/cold spots across the main cooking area.

Pros

  • Propane tank mounts securely and the cart feels heavy-duty
  • Grease cup is heavy metal rather than flimsy foil, so it holds up
  • Lights quickly and most owners report no major complaints
  • Easy on the wallet ($299)
  • Built to last (porcelain-coated cast-iron grates, stainless steel lid, porcelain-coated steel firebox)

Watch-outs

  • Heat distribution across the main burners is inconsistent
  • Igniter requires a battery, which some owners forget to check
  • Assembly is more fiddly than the diagrams suggest
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Uneven heat: the dedicated sear burner runs hot but the other three burners run more like a warmer with hot spots up front
  • Grease can catch fire before it burns off, producing heavy smoke
  • Assembly instructions described as unclear by multiple owners
