Great foreasy to learn

A strong choice for a household that grills often and wants a true sear burner, but this is the top of the line in price and complexity — not a good first grill for a total beginner.

Pros

  • Owners who like it describe genuinely even heat and praise the dedicated sear burner for steaks
  • Large 6-burner-plus-sear-and-side layout suits big cookouts
  • Heats up fast and cleans up easily according to happy owners
  • Built to last (porcelain-coated cast-iron grates, stainless steel lid, includes cast-iron griddle insert)

Watch-outs

  • Firebox and grate hardware are vulnerable to grease-fire damage if flare-ups aren't managed
  • Build quality has reportedly declined compared to older generations of this same series
  • Some units arrive with shipping damage (bent or missing grates)
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • A grease fire warping the firebox badly enough to stop supporting the center grates reported within under 2 years of ownership
  • A burner failing after first use, with owners later reporting all burners reduced to a weak yellow flame
  • Newer units built with noticeably thinner metal and shorter side shelves than 6-to-7-year-old previous-generation models
