Lion L75000 32-Inch Stainless Steel Built-In Natural Gas Grill

Heats quickly

So I've now had the grill a little more than a year and overall impression on a "long-term" basis are better than earlier in my ownership. My grill is built in and hard-piped into a natural gas line off my house. Initially I felt like there was an issue getting enough gas to the burners because the temperature would peak out around 550, and if there were a strong north wind that blew into the exhaust of the grill it could actually blow it out. I really struggled with this for a while, but eventually figured out that there wasn't enough air coming in from beneath the grill. Basically, my contractor had done too good of a job building the masonry cabinet it sits on, combined with the Lion doors being to well sealing. Now if I'm grilling, I simply open the cabinet door slightly and can easily achieve ultra-hot searing temperatures. Not sure if anyone else will encounter this issue, but wanted to put it out there. Beyond that issue, I did find that the grill certainly has some hot spots. I fixed this by purchasing Grill Grates and am now a huge proponent of their product. The grates not only create perfect grill marks, but virtually assure you don't have to worry about flame up burning your food. I chose to do half grill grates, and half griddle as my go-to setup and love it. There is more than enough real estate for 6-8 steaks, and I can use the griddle to whip up sides without worrying about the food falling thru the grates. I would definitely recommend this grill as a built in solution for budget minded buyers. The only caveat is that I would encourage anyone to buy the grill grates as an add on.

I have e to say that I am not satisfied with this grill and wish I would have just spent the money for another brand. I called BBQ guys customer service and they were really good, but it still does change the quality of the grill. I can honestly say that my Weber Genesis was a better grill as far as performance is concerned. If you are going to go for a built in grill, spend a little more on a top brand and save the buyer's remorse.

Have owned this grill for 2 years now with no problems. Cooks great, cleans up very easily and I use it year round in a northern climate.

Easy assembly everything aligns I am impressed with the alignment of the doors of the cart . The reveal of the doors is the same all the way around.Beautiful piece of equipment. Only draw back when installed on a cart there is not any where to mount the electric transformer hangs off electric connection will not last long being exposed to the elements

We built an outdoor kitchen bar area about 2.5 years ago and purchased all lion products except for the bar fridge and the only reason for that was we found a $3000 brand new in the box fridge from a guy who never built his bar for $800 We did the sink, cabinet and drawers, double burner cooktop, grill, single and double fronts for access to the tanks below the grill and cooktop Everything performs perfectly and the heat is awesome!! We use our outdoor kitchen maybe 4x a week and this is by far the best grill I've ever owned The only thing left to do is build a small center for out smoker and wood fired pizza oven

**This is my second time trying to submit a review** I wrote a thorough and honest review of this grill 5 months after purchase (Mar-18), but it was not posted. Read the 1 & 2 star reviews from others. They are spot on and accurately describe how this grill performs. Of the 830sq inches of cooking space, < 300 is actually usable. Cook anything near the back and it's burned within minutes. Near the front and it doesn't cook at all. And this while using the $300 ceramic flame tamers and after fine tuning the burner tubes. Completely unacceptable. The manufacturer markets this as a "premium grill". The only thing premium about it is the price.

I've had mine now for about 5 years now. It is a great grill. Heavy duty style which cooks your food evenly. Sectionalized for easy cleaning. With proper cleaning, this grill will look and work like new for years. Very satisfied with this product. Thumbs up from this Navy veteran.

We've had the grill for 2 months and it's been great. Our previous grill was a 10+year old Weber Summit that finally wore out. This grill starts easily and heats up fast. Seems well made and I think it will last a long time. Happy customer.

I bought this grill a few years ago and have finally given up on it. The construction is beautiful, good quality and easy to maintain. However, the performance has been a disappointment. Since the day I first used it, I noticed the rear of the grill achieving significantly hotter temperatures than the front of the grill. It is difficult to cook on for this reason. You can choose to cook in the front, middle, or back, depending on the type of food you are cooking, but if you want to load the grill up with more than 6 burgers - forget it! The hot and cold variation produces way to much inconsistency. I contacted BBQ Guys (and Lion) to ask for help. They instructed me to adjust the airflow damper on the burners - no improvement. Then they recommended that I upgrade to the ceramic flames tamers to achieve a more consistent and even temperature - no improvement. With the ceramic burners, they glow red hot in the back and are not hot in the front. I like to cook on high heat, so I am forced to use the back of the grill, but the flare-ups are ridiculous! And the flare-ups are just as bad on the middle of the grill. The only way I can cook successfully on this grill is to avoid direct heat and use convection with the lid down. I heat the grill to high temperature, then completely turn off the middle two burners. It's the only way to avoid flare-ups. I will be swapping this grill out for an infrared grill.
