Rusting out - burner issues - decals flaked off

Terrible quality for the price point. What is regarded as the top of the line bbq from Broil King, makes me feel that anything under this level is just garbage. The reason is that my imperial xl has several issues over the years: Side panel and base rusting out Front panel decals all flaked off Burner issues Cannot keep heat Temperature gauges, bubbling / rusting out

Very well built but uneven cooking

Unit is quite well built. After first year the igniters all died. Onward sent me replacements immediately. I remove the burners and grills every winter and cover it up nice. The screws that hold the burners require oil to unseize them. Generally it's held up well. Biggest issue is that it cooks completely uneven. The far left burner cooks hot, next to it takes 2x long to produce same results. The next two burners are a bit better but not much. The cast iron right separate two are very good and hot. I use them to sear the meat. The problem is the main cooking area. I wound not mind if it were a $200 bbq but it's a premium expensive unit. Would like some help and a fix for this.

Works very well, but not without challenges.

We have had ours for about 5 years. It is a natural gas grill, which we enjoy and has worked well. But, not sure if that had anything to do with the pilots lasting for less than a season. Also it is not very strong structurally, because it sits on a slightly uneven surface which makes left door unhinged and other drawers hard to open. Lastly, the grids from back then were probably of lesser quality and cannot be kept clean. As far as burners, grilling durability, quality of cooking - absolutely great.

Disappointed

Just purchased the Imperial XL which has some great features which I guess is why it was chosen. Oven lights and illuminated controls are great. However the design of the grease tray for the bigger grill involves disconnecting the gas regulator when you need to clean. Then getting the 13kg gas bottle out to actually disconnect is a very difficult almost Herculean task. Not really a good design for the British market. Added to this ever time you attempt to remove the gas tank it catches on the ignition wires which fire up the burners. Ideally the gas line should have some form of quick release or you could use the 5 kg gas bottle but these only last a few weeks so an expensive option. Also after just using the grill aa couple of times the state of the vapour bars and trays is very shabby and discoloured. Very difficult to clean and looking rusty already.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Please ensure the grease cup is on the right side of the grease tray, this will allow you to access the cup by pulling open the drawer, not the door for the tank. You can also remove the grease tray from the side of the cabinet. The discolouration on the Flav-R-Wave is normal, stainless steel discolours to a light brown colour at over 200C. This will not affect the performance of the grill. We will be following up via email to discuss these issues further. Thank you,

Wish I would have purchased sooner!

I purchased the Imperial 490 just before Christmas 2016, I've been looking for a new BBQ for about 4 years. I found a great retailer in Grande Prairie, they were very helpful & had a great display. The Imperial 490 has everything I want in a BBQ but not so massive that it was intimidating to use, the lid isn't too heavy and I have all the options I wanted. Again I wish I would have purchased it sooner.

Good grill but has some Issues

I have own this bbq for 3 years now, last year i noticed that the chrome around the temperature gauges was starting to peel away, Well now the both gauges have lost all the chrome and looks terrible. I would have expected more from a bbq of this price point to stay in better shape. I even have a breathable cover that was recommend so the the moisture doesn't sit underneath the cover and cause issues. The little plastic tabs for the doors that keep the doors on and opening have all disappeared they fall off and end up going through the cracks in the deck, I would thought they would have a little better design for theses. Overall the rest of the bbq seems quite fine,the lights are a nice feature and hydro hookup is a great idea.

Expert Review

The Skinny:

  • Made in the USA
  • Excellent Value
  • High BTU Dual Tube Burners
  • Many great features at a good price

By: BBQGuys Staff

Things We Love:

Broil King's Regal and Imperial Series Gas Grills are top of the line for Broil King, especially the Imperial. They are a great value and are loaded with many great features. Some of my favorites include: control knob lights that are great for night time entertaining, storage shelves inside the cart, tool hooks with side shelf bins, and pull out tank drawers for the propane models. The Imperial Series also feature a pull out drawer in the side shelves, as well as interior oven lights.

  • I really like the Stainless Steel Dual Tube Burners. This Dual Tube design creates an efficient double row of flame, powered by a high BTU, which results in solid, high heat output. The Regal Series comes in 4, 5, and 6 burner configurations, and the Imperial Series comes in 5 and 6 burner configurations.

  • Dual Tube Burners
    Stainless Steel Dual Tube Burners

The Regal and Imperial Series also feature the Broil King Stainless Steel Flav-R-Wave flame tamers which are great. Above the Flav-R-Wave's, I love the heavy gauge, 9mm Stainless Steel thick and durable cooking grids found on the Regal Series. The Imperial Series cooking grids are even better and tougher, made of reversible Cast Stainless Steel. These reversible grids create steakhouse sear marks on one side, and the other side is grooved to capture juices for continuous basting.

  • I love that these grills come with a side burner and rotisserie. The side burner is perfect for creating mouth-watering side dishes, soups, or sauces while you grill. The powerful 15,000 BTU Stainless Steel Rotisserie Burner comes complete with a premium spit rod and motor, which delivers consistent even heat for excellent cooking results. The side burner isn't available on the Regal S420, and the rear burner isn't available on the Regal S420 & S440.

  • Person grilling food and utilizing the side burner

From a durability perspective I like the Stainless Steel Cook box with cast aluminum end caps, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The Regal XLS and the Imperial XLS feature two independent stainless steel cook boxes that offer the ability to sear in one oven, while cooking at different temperatures in the other oven.

Things To Consider:

While the limited lifetime warranty on the cook box is great, the warranty on the remaining grill components is lower than several other competitors. Also note there is no ceramic infrared sear burner available.

You'll Like This Grill If:

You want an American made grill, loaded with features, at a good price.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
