Things We Love:
In all of my years in this industry, I have to say Hestan has some of the most truly unique, innovative features, with practical benefits that I've never seen.
You will notice these innovations, as soon as you lift the lid. The Spring-assisted Horizon Hood™ lifts with ease, and can stay balanced in any position. Besides being just plain cool, this also keeps the grill lid from ever slamming shut and allows you to keep an eye on things while grilling.
Hestan grills also feature motion activated under hood halogen Stadium Lighting™, which lights up every time you lift the lid. Not only is it great for nighttime grilling, but you will never have to worry about accidentally leaving the lights on, because they turn off when the lid is closed.
Cook like a pro with the Salamander positioned ceramic infrared top burner, which provides intense heat that delivers 12,500 to 18,000 BTU's. Not only is this the burner that cooks your food on the rotisserie, but also doubles as a restaurant style broiler, which can be quicker and more efficient than broiling in an oven.
To use this burner for broiling or finishing, simply put your food on the lasered DiamondCut 5/16" stainless steel warming rack. It's tough enough to handle the intense heat of the top burner, without warping. This versatile rack can be placed in one of 3 positions, depending on if you want your food closer or further away from the top burner. When not in use, the rack can be easily folded down at the back of the grill, which is a smart storage feature.
The rotisserie system is an ultra quiet, concealed, motorized chain driven system, which can hold up to 50 pounds, and always stays perfectly balanced. When your done with your rotisserie, store your rod behind the back panel, another great storage feature.
Hestan are all made using 304 grade stainless steel and feature a heavy gauge welded body construction. Maintain the perfect flame with the precision control of the 321 grade stainless steel Trellis tubular style burners, which are lit with hot surface glowing ignition. Based on 500 hours of 3rd party testing, Hestan found the 321 Stainless Steel to be the most durable material for their Trellis burners. Hestan grills are available with all Trellis burners, or with an installed, ceramic infrared sear burner in place of one of the Trellis burners.
I really love the lasered, DiamondCut 5/16″ stainless steel cooking grates. The extra wide grids allows for more surface area to contact your food, which means more flavor and caramelization. The cooking grates also feature smart finger holes in the corners, which makes them easy to flip, allowing for easy cleaning. Underneath the grates you will find symmetrical flip-to-clean radiant trays with ceramic briquettes, enclosed in Stainless Steel. These help to provide even heat distribution, and burn off the underside, while exposing the clean side.
Hestan Gas Grills have a unique style that is truly different from the competition. These luxury grills feature a Marquise accented control panel and hood handle, commercial grade end caps, and die cast control knobs. These features, along with others, compliment the beauty, durability, and craftsmanship, that you get with a Hestan Gas Grill.
Hestan Gas Grills typically come stocked in stainless steel, however, they offer an array of Signature Colors to give your outdoor grill a uniqueness like no other. Call our experts if interested in ordering any of the Signature Colors.
Things To Consider:
While the ceramic briquette flame tamers are great for even heat distribution, I did notice a bit more flare up than I would have hoped for.
