Broil King Regal S 490 PRO IR 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill With Rotisserie & Infrared Side Burner - Stainless Steel - 956944

Answer, the Rotisserie !

Sears a steak great Really Gets hot! Use it almost every day

This grill is NICE! I've owned it for a few months now and I've been able to grill as well as use the rotisserie. All came out perfect... well, as perfect as I can cook them. Even my professional chef son was impressed. The flame is even with very few flare-ups. The rotisserie is smooth and very easy to use. I'm sure that it will only get better as I use it more. A few minor things that I found would be helpful: . There is no place on the grill to easily store the rotisserie bar. There is ample shelf space underneath the grill to store the rotisserie mechanism and claw, them selves, but nothing for the bar. . My grill is freestanding, not installed into a counter. The storage is good and the sliding bottle shelf is great, very easy to use. I wish there was some screening to cover the many openings in the stand. Here in Texas, the grill stands makes a great area for bugs to inhabit (wasps, spiders, etc.) I plan to install screening over the openings in the coming months. . I have the stainless steel grates. The are perfect.. and HEAVY. SOLID stainless steel. The maker includes a great little tool to lift them, but keep in mind that they have weight to them. If I had to estimate, they are approximately 10 lbs each. Other than the above, I've enjoyed every minute of use. The grill is beautiful, functional, and great addition to my patio! Thanks!

I spent a week trying to decide between this grill and a Weber. This grill had more features for the money, so I went with it even though it may not be as heavy duty. It was delivered by a freight company and everything arrived on a wood pallet in good conditions--the box weights over 200 lbs. Assembly was a bit if a pain. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but the assembly guide is all pictures and no words. I was able to figure it all out, but it took over 3 hours. The stainless steel is pretty low grade, a magnet will stick to it pretty strongly, whereas "real" stainless won't hold magnet. First time using it, I put all 4 main burners on high to see how hot it can get and burn off all the factory chemicals. It only went up to 550 after 10 minutes. I was expecting it could get hotter, but I guess that's hot enough for most things. It lights easily with the electric ignition switch. The lighted control knobs are pretty unnecessary but look decorative if you want to impress your friends. The best feature is probably the heavy duty stainless steel cooking grates as they are REALLY heavy--like maybe 15 pounds each. They hold a lot of heat, so when you get them nice and hot before throwing a steak on there, it will make a nice set of grill marks, if that's your thing. The grilling area is ample and big enough to hold two racks of ribs in the center part with just the side burners on for indirect cooking. You could probably add a third rack of ribs on the warming tray above and just rotate them every half hour so they all cook evenly. The side burner seems kind of weak; I haven't used it for anything yet but even a light breeze will blow the flame around, so you may want to make a wind screen to shield the side from the wind. Overall, I'm happy with it; I think I will get several years of regular use out of it.

Bought it after we had gone through our 3rd BBQ in 7 years. All of them were "stainless steel" from big box stores. None of them lasted for long. I admit we do use our BBQ alot (4 to 5 times a week) but i didn't think that would be an issue. All of them rusted on the grates and 2 of the 3 rusted so bad at the grease trap that i had to put a cup under it to catch the drippings. My wife and i set this BBQ up in a few hours and it was very easy except for the side wings. they were a little finicky but nothing that would make me hate life. So far this BBQ makes more even heat across the entire cooking surface. I admit i ruined the first steaks i cooked on it because i cooked them like i did on my old BBQ and i greatly over cooked them. Totally my fault. I have roasted two chicken and a pork loin as well as steaks, pork chops, chicken breasts, shrimp and lobster tails. I've cooked in heavy rain and winds and this BBQ always maintains its heat which makes it, in my opinion, the best BBQ i have ever had. I have had BBQ's with side burners before but never used one so since this model had one i decided i would use it and i have been pleasantly surprised. It works very well and its nice to not have to run back and forth inside and out to check on what cooking on the stove.

Took me the best part of an afternoon to put it together. Instructions were fare at best. I am very mechanically inclined but slow process on it. After I got it together and seasoned it I fixed some hamburgers on it. They flared up more than I thought that they would, but didn't burn. Temperature control is great and everything works!

Got it in back in May, easy to assemble, all top quality components, works like a charm. Best bbq I've ever owned...

I have had several cheaper grills over the past 30 years. I decided to invest in a better quality grill. Based on what I have seen so far, The Broil King product I purchased will definitely fir the bill. The quality of my grill is far superior to anything I have previously owned. I grill at least twice a week all year around. I actually look forward to using my new Broil King grill!

There won' t be enough room in this review to tell you everything that we love about our Broil King Regal S490 Pro! Beats ALL competitor's products hands down! In short, everything we cook tastes better. Juicy and flavorful! We get the flavor of traditionally grilled food with a sear when we choose to have it. High unit quality and workmanship! Love the built in rotisserie. Buy this Grill! You will not be disappointed!

If I could give this grill more than 5 stars I would! Top quality parts and fasteners, excellent fabrication, shipping and packing were flawless. Great company.
