Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill Review

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:34:59 +0000

There is a lot of competition in the market when it comes to grills. You have different brands and models that all offer different features, but some just stands out more than others. Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill with Side Burner and Rotisserie with Side Burner and Rotisserie is the perfect choice for those who enjoys and loves to grill.

Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill Specifications:

Gas grill with 48,000-BTU burner, 10,000-BTU side burner, and 18,000-BTU rotisserie
725 square inches total cooking space; 3/8-inch-wide solid stainless-steel cooking grids
Adjustable burner valves; heat partitions; thermometer; Flav-R-Wave reduces flare-ups
Sure-Lite ignition system; cast-aluminum oven; drop-down side shelves; rotisserie kit included
Measures approximately 61-1/2 by 22 by 51 inches; limited lifetime warranty

I am an avid griller. If only I could prepare all of my meals using my grill I would. There’s just something about the meat having that charcoal taste that I love so much. That is why I was so disappointed after my grill gave out on me just after I bought 5 years ago.

I wanted to buy a replacement as soon as possible, but I wanted to make sure that the next grill I purchase will make me happy as well as last longer than my previous one. So I did a little bit of homework trying to find a grill that is perfect for me, then I found the Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill.

The Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill with Side Burner and Rotisserie just seemed so perfect for me. Since I usually have friends and relatives come over, the 450 square inch cooking area was just what I was looking for. But with the cooking area of this size, I was a little worried about the meat being cooked unevenly.

Then I was told about the 48,000-BTU stainless steel burner systems which consist of Dual-Tube burners that produce heat evenly. That means I can grill enough food to cover the entire cooking area, and not have to worry about some food items not getting cooked evenly.

Drippings are also vaporized with the use of the unique Flav-R-Wave system, infusing food with authentic barbecue flavor, and at the same time reduce flare-ups. The broil King Sovereign is also equipped with a premium rotisserie kit that can handle large roasts, chicken, and even turkey.

I actually had second thoughts before I purchased theBroil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill with Side Burner and Rotisserie. I couldn’t believe a grill like this would cost much less than the others that are almost similar. I just took my friend’s word for it since he own a Broil King as well and he said it still works great though he’s had it for years.

Now it has been more than a year since I bought my Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill with Side Burner and Rotisserie. And after a lot of grilling and barbecuing, the Broil King Sovereign has worked amazingly, even exceeding way past my expectations.

Broil King 987747 Sovereign 90 Natural-Gas Grill at a Glance:

Pros:

Easy to assemble
Easy to use
Even heating throughout the entire cooking area
Short grill time

Cons:

Grease catcher doesn’t work quite as well as expected, but it works
Has more plastic part than you would assume based on the picture

All in all, I am very satisfied with this griller. I would definitely recommend it to all the avid grillers out there.

Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker Review

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:48:58 +0000

When Brickmann said it is offering an all-in-one cooker, it wasn’t lying. This product has packaged itself as an LP gas grill, LP gas water smoker, charcoal grill, charcoal water smoker and a gas cooker/fryer with 170,000 BTU adjustable high/low burner. Let’s see if this, indeed, is the most versatile outdoor cooking system ever offered.

Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker: Product Features

Versatile cooker can fry, grill, or smoke with gas, or grill or smoke with charcoal
Dome lid fits every configuration; heat indicator; stay-cool wooden handles
2 chrome-plated steel grills will accommodate up to 50 pounds of food
Aluminized base pan; porcelain-enamel water pan; assembly required
Measures 17 by 17 by 45 inches; 1-year limited warranty

At A Glance

The overall aesthetic of the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker shows that its welded frame provides a stability that you want to see in a product like this. When you remove or rearrange the different components of this product, you will be able to fry, grill/smoke with gas or grill/smoke with charcoal.

Put To The Test

When you look at the manual, you’ll see easy-to-understand instructions that make the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 easy to use. Starting with the assembly of the product, the instructions are straightforward. You may need to experiment and look at how each function works to see which ones are to your liking. I personally think it’s a great smoker and fryer. The grill function is just OK though. When using the product as a smoker though, there is no door or latch that gives access to the water pan. When using the product as a fryer, I found out how challenging it is to remove the propane for safety reasons. The good points outweigh the not-so-good ones though.

Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker: Verdict

I would like to think that the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker would be something I’d be using for a long time. If you are an avid fan of the grill and the different functions it can provide then this product is for you.

The 566002 Q 220 Gas Grill is built with a durable tubular stainless steel burner with a very reliable 12,000 BTU input per hour. This grill is so easy to start with its electronically designed ignition switch. Once fire has started, it eventually heats up the cooking grate quickly and the grilling progresses.

The cast-iron cooking grate is porcelain-enameled which has been proven to be very effective in distributing heat evenly on the grilling surface. Many users and owners of the Q220 have confirmed that the grill cooks meats evenly without any burned part or raw sections. The meats come out as tender as expected and the taste of the gilled food is delicious without any “propane gas” aftertaste.

This Weber grill model is packed with features that will make grilling a fun and hassle-free experience every time. Some of its great features include a very reliable electronic ignition, a quality-made adjustable burner, a glass-reinforced nylon frame, a cat-aluminum lid and foldable work tables.

Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill Review

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:07:03 +0000

If you are an avid griller and is looking to purchase a new grill with lots of useful features, then the Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill just may be perfect for you. Why spend so much more for a grill that can get the same job done for you?

Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill Specifications:

550 sq. in. total cooking area (418 sq. in. primary cooking, 132 sq. in. warming rack area)
3 stainless steel burners rated at 36,000 BTU’s
12,000 BTU input flush-mounted side burner with stainless steel lid
1/4″ diameter stainless steel wire cooking grates
Porcelain-enamelled heat distribution plates
Electronic Ignition
Lid Thermometer

The Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grilll features an enclosed cart with doors made out of stainless-steel. Grills are also constructed with stainless steel lid insert, as well as stainless steel lid handle, lid thermometer; and cast aluminium end caps. Now these features make it sound like its built tough, and as much as I’ve been grilling with it, it still looks fairly new.

When I first took the grill out of the package, I was a little worried about assembling it. I thought the more uses and features the grill has, the more complicated it will be to assemble since there are more parts to worry about. The last grill I had before this, which was quite similar, actually took me more than 2 hours to put together. I was getting so frustrated I even thought about taking a shovel and beating the grill with it.

I probably would have done it if I didn’t pay so much money for it. It was useful for a long time, but since the day I assembled it still haunted me. This is why I thought I was going to go through the same thing, but surprisingly, only took a little over an hour. That might still sound like it took a while, but it was such a relief for me that I found a grill that didn’t give me a hard time for assembly.

I use my Ducane 30731201 Gas Grill at least 3 times a week, especially on the weekends. The 3 stainless steel burner’s works great and can easily cook just about anything I throw at it. The cooking area that measures 418 square inches that is just perfect, and the heat is very evenly distributed throughout the whole area. On top of that, the additional 132 square inches of warming rack is also very useful. There is no need to leave food on the grill just to keep it warm and end up getting burnt or over cooked.

The additional features of the Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 3-Burner Propane Gas Grilll also includes stainless steel stamped warming rack, porcelain-enamelled heat distribution plates, textured painted right hand side table, textured painted left hand side table with side burner, and a steel control panel.

Easy to assemble
Easy to use
Size of cooking area is just perfect
Additional features come handy

Cons:

None so far

If you are to consider the features, durability, and the price you will pay for the Ducane 30731201 Affinity 3200 , then this is definitely one of the best deals you can get.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill Review

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:45:05 +0000

Packaged as the premier charcoal water smoker grill from Brinkmann, this product is perfect for large gatherings because it can hold up to 50 pounds of food. Let’s see if this claim holds true after testing this grill out.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Product Features

2 chrome-plated steel cooking grills can hold up to 50 pounds of food
Front-hinged door; porcelain-coated steel water pan; aluminized-steel charcoal pan
Stay-cool wooden handles for safe transport; vinyl cover included
Measures 17 by 17 by 35 inches; 1-year limited warranty

At A Glance

The Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill with Vinyl Cover is surprisingly similar to another product that the brand offers, the Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill. There is a difference in the packaging of the unit but the basic features are pretty much the same. I guess there is no need to change those features that work for this particular grill type.

Put To The Test

Assembling the product is an easy task. As a slow-cook product, it might take you up to six hours to cook some food type. In my case, it’s chicken that is easy and a brisket that tried my patience. When the food came off the grill though, the meat is as it should be – delicious. Its best feature indeed is the smoker as it infuses the meat with the most amazing flavor. Cleaning the product is not too bad a task either.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Verdict

I believe that the Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill is sturdy enough to last a long time. It promises what it delivers and the pros outweigh the cons on this thing. If you want a nice, dependable smoker/grill that will continuously give the same delicious result, this product is for you.

Broil King 934657 Monarch 20 40,000-BTU Natural-Gas Grill Review

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:54:52 +0000

I’ve always loved the taste of home cooked barbecue, the problem was, and I never really had any experience with a grill, nor do I own one. I always used to have to wait until we had a gathering or a little get together with friends before I can have that taste in my mouth again. Finally, I decided to purchase myself my very own grill. I came across theBroil King 934657 Monarch 20 40,000-BTU Natural-Gas Grill, and thought it was just perfect for me.

Broil King 934657 Monarch 40,000-BTU Natural-Gas Grill Specifications:

Natural-gas grill with 40,000-BTU stainless-steel Super 8 infinity burner
520 square inches total cooking space; porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grids
Adjustable burner valves; thermometer; Flav-R-Wave system reduces flare-ups
Sure-Lite ignition system; Therma-Cast aluminum oven; drop-down side shelves
Measures approximately 54 by 21 by 49 inches; limited lifetime warranty

My friends and I gather every weekend for a little barbecue, just never at my place. They always tell me to purchase one, but I usually tell them I didn’t have any space to place it. I live in a townhouse that only allows electric or natural gas grills, and I was happy I was able to find the Broil King Natural-Gas Grill. Besides the fact that it is a natural gas grill, it was perfect for my grilling needs.

I got it at a really good price since these types of grills are usually expensive. The size was also just right since the deck only offered a limited amount of space. Now that I had the grill, I was a little worried about putting it together. Surprisingly, I found it quite simple and it didn’t even take me that long.

I was so excited; I had to tell my friends about the Broil King 934657 Monarch 20 Grill. They all decided to come over so we can test it out, since all of theirs ran on liquid propane gas, and was curious if my grill can cook like theirs. It was a good thing I read the manual which is so easy to understand and had the chance to play with it so I‘d have some idea on how to work it, before they got here.

Start-up was not a problem since it has a Sure-lite rotary ignition system which made it easier. You can also adjust to a precise temperature since it is equipped with Linear Flow Valves, and an Accu-temp thermometer made of stainless steel to ensure precise temperature reading.

Grilling with the Broil King Monarch wasn’t even as hard as I thought it would be, so when my friends got here, they were surprised to see I already had it started. When the burgers were finally cooked, they were amazed with the charcoal flavour of the meat. It really made it seem as if I’ve done this before. I was really happy with my Broil King Monarch but only wish that it could happier if it was built to be sturdier.

Broil King 934657 Monarch 20 40,000-BTU Natural-Gas Grill at a glance

Pros:

Easy to use
Size is perfect if you have limited space
Easy start-ups
Great price for a natural-gas grill

Cons:

Could have been better built to be more sturdy

So whether you are a beginner or even an avid griller, but are limited with space and even budget, the Broil King 934657 Monarch 20 40,000-BTU Natural-Gas Grill is the perfect choice.

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Review

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 08:17:33 +0000

If you are looking to buy a new grill that is compact and easy to use, then the Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is the best choice for you. Bigger is not always better, especially if you do not have enough space to accommodate the much larger types of grills.

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Specifications:

From Charbroil, liquid propane grill with 187 square inches cooking space for patios and small households
Constructed in rust-proof porcelain steel with Thermsulate lining and heavy-gauge porcelain-coated cooking grates; thermostatic handles
Equipped with a 10,000 BTU burner and push-button ignition; temperature gauge tracks grill heat
Adaptable to both 11-1/2- and 20-pound propane tanks
Grill measures 22 by 16-3/4 by 44 inches with a shipping weight of 52 pounds; limited lifetime warranties for grill body and parts

The Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is the best grill of its kind. If you thought it is impossible to enjoy the taste of a cookout meal, this is where you’re mistaken. This grill only takes up 28 inches of diameter in space, making it possible to fit even on just your patio. With that only comes 187 square inches of grilling area, which does not sound much, but is perfect for grilling meals during small gatherings. The nice thing about it is that you can place it anywhere since it is compact, and it also has wheels to help you move it around.

All it takes to use the Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is a single push on the ignition button and burner control. You can easily access the propane tank as well to turn on the gas. Amazingly, this small gas grill can put off quite an amount of heat that it enough to just barely sear a steak. You may have some difficulty telling if it is even lit, but that is not unusual for a grill this size.

The Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill’s freestanding body features porcelain-steel construction that makes it resistant to rust. Heavy-gauge porcelain cooking grids allows the gas grill to evenly distribute heat as well as cleaning it with ease.

It is also equipped with a grease catcher which collects drippings for easy disposal. Thermsulate lining, which is patented by Char-broil, ensures steady temperatures, that you can also monitor using the temperature gauge.

The downside of having a small and compact grill is that the grill space is also small. It is not advisable to use in a B-B-Q party as it may take a longer time to cook the food because of the limited space. But it’s perfect for everyday family grill.

So if you are not one of those avid barbecue grillers, but still enjoy the taste, then you do not necessarily have to purchase an expensive and large grill that may end up costing you a couple of hundred dollars. Barbecue grills of this category is getting more and more popular as many people realize that they probably won’t need all the extra grilling space. Besides, whoever said you have to sacrifice the simple things that you enjoy such as barbecue just to save some money.

Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill Review

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:46:55 +0000

This smoker and grill produced by Brinkmann uses charcoal which ensures the food cooked on this grill has that smoky flavor added to it. Let’s take a closer look at the Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill and see how well it performs.

Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill Features

Charcoal smoker and grill can accommodate up to 50 pounds of food
Front-hinged chrome door for adding charcoal or water during the smoking process
Porcelain-coated steel water and charcoal pans and instruction manual included
Measures 17 by 17 by 32 inches; 1-year limited warranty

At A Glance

Weighing in at 24 pounds, this product looks and feels solid when handled. On the lid, you will see a heat indicator attached that is used for checking the grill temperature and the handles are made of high-grade wood that stay cool to the touch. When you take a peek inside, there are two chrome-plated steel cooking grills.

Put To The Test

When I used the product, I noticed that it takes a while before the desired cooking temperature is reached. Although this is common for charcoal grills, it takes a longer time on this product unless I put in more than the required amount of charcoal. When the grill has started, I noticed how it smokes well. This is a good thing because the food came out well cooked without getting any burn marks.

Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Verdict

Charcoal grills are known to be one of the least expensive grill types. Get the Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill if you want to invest in a good slow-cook grill. Just make sure you prepare well in advance. Although it has been stated that up to 50 pounds of food can be accommodated, this doesn’t seem to be the case unless there is another rack put in.

I bought the Broil King 94974 Crown 70 Liquid-Propane Gas Grill a couple of weeks later, after my previous grill gave up on me after being with us for years. It took a while for me to purchase a new one since I didn’t really go through the hassle of having to decide which grill to purchase.

I finally gave in since we were going to have people over from out of town. I saw the Broil King 94974 thought it seemed okay since it did have a couple of features that sounded nice. I did have doubts though since it almost sounded too good to be true with its price, plus I did have a couple of friends who had the same brand and didn’t hear any complains about it.

Another thing I was also worried about was the degree of difficulty of trying to put it together. Surprisingly, it only took about 20 minutes or so, and then I really got excited to start grilling. The grill came together with such ease. There was no need for bending, forcing, or immediate modifications to get the parts to fit. I was starting to change my whole perspective about the grill, but I did not want to get my hopes up until I see the final product.

When I got the grill to start working, I thought I still had a long wait to go before I can actually start. It came to my surprise it took less than 10 minutes and it was all set to get started. The first burgers I cooked on the Broil King 94974 Gas Grill were some of the best ones I’ve ever done. The flavor wave cooking system added that charcoal flavour to the meat.

The grill marks on the burgers were great, and it cooked evenly. I was really impressed! The only thing that gave me a hard time, which wasn’t even that difficult, was the cleanup after use. Bui I guess we can always expect that from any grill. Let’s not forget the parking brakes on the front wheels, it was a nice touch.

Broil King 94974 Crown 70 Liquid-Propane Gas Grill at a glance

Pros:

Easy to assemble
Easy to use
Great rotisserie feature
High quality
Short grill time

Cons:

Some difficulty in cleaning up, but not too much
