Barbecues & Grilling: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week Broil King Regal 490 Pro 11 Jul 2011, 11:02 am The Bottom Line The Broil King Regal 490 Pro is basically the same as the Imperial 490, except this gas grill has porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates instead of stainless steel rod, and the side burner is capped with brass instead of stainless steel. This is a 4-burner gas grill with side and rotisserie (not infrared) burners with a fully enclosed cabinet and plenty of grilling space that will run you around $900. The main burners are Broil King's dual tube which means even heating and the heat output is high so you get a powerful grill that does a great job. Pros Dual tube burners for even heating front to back Linear control valves for a wide range of temperature control Quality construction Heavy porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates Cons Under powered side burner Description Four 12,250 BTU dual tube 304 stainless steel burners 500 square inches primary cooking area with a total of 695 square inches 50,000 BTU maximum output from the main burners 10,000 BTU brass capped side burner under a flush mounted cover 15,000 BTU rear mounted stainless steel (not infrared) rotisserie burner with full rotisserie kit Stainless steel and painted steel construction with cast aluminum end caps with double layer hood Porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates Electric (AA-battery) ignition Propane tank and cover sold separately Made in Canada by Onward Manufacturing Company Guide Review - Broil King Regal 490 Pro Gas Grill Recently Broil King redesigned the Regal series grills to make them more attractive and give them a more modern feel. The 490 Pro is the top of the Regal line and comes clad in stainless steel. Other Regals are painted steel and if stainless isn't a big deal for you, you might want to look at the other Regal models to save some money (the Regal 490, not Pro, is about $100USD less). The two features that stand out on this grill is the dual tube stainless steel burners and the linear flow control valves. The dual tube burners equalize the gas pressure inside the burner so that the heat is even front to back. Standard tubular burners tend to have higher pressure in the front of the burner and can give you uneven heating. The Broil King burners correct this problem. The control valves on this grill have an even, highly precise flow that give you a very high level of heat control. Add in the four burner design and this grill will let you pick an exact temperature from the very high to the very low. This grill features a full rotisserie system that includes a standard (not infrared) rear mounted burner. This burner works as well as most any infrared rotisserie burner but has the durability of a high quality stainless steel burner. There is also a brass capped side burner on the left side table under a flush mounted cover. This burner is a little low on the BTUs so it won't quickly heat up a large pot but it is powerful enough to heat a small skillet or saucepan. This grill has great construction and should last for many years. Broil King is known for making superior grills and this one is a good value at around $900USD.
