Kenmore 4-Burner BBQ Gas Grill with Searing Side Burner, Propane Grill, 52,000 BTUs, Warming Rack, Electronic Ignition & Cast Iron Cooking Grates, Black/Stainless Steel

I caught this grill on sale for $279 pre Black Friday. Very nice 4 burner grill with searing burner for 40% of a Weber. Well made and designed powdercoated grill. Assembly instructions were good with pictures and words for each step. Holes for screws matched perfectly with pre installed threaded inserts or cut threads. Well packaged. They did "hide" the frame support rods inside the burner assembly which took 30 min to find. The propane line to the burner has a shielded steel flexible conduit that is too long and made it difficult to align the control knob assembly to screw onto frame. I did get it aligned but this was the last and mist difficult part of assembly. Grill has even heat, gets to 450 in a few min, searing burner works great. I do find that it takes 10 to 20 sec for propane to flow to burners for ignition. The Kenmore brand was bought by a company in business for 20 years and parts are available at the old Seats parts store. Time will tell how well the powerboat holds up as well as the porcelain grill racks. Very very happy so far. I did over char my first salmon filets due to the higher even heat - my fault. Great steaks and the 1 inch thick pork chops cooked perfectly. I did feel sorry for my mail carrier dealing with the 88lb box.

This is a really outstanding grill, at a lower price point, it compares strongly to the weber grill of similar size and structure. The searing burner is awesome. I have prepared both vegan/vegetarian dinners on this, as well as more typical American barbecue on this, and the outcomes have been Super desirable. I do recommend that you plan on having not three, not four, but a good six or more hours, available and reserved to put it together solidly.

This grill caught on fire behind the ignition under the searing burner it melted the ignition and the fascia. I reached out to the company and the told me to unhook the propane when it was not in use to avoid this in the future. However I was using the grill to make dinner for my family. I was using the grill and not the searing burner where the fire started.The company sent me a list of materials and the cost to replace them. They said the fire wasn’t a defect so it’s not covered under warranty. Again. I didn’t know fires should start behind the ignition on a part of the grill that wasn’t being used.Prior to the fire if I put the knobs too low for the grill the flames would blow out with the slightest gust of wind.I’d recommend this grill for firefighters that want to hone in on their skills at home. Just don’t stand too close to it and keep a close eye on it. Keep a bucket of water and hose close by!

It is a pretty standard grille device with 4 main burners and 1 side searing burner. Black/copper version looks great and works normally. The regular price of $500 is too much for this, but periodically the price does drop to $400, I'd recommend waiting and buying then. It is not too difficult to assemble, provided one understands that tolerances are not exactly precision-class, and you may need to push/pull some parts and apply some force here and there. Lots of sharp edges in the parts - be careful and use gloves if necessary. Once put together, it is fine. The caster wheels are illogically designed - only three rotate and of these three only two are lockable - and those are the rear ones - the fourth one is fixed. That's about it.

Disclaimer, we bought this grill for UNDER $300 when it was on sale so my review is based on that price point. Plan to spend some time putting this together. My (ultra handsome and ultra handy) husband spent probably 2.5 hours total assembling everything. Once assembled, I seasoned this baby inside and out with an olive oil spray, then let it roast empty with all burners on HIGH HEAT for about 30 minutes. So far I've made steaks, chicken and burgers and have been really impressed with the ease of using this grill. Based on the "quality" of the $600 ones we were looking at in Lowes and Home Depot, I am THRILLED with this purchase. Planning to keep it covered and pay it lasts us a few seasons!

I bought this grill for my husband as our old one was on its last leg. It’s a beautiful grill! It cooks evenly and after 2 months of consistent grilling hasn’t had any maintenance issues like the ignitor going out. Installation was fine. Be sure to read the instructions carefully. The pictures and verbiage aren’t always Crystal clear.

It’s been 5 or so months and I still loveThis bbq. Really great control and the ability to get 600+ degrees quickly. And, keeping it covered with an occasional wipe down keeps it looking like new.

I've only had this grill for about a month, but so far I love it. Instead of a side burner, it has a searing burner. I cook via sous vide a lot and the searing burner is perfect! The grill gets hot and distributes the heat evenly. Very pleased with this purchase!
