Broil King Grills & Smokers

The Broil King Regal S590 Pro is a North American-made 5-burner stainless gas grill with massive 9mm solid rod grates, dual-tube burners, a side burner, and a rear rotisserie burner with kit. It's the long-time owners' alternative to a Weber Genesis.

Broil King's built-in answer, and the only black built-in head in this group — the Shadow finish is matte black rather than the universal brushed stainless, which matters if your island is dark stone. Five Dual-Tube burners make 45,000 BTU across 569 square inches of primary space, with a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and, unusually at this price, the premium rotisserie kit included rather than sold separately. Price is for the 32-inch BUILT-IN HEAD. The Flav-R-Wave system vaporizes drippings on 304 stainless rather than using ceramic briquettes or sheet-metal tamers.

The most genuinely unusual gas grill in this group: it has two completely separate cookboxes with their own lids — a 500 square inch main box and a 250 square inch second box — so you can run a low indirect roast in one and a hard sear in the other without them fighting each other. Six Dual-Tube burners make 60,000 BTU, the infrared side burner reaches 1,700°F, and a 15,000 BTU rear burner ships with a rotisserie kit and auto-reversing motor. At 270 lbs it is a serious piece of equipment, and the cookbox carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Not a grill head but a complete, finished outdoor kitchen — the $7,999 price covers the five-burner Imperial grill, 304 stainless cabinetry with four storage drawers, a side-burner cabinet with tank storage, a door/drawer cabinet and a granite countertop, delivered as one unit. That is the whole point: buying a Blaze or Bull head at $2,000-$4,000 still leaves you to build and pay for the island around it, and this removes that project entirely. The grill itself is five Dual-Tube burners at 55,000 BTU over 625 square inches, with a 13,000 BTU side burner, a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and rotisserie kit, and professional cast stainless grids.
