Broil King
Broil King Regal S590 Pro
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 r/grilling insiders' alternative to a Weber Genesis.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The solid 9mm stainless rod grates are the thickest in the class and hold enough heat to lay down steakhouse grill marks that thin Weber grates can't
- ✓Broil King's dual-tube burners produce a wider, more even flame pattern with fewer hot spots than standard tubes
- ✓55,000 BTU across five burners plus 625 sq in primary space out-guns similarly priced 3-burner Genesis models
- ✓The 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and included rotisserie kit make spit-roasted chicken a stock feature, not an upsell
- ✓The cast-aluminum cookbox carries a lifetime warranty and holds heat like an oven for excellent indirect roasting
- ✓It's made in Dickson, TN and Huntington, IN factories, and r/grilling regulars consistently cite Broil King build quality as the reason to skip Weber
- ✓The Flav-R-Wave stainless system vaporizes drippings for flavor and controls flare-ups effectively
- ✓Enclosed cabinet, illuminated knobs, and stainless side shelves give flagship features at an upper-midrange price
Cons
- ✗Brand recognition trails Weber badly in the US, so resale value and neighborhood familiarity are lower
- ✗The heavy 9mm grates take longer to preheat and need consistent oiling to avoid rust spots despite being stainless
- ✗No smart features - no probes, WiFi, or app at a price point where competitors are adding them
- ✗The side burner is a standard tube burner on the base Pro; the infrared version costs about $150 more
- ✗At 220 lbs with a wide stance, assembly and placement are two-person jobs
- ✗Warranty is tiered - lifetime on the cookbox but shorter coverage on burners (10 years) and other parts
- ✗Dealer and parts availability is thinner than Weber's, though big-box stores now stock the brand
- ✗The lid thermometer reads dome temp, not grate temp, so precise cooks still need a separate probe
