Brinkmann 5 Burner Gas Grill
Brinkmann 5 Burner Gas Grill
On October 8, 2015, Brinkmann filed for Chapter 11 under the US bankruptcy code.
Brinkmann’s 5-Burner with Side Burner is mighty big for the bucks. They make a 4-Burner that sells for the same price so take your pick. Cut rate construction all around from the thin metal body to the plastic control knobs, but for $200 you’ll get little more than what you paid for.
Five tube burners with 10,000 BTU each, a 12,500 BTU side burner and porcelain coated cast iron grates. Although the 502 square inch primary cook surface is large, it’s not gigantic for the 5 burners, which accounts for the respectable Heat Flux Rating of 100, (BTU per square inch), providing an extra kick for high temp searing.
Many owners like this grill or at least feel it's worth the super low price. A few 
have buyer's remorse, although one wonders what their expectations could have been for this size in this price range. If you want a big gasser on a tight budget, you could sure do worse.
The two wheel cart is not enclosed, but does include tool hooks, a built-in bottle opener and a pull out condiment rack. Get a cover to extend the life of this low cost device. Brinkmann makes some nice ones.
