The Broil King Sovereign XLS 90 is an upgraded mid-size model in their Sovereign Series. The grill head is stainless steel with cast aluminum hood end caps. Four 12,500 BTU main burners, a 18,000 BTU stainless rear rotisserie tube burner and a 10,000 BTU side burner. It includes a rotisserie kit.
Construction
Cooking grates are 8mm stainless steel rods. Flav-R-Wave heat tents blanket the bottom of the deep firebox, mitigating flare ups, sizzling drippings and radiating searing heat. The cook box is deep, the hood is high. Many believe this design enhances roasting. Certainly the headroom in the hood is great for rotisserie and large items like roasts and turkeys.
Features of the Broil King Sovereign XLS 90
Substantial side shelves feature heavy cast aluminum condiment trays and built-in BBQ tool hooks. The cart has two doors. Regals may be ordered as LP or NG. LP models have a pull out propane tank drawer inside the cart.
Broil King Sovereign XLS 90 Dual Tube Burners
Broil King claims their patented Dual Tube Burners produce more even heat and increase burner life. Gas enters the burner first through a small, perforated tube within the large stainless steel burner tube. The design is intended to create even gas pressure throughout the burner, resulting in even flame and evenly distributed heat stress on the burner. After cooking extensively with dual tubes, we believe the heat is indeed even, but no more so than with similar quality grills. The Regal line also features LED lights on each control knob.
Their Linear Flow control knobs, however, are a step above the competition. With very little play in the valve stems, movement is smooth and solid throughout the 180° arc from low to high, making minute adjustments easy.
Warranty
Warranty on the dual tube burners is the same as Weber’s tube burners – ten years.
