While recently strolling Home Depot’s aisles, the $199 price of this four-burner caught our attention. It’s stripped down and lightweight to be sure, but big for the bucks. It weighs only 76.5 pounds while measuring 24″D x 49″W x 46″H. The open-air cart is porcelain coated steel with left and right side shelves, a couple of tool hooks, and two large plastic wheels. A stainless steel lid covers thin, porcelain-coated cooking grates. The four, 10,000 BTU stainless steel burners aren’t superpowered but may be adequate for the 421 square inch primary cook surface, resulting in a heat flux rating of 95.01 (Heat Flux is the BTU per square inch and is a more useful measure of how much heat a grill delivers than BTU alone). A single, battery-powered ignitor fires up all four burners. Porcelain-coated steel heat tents help sizzle drippings and even out heat. A large, funnel-shaped drip plate slides in from the back, under the burners, and channels grease into a small, slide-out grease cup.

Unless you need portability, we advise going big, with a minimum of three burners so you can easily create 2 zone setups with one hot zone and one moderate zone. This four-burner gasser gives you ample cooking capacity whether roasting a chicken over a moderate 2-zone setup or sizzling a bunch of burgers with all burners cranked high.

The limited warranty of 5 years for the burners and 1 year for everything else is weak. Obviously, you get what you pay for. This won’t have the performance or durability of a more expensive grill, however, at the end of the day everyone has a budget, and if $200 is your pain threshold this could be for you.
