Brinkmann Pro Series 4-Burner Gas Grill Model# 810-8533-S

Brinkmann Corporation

The Bottom Line

This basic unit offers you a full feature gas grill at a discount price (around $230USD). The four burner design gives you lots of versatility in your cooking. With the addition of a side burner and rotisserie burner (though you have to buy the rotisserie kit separately) you can do virtually anything. This grill is, however, limited in durability thanks to its reliance on low quality materials and lightweight construction. All stainless steel parts, including the tubular burners at 400 series stainless. The knobs and handles are plastic. There are certainly better grills out there.

Pros

  • Good heat output for the size
  • Full function gas grill for a low price (around $230USD)

Cons

  • Low quality materials, including burners
  • Lightweight construction
  • Limited support from the manufacturer

Guide Review - Brinkmann Pro Series 4-Burner Gas Grill Model# 810-8533-S

This model has been discontinued.

This is a simple and basic gas grill for a good price. At around $200USD this Home Depot exclusive Brinkmann gas grill is sure to be popular amongst those who don't do their research. The 4 stainless steel (400 series stainless) burners give you a lot of versatility in grilling both direct and indirect. The 500 square inches of primary grilling space provide ample cooking space and the 48,000 BTU output will give you plenty of heat. With the 12,000 BTU cast iron cap side burner, and 10,000 BTU rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner (the rotisserie spit and fork is sold separately) you get the ability to do virtual any cooking task.

Unfortunately this grill is built with low quality materials like the 430 stainless steel tubular burners and the plastic knobs and handles. The lightweight construction doesn't improved the quality either. There are many more better quality gas grills near this price range that you should look into before this grill. While this grill will work well out of the box, it simply won't last. If you are not looking for a grill that will give you more than 2 or 3 years then you might as well buy this one, otherwise, look elsewhere.
