Brinkmann 4-Burner Gas Grill Model #810-9410-S

Brinkmann 4-Burner Gas Grill Model #810-9410-S

Brinkmann Corp.

The Bottom Line

This basic unit offers you a full feature gas grill at a discount price (around $170USD). The four burner design gives you lots of versatility in your cooking. With the addition of a side burner you can do virtually anything but rotisserie. This grill is, however, limited in durability thanks to is 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. Aside from this, the grill is a basic unit with little else which is actually an advantage, less to go wrong.

Pros

  • Low priced 4-burner grill (around $170)

Cons

  • Low quality materials, including burners
  • Lightweight construction
  • Limited support from the manufacturer
  • Very thin and light cooking grates

Guide Review - Brinkmann 4-Burner Gas Grill Model #810-9410-S

This model has been discontinued.

This is a simple and basic gas grill for a good price. At around $170USD 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 446 square inches of primary grilling space provide plenty cooking space but the 40,000 BTU output is a little low for the size. With the 12,000 BTU side burner you get the ability to do virtual any cooking task. This unit only lacks a full rotisserie system (though can get a spit and fork rotisserie rod for it).

This grill is a basic, lightweight (around 62 pounds) grill. This is actually an advantage. Without lots of gimmicks that can go bad this is just a simple grill. I would rather it was a smaller 3-burner system with the money put into better quality parts but these days bigger is popular sales gimmick.

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 but at this price it isn't that bad of a choice as long as you don't expect it to last more than a few years.

DON'T BUY THIS! Lousy Design, Flimsy, Member bobo52

The stamped steel ""grates"" are useless for barbecuing even if they don't warp. And, what's with this no-lava rock or no briquette system? You can't properly grill a steak on this thing. The similar but much better-same price-grill at Lowes is the way to go. I could kick myself - I'm stuck with this piece of garbage. Oh, and they assembled it backwards so that the propane tank is on the side you lift to move it - and the flimsy construction added to that means you gotta leave it where you put it. Total junk. Get the one at Lowes.
