Guide Review - Vermont Castings 5-Burner VCS522SSP
The Vermont Castings 5-Burner Gas Grill is the midsized unit of the grill line. You get a 4-burner gas grill with a full rotisserie system including 20,000 BTU infrared rear mounted rotisserie burner and a 15,000 BTU side burner under a flush mounted cover. There is an optional 15,000 BTU infrared searing side burner that can be swapped out with the standard side burner.
The construction of this gas grill is heavy (and I mean heavy) porcelain coated cast iron and 304 stainless steel. The construction is good quality and the materials are very good considering the price range (look to spend around $2,200USD for this gas grill). Look for this grill to last many years and provide very good grilling. If you are looking for a large grill and want something more durable that the mass market products out there, this is one grill to consider.
