Guide Review - Broil-Mate Reddi-Bilt 15516 (Model #155164)

Not the most modern looking of grills but with the high heat capability of this grill and the wide range of heat control that the linear flow valves give you this grill is great at grilling. The stainless steel vaporization barriers are built to last and the durable construction and high quality stainless steel dual burner will make this grill last a long time. The cooking grates are heavy and solid and do a good job of transferring heat to foods. At 50,000 BTUs this grill has a lot of power for it's 400 square inches of primary cooking area.

This grill has the same grilling characteristics of the more expensive Broil-King grills but with out all the accessories. If you are looking for a basic grill with lots of space that will last and provide great grilling then you really should look at this model. The warranty on this grill is also great and Broil Mate (a division of Onward Manufacturing) has a great reputation for service. Made in Canada this grill is typically available through specialty retailers.

Cast aluminum body is durable and should hold it's appearance for many years if you keep it clean and keep it covered. Standard cart configuration with two side tables. What this grill delivers is great grilling abilities at a very reasonable price (around $200USD to start).
