Guide Review - Kenmore Elite 750 5-Burner (Model #16661)
This model has been discontinued.If I were to go to all the expense of putting in an infrared rotisserie burner on a gas grill, especially one costing around $800USD, I would include the rotisserie kit (rod and forks). Unfortunately Sears (or Char-Broil) didn't include it with this grill so in addition to the full price of this grill (you can get it on sale for around $700 most of the time) you will have to pay another $35USD for the rotisserie kit (and another $30 for the propane tank). This is just one of the shortsighted thinking that goes into putting a big shiny gas grill on the floor or a Sears showroom (or the floors of a lot of stores these days).
This Kenmore Elite gas grill, built by Char-Broil in China has all the bells and whistles. You get a four burner grill with sear burner, rotisserie burner, and a large side burner unit that includes a griddle. It's actually hard to think of what else could be added to this grill. Unfortunately to put all these features on this grill come at the cost of quality materials. If you don't believe me grab hold of the lid on the side burner unit. Lift and twist. See how it bends? That's the solid quality of this $800USD gas grill.
This is one of many similar grills that you could do much better than. I suggest you look for a better grill.
