Guide Review - Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
This grill has been discontinued. It is replaced by the Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill.For around $400 you can buy a completely stainless steel gas grill. This Thermos labeled gas grill is made by Char-Broil and sold through Target Stores to catch attention with its shiny surface. Unfortunately, once you look a little deeper you see that the overall quality of construction and materials is poor. This unit is made from 430 stainless steel and will require a lot of care to retain its appearance. The cast iron burners put out a sufficient heat for the 408 square inches of primary cooking space, but they will be prone to rusting if they are not protected.
This thermos grill does come with a 12,000 BTU side burner, but as is typically of this level of gas grill the side burner is light weight and may not perform well after a year or so. You get a fully enclosed cabinet and a hood mounted thermometer but this is a grill built for appearance and not for grilling, style without substance. I have to recommend staying away from this grill.
