Guide Review - Viking 53 Inch Gas Grill

This really is the grill. Imagine 150,000 BTUs of total power. Imagine a rotisserie that can hold a whole lot of food, but doesn't need balancing because of the overpowered motor and ball-bearing rod holders. You get a real professional grill with this unit that has extremely controllable and even heating from it four main burners. You can also get optional infrared burners.

The total stainless steel construction provides both and excellent finish (available in colors) but a high degree of insulation and heat retention. All stainless steel and porcelain cooking grates have a lifetime warranty.

The rotisserie kit includes a 15,000 BTU rear mounted infrared burner and a 1/2 inch rotisserie rod strong enough to hold almost anything you can fit across the 53 inch wide cooking area.

Options and configurations can carry the price of this grill well above $9000.
