This is an excellent grill because of the evenness and adjustment of temperatures. The linear valves and double burners really make the heat even and consistent. I've been a Charcoal (weber) grill person for years and bought the Broil King (BK) after I read consumers report and their highest rated large grill made by Huntington, which I later found out is Onward Manufacturing. So then I looked at other models and choose the 590 model which has large grill, rotisserie more usable and standard features, drawers to put the gloves, outside trays for the condiments, hooks and front and sides for the tools. Note that the front I think requires using square/rectangular hooked tools of BK to match the indent/hook area on the grill. Their temperature gauge on front I think starts at 50 deg F, so you know it's working before you turn the grill on, as it shows the current temperature (as long as it's above 50), many others are pegged and you don't know they're working til you turn the grill on and wait and hope to see the needle move. This grill, made in North America (Canada), uses substantial materials (thicker). It weighs in nearly 250 lbs.
I bought this through AimToFind, whom I had not heard of before this purchase and they did an excellent job, the price was the lowest, Including shipping and was delivered off the truck, off the pallet and placed in our garage so I could assemble later. A few days later a rep from AimToFind called the house to see if the grill arrived safe and sound. They also sent an email and I responded to the email. While I had somewhat of a hard time to locate this grill on line, there were a few vendors that did stock and offer reasonable pricing. AimToFind is based in PA so shipping to east coast and midwest is pretty easy, fast and not many roads to travel. Some vendors were from CA and that's too far banging around on a truck for all those miles.
Note the BK 68492 Grill Cover fits great and it too is substantial, the description is PVC Polyester and I hear that and think of plastic, but this is the type of plastic that they make 'ballistic' back packs out of...I know not exactly, but it is heavy fabric and not 'plastic'. When I was on amazon searching for a cover, I had gotten some hits on a different cover with some bad reviews, I went to the manufacturer and found the model number for this heavy duty cover and then searched amazon and bought it. And it is heavy and hopefully will last for years on the concrete patio seeing afternoon sun everyday.

I replaced two Trager Pellet Grills to buy this Broil King. I produces heat like no other gas grill I've cooked on. I did add lava bricks on top of the flame spreaders because I was getting flare ups cooking chicken. I like the fact that it has five main burners and that I can tame them down and cook many items on the grill surface at one time. On the left side I can grill steaks and over on the right side I can grill veggies at a different flame setting. In the middle I can be grilling something else.The grill arrived by common freight carrier. There was a shipping problem and a later delivery than promised but Amazon was way over the top in helping me resolve the problem. The assembly manual could be written much better! It is typical of what you get these days but shouldn't be for a grill of this caliber. I had one screw strip out on a handle during assembly. I fixed it from my screw stock. The Broil King emblem on the cover as assembled by the factory is loose.
I like this grill but don't love it. For the cost I think it is cheaply made. The cover while heavy is still not as heavy as the higher end Weber and some others. Positives are the two drawers that I really like for storage of my cooking items.
Having it to do all over again I would not buy this grill. BUT I have to preface that statement because I have cooked the last 6 years on a pellet wood grill. I wouldn't buy a gas grill again and not just the Broil King. My problem was that I had been using the wrong pellet grill brand all these years. I had great tasting food but difficulty in maintaining the proper temperature. I discovered after buying the Broil King that I could have purchased a different brand of pellet grill that would sear steaks! That was the main complaint of my sweetie that she didn't get a seared steak. I'm sorry but nothing beats a pellet grill for flavor of food. If you haven't experienced food cooked on a pellet grill you don't know what you are missing. The first time I grilled chicken on the Broil King I realized that it just wasn't the same. Hence, I have my Broil King for sale at a loss!
