Top 3 Picks
Broil King Regal Propane Gas Grill
We’ve selected the Regal S520 as our favorite for Broil King Grills because you get all the features you want in a BBQ grill. It runs on propane, has control knob lights, a light inside the grill and storage. It makes it a worthwhile investment.
Broil King Portable Propane Gas Grill
This runner-up, the Porta-Chef 320 is worthy because it’s portable and big enough to cook for a small crowd anywhere. All you do is fold up its foldable legs and you can put it in the back of your car to take it to the next place that you need to go.
Broil King Charcoal Kamado Grill
We’ve saved the Kamado grill by Broil King for last. This charcoal grill is just large enough to feed a small crowd and it’s super easy to clean up. It’s also made of high-quality material because inside gets super-hot, making it perfect for steaks.
About Broil King
Broil King grills are of excellent quality. Since all of the products are manufactured in Canada and the United States, you can be assured that they are of good quality. Onward Manufacturing Corporation, which has been in business since 1906, owns them.

How to choose the right Broil King grill for you
There are so many options that you can choose from Broil King. But you may have different needs and that’s why we’ll dig into on how to choose the perfect grill for you.
The Burners
Most people probably don’t put a lot of thought into it, but the burners actually matter. The reason behind is that is because they provide even heat distribution and accurate temperature control. What’s good, that you’ll always get the heat you need on your food as there’s no way for the food to escape from the heat (unless of course the burners are turned off).
Heat Tents
This is another thing to consider when choosing your next Broil King BBQ grill. Even on a gas or propane grill, you can still get that authentic BBQ flavor that you are looking for. When the meat fat hits a very hot surface on the grill, it starts vaporizing right away. That’s where heat tents come in, it helps with the vaporization process. You’ll want to make sure the heat tents fill the entire grill inside so that you can get that flavor. It’s why Broil King has the Flav-R-Wave system on most of their grills.
Cooking Grids matter
Yes, the type of cooking grids matter. It determines how well it can distribute the heat and how well it can get your meats seared (especially for steaks). Cast iron grids provide the best results for high heat and beautiful sear marks that you are looking for. But stainless steel is just as good, but you don’t get the beautiful sear marks you are looking for on your meat/vegetables.
Size
Broil King has a variety of sizes of grills that you can choose from. You can choose from portable ones that can fit a few burgers or a massive one that can cook for a large crowd. It really depends on your budget and the kind of features you want with your grill.
Budget
Broil King is known to be the best bang for your buck. But if you don’t want to spend too much, consider a grill that doesn’t have a lot of features. But of course, if you want all the bells and whistles, expect to pay more. You can expect to pay $200-1k+ for Broil King grills.
Features
Like most grill brands out there, Broil King takes care of the coolest features out there. Everything from Flav-R-Wave, rotisserie system, to even having Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A lot of the pricier models also have extra side burners, ample storage space, control knob lights and more. You’ll probably be paying more for those types of grills, but the features are always cool to have.
