By the truth
This was a Warehouse purchase on a shipping damage return (minor), and I would probably have bought a lower BK model (like the Sovereign 90) otherwise, but the Regal 490 is a deluxe grill. Everything is stainless clad except the caster base and the side table bodies (SS-clad plastic). It is not a super thick stainless but the grill weighs 190 pounds....Assembly was 2 hours and pretty straightforward though a couple of manual "inserts" were loose that should have been bound in....and it is drawings-only no text (would have had to be tri-lingual I guess). The 3/8" flex supply tube comes with a brass quick-connect but was only about 10 ft long so I had to extend the black pipe supply line away from the house under the deck. I like evrrything about the design except maybe the grids, which are a "really tight squeeze" around sheet matal screws for which there is a notch in the grip....they include a handled "grid lifter" which is absolutely useless for heavy cast grids like these. The grids are the reversible tapered-and-grooved style, and I'll have to experiment....the tapered grids leave great grill marksNow for the good part -- these burners put out an incredible amount of heat. 4 burners on high will top 700 degrees in under 15 minutes (not a good idea....for all 4 burners keep at med-high or lower once it is fired up)! To maintain 375 takes only 2 burners at medium-high after its hot. I've never had a propane grill that even approximately approaches this. Should be possible to dial down to lower temperatures. Searing steaks will be the style of choice. We did inch-thick pork loin chops and ahi steaks seared and the cooking took about 7 minutes both sides -- perfection.The rear burner is conventional not infrared, but that will be easier to maintain. The rotisserie kit is the lighter duty of the two BK sells, lets see how that works.Having natural gas is a treat (consistent gas pressure) plus the way this cooks, we'd be going through a lot of propane tanks. The double tube burner heats the box completely evenly . I'm really happy with the capability of this grill. MADE IN USA, or so it says...

By David J. Ball
With its cast iron grills, this unit turns out excellent steaks (with the restaurant style hatch type grill marks) and very very juicy hamburgers...probably the best I have ever cooked. One disadvantage of the grill is that it appears to be cheaply constructed. The materials are good, but the unit construction could use some tweaking. All in all, I am pleased with my purchase and expect to enjoy it excellent functionality for years to come.
