Broil King Baron 490 Gas Grill

Yes, the Baron 490 IR is designed specifically for natural gas. You will need a professionally installed, dedicated natural gas line at your outdoor kitchen site to operate the grill.

The infrared side burner uses high-intensity heat to reach much higher temperatures than the main burners. It is specifically engineered for searing steaks or chops to create a professional-grade crust while keeping the interior juicy.

Cast aluminum is highly resistant to rust and provides excellent heat retention. This material helps the grill maintain consistent internal temperatures, even in cooler weather, and ensures the cookbox will not corrode over time.

Yes, the grill includes a dedicated rotisserie burner and the necessary hardware. This allows you to slow-roast whole chickens or roasts with even heat distribution for consistent results.

The Flav-R-Wave system sits above the burners to catch drippings, which vaporize to infuse your food with a smoky flavor. It also helps distribute heat evenly across the entire cooking surface to eliminate cold spots.

The 8mm stainless steel rods are durable and retain heat well. While they are sturdy, they should be brushed clean while warm after each use to prevent food buildup and maintain their longevity.
