74 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain together describe a grill built to hold heat well and last outdoors. Cast iron grates retain heat better than stainless grates alone, which produces better sear marks and more even cooking across the grate surface. The porcelain elements, typically used on the firebox or cook box, add corrosion resistance.
Three burners and 365 sq in is a moderate cooking footprint, suitable for four to six people. The graphite grey color finish and 99 lb weight point to a solid, substantial chassis. At 25 x 48.75 x 45.5 in, it fits most standard patio layouts without dominating the space.
With 74 reviews at 4.1 stars, the review base is smaller and the rating sits just above average. Buyers who value material quality over cooking area or low price will find the construction specs compelling, but the modest review count means long-term performance data is thinner than grills with several hundred reviews.

Performance notes
Propane fuel across three burners with stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain materials is the standout spec combination here. Cast iron grates are the most heat-retentive grate material available on production grills, delivering deep sear marks and steady radiant heat. BTU is not published. Cooking area of 365 sq in is mid-size. At 99 lb and 25 x 48.75 x 45.5 in, it is a sturdy, ground-stable grill. Freestanding installation means no built-in setup required.
What buyers say
A 4.1-star rating from 74 reviews places this grill in the acceptable range, though the review count is modest. Buyers appear satisfied overall. The smaller pool means less certainty than grills with 300-plus reviews, so the rating reflects early buyers rather than a broad long-term sample.

Frequently asked questions
Why does cast iron matter on a grill?
Cast iron holds heat more consistently than stainless steel grates. Once heated, cast iron stays hot even when cold food hits the grate, which helps produce a proper sear rather than steaming the surface. It also creates more pronounced grill marks. The tradeoff is that cast iron needs to be kept dry and occasionally seasoned to prevent rust.
Is $727 a fair price for this grill?
That depends on what you value. The combination of cast iron grates, stainless steel body, and porcelain components does justify a higher price than painted steel grills with similar burner counts. Compared to other three-burner grills in the $300 to $500 range, you are paying a premium for construction materials rather than extra cooking area.
How do you maintain cast iron grill grates?
After each cook, brush the grates clean while still warm. Once the grill cools, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the grate surface to prevent rust. Avoid leaving cast iron grates wet or exposed to rain without a grill cover. Periodic re-seasoning, like a cast iron skillet, extends the life significantly.
