The Broil King Imperial 490 Pro Infrared Grill is built for those who love to cook outside. With powerful burners, strong materials, and smart features, this grill makes cooking easy and fun. Whether you're grilling juicy steaks, slow-roasting chicken, or making side dishes, this grill does it all.

The main burners produce 44,000 BTUs of heat, spreading warmth evenly across the grill. These stainless steel Dual-Tube™ burners have two rows of flames, ensuring no cold spots. This means every bite of food is cooked just right, from edge to edge.

The Flav-R-Wave™ cooking system enhances flavor by catching drippings and turning them into smoke. This keeps your food moist and tasty while protecting the burners from grease buildup. With the professional cast stainless steel cooking grids, you get excellent heat retention and those perfect sear marks on your food. These grids are thick, long-lasting, and prevent food from sticking.

The grill includes a 10,000 BTU side burner, perfect for cooking sauces, soups, or searing meats at high heat. Instead of running back inside, you can prepare everything in one place. The 15,000 BTU rotisserie burner and included premium rotisserie kit let you slow-roast chicken, pork, and other meats. The rear burner provides even heat, ensuring juicy, flavorful results.

The Linear-Flow™ valves with 180° Sensi-Touch™ control knobs allow you to adjust the heat with precision. Whether you need high heat for searing or low heat for slow cooking, these controls give you total command over your grill.

The grill is made from rust-resistant zinc-coated steel, so it lasts for years. The roll-action lid has cast aluminum end caps that keep heat inside while making it easy to open. The built-in cookbox and control knob lights help you see what you're doing when grilling at night.

Cleaning up is simple with the slide-out grease tray system. Just pull out the tray, dispose of the grease, and you're done. No messy scrubbing needed.

Choose between a propane (LP) model that uses a standard 20lb tank (not included) or a natural gas (NG) model with a 10ft hose for direct connection. No matter which option you choose, this grill is ready to handle all your outdoor cooking needs.
