Broil King Baron 440 vs Char-Broil 463242716

While most grills use single tubes with a single row of flame ports, the Baron 440 uses a dual-tube setup with dual flames. The dual tube design creates more even gas pressure throughout the tube’s length for more even heat distribution.

The four burners, altogether, generate up to 40,000 BTUs of heat, which is more than enough for nearly all grilling needs.

Its cast iron grates lock in heat to help produce excellent grilled meat and add nice-looking grill marks.

Broil King offers ten years of warranty for the stainless steel burners and two years for the rest of the parts. The burners are the most important part of the grill, so the extended warranty gives extra peace of mind.

The included drip pan can collect juices so that later you can make a sauce out of them. Additionally, it minimizes the risk of grease fires.

The tire locks and levelers allow the grill to maintain a leveled surface, even when it's being used on rough or uneven places.

The linear control valves of the grill allow for very high levels of heat control. You can precisely set the heating to the desired values.

The grill has a button operated ignition system, so you don’t need to light the burners manually and risk burning your hands.

The patented Flav-R-Wave heat tent protects the burners from fat drippings that may cause unexpected flare-ups. Instead, it vaporizes the drippings and infuses them back into the meat to enhance the barbecue flavor.

The flame comes out of the sides of the tube burners rather than above it. This provides double the amount of flame and distributes heat more evenly

You can buy an optional rotisserie for roasting chicken or other large pieces of meat. It can hold up to 15 lbs of food, the equivalent of about three medium-sized whole chickens.

The grills dimensions allow it to be stored in cramped areas. The right side of the grill can be folded down to make it even more compact.

The hood is large enough to roast a whole chicken with the optional rotisserie, while still being able to use the main grilling area.

The side burner is located on the left side of the grill and is useful for making side-dishes and sauces.

Instead of heating food directly by convection, the burners heat up a perforated sheet of stainless steel that generates infrared heat. Infrared heat is very intense, so it can cook food fast while still leaving it juicy, which is especially noticeable while cooking steaks.

This unit comes with a side cooker that can output up to 13,000 BTUs of heat, which can be used to cook side dishes at the same time the main grill is being used. It can also be used as a griddle.

While this grill isn’t much larger than other infrared grills, it offers a very generous cooking space. Its 525 square inches of cooking area allow you to cook as many as 32 burgers at once.

This unit is sold as a propane grill, but it can be converted for natural gas use.

The emitter vaporizes drippings from the meat instead of burning them, which makes the grill easy to clean.
