Broil King Baron 420i Pro Shadow – Outdoor Kitchen Island with Infrared Side Burner
Four Dual-Tube burners, a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner, an included cast iron griddle, and a built-in waste cabinet — the outdoor kitchen island that's designed to work as hard as it looks.
Most outdoor kitchen islands give you a grill head in a cabinet and call it done. The Baron 420i Pro Shadow builds the things you'd otherwise add later directly into the layout. A pull-out waste cabinet with separate trash and recycling bins keeps the prep area cleaner during a long cook. A pull-out LP tank drawer puts the fuel where it belongs. Soft-close galvanized steel drawers and a stainless steel countertop give the whole setup a more refined, furniture-grade feel. And when it's time to actually cook, four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners deliver 40,000 BTU across 570 sq. in. of primary cooking space — backed by a 304 stainless steel Flav-R-Wave cooking system and 8mm rod grids — while the 10,000 BTU infrared side burner and included premium cast iron griddle add genuine flexibility for searing, sides, and breakfast cooks you can't pull off on grates alone. The Shadow finish pulls it all together with a look that earns its place in a refined outdoor kitchen.

Deep Dive — Baron 420i Pro Shadow›
Practical island layout with built-in storage and cleanup convenience
This island is designed for buyers who want their outdoor kitchen to work harder. Soft-close cabinet drawers, a pull-out liquid propane tank drawer, and a pull-out waste cabinet with trash and recycling bins make the setup feel more thoughtful and more useful during real cooking and entertaining. Instead of adding storage and cleanup solutions later, this island gives you a more complete working layout from the start.
Infrared side burner and cast iron griddle expand cooking flexibility
The Baron 420i Pro Shadow is more than a standard four-burner island grill. Along with 40,000 BTUs of main burner output, it includes a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner and a premium cast iron griddle, giving you more ways to handle searing, sides, breakfast cooking, and finishing work outdoors. That makes it a strong fit for buyers who want more flexibility without stepping into a much larger island footprint.
Shadow styling with durable materials and everyday grilling performance
The Shadow finish gives this island a more modern look than a standard stainless-only setup, while the stainless steel countertop, stainless steel Flav-R-Wave cooking system, and durable cast aluminum cookbox keep the performance side strong. Illuminated control knobs and a slide-out grease tray also make the island easier to use and maintain.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The Baron 420i Pro Shadow is the right pick for the homeowner who wants an outdoor kitchen island that's genuinely thought through — not just a grill dropped into a cabinet. The waste cabinet with separate trash and recycling bins sounds like a detail, but it changes how the space actually works during a cookout. Add the soft-close drawers, stainless steel countertop, and pull-out tank drawer, and this island has a level of everyday practicality that most grill islands at this footprint don't offer.
The infrared side burner is a real differentiator if you cook at high heat — it runs hotter and more consistently than a standard burner, and it pairs well with the included cast iron griddle for smash burgers, eggs, or anything that needs even contact heat at temperature. If you'd never use those features, a simpler four-burner island would serve you just as well. But if you would, this is the island that has them built in rather than bolted on later.
One thing to confirm: the source does not specify available fuel options. Confirm whether this model is available in liquid propane, natural gas, or both before ordering.
- Homeowners who want a practical, organized outdoor kitchen island with built-in waste management and storage
- Buyers who want an infrared side burner and cast iron griddle included without a separate purchase
- Anyone who wants a modern Shadow finish rather than a traditional full-stainless look
- Cooks who want everyday cooking flexibility — searing, griddle work, and sides — in a single mid-size footprint
- Outdoor kitchen shoppers who appreciate refined storage details like soft-close drawers and a pull-out LP tank drawer

Frequently Asked Questions›
Does the Broil King Baron 420i Pro Shadow run on propane or natural gas?›
The Baron 420i Pro Shadow is offered in both liquid propane and natural gas configurations. Select the correct fuel version when ordering.
What is the total BTU output of the Baron 420i Pro Shadow?›
The main burners produce 40,000 BTU total across four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners. The infrared side burner adds another 10,000 BTU, for a combined output of 50,000 BTU across all cooking zones.
What is the total cooking surface area?›
The primary cooking space is 570 sq. in. With the stainless steel warming rack included, total cooking space reaches 900 sq. in.
What is an infrared side burner and how does it differ from a standard side burner?›
An infrared burner heats through radiant energy rather than convection, which means it reaches higher temperatures faster and maintains that heat more consistently across the cooking surface. For searing, finishing sauces at high heat, or cooking with the cast iron griddle, it outperforms a standard gas side burner. The Baron 420i Pro Shadow's 10,000 BTU infrared side burner is integrated into the island layout — not an add-on.
Is the cast iron griddle included, or is it sold separately?›
The premium cast iron griddle is included with the Baron 420i Pro Shadow. You can use it right out of the box without any additional purchase.
What is the pull-out waste cabinet, and what does it include?›
The pull-out waste cabinet includes dedicated compartments for both trash and recycling bins, built directly into the island's cabinet system. It pulls out for access during cooking and pushes back in to keep the outdoor kitchen area clean and organized.
Does the LP tank drawer mean a tank is included?›
No. The pull-out LP tank drawer is a dedicated storage compartment built into the island cabinet for housing a standard propane tank — the tank itself is not included.
Does the island come with a countertop, or is it sold separately?›
The stainless steel countertop is included with the Baron 420i Pro Shadow — it is built into the island and not a separate purchase.
What does "Shadow" mean — what does the finish look like?›
The Shadow finish refers to the premium powder-coat paint finish on the cabinet and the galvanized black painted steel side cabinets. It gives the island a darker, more contemporary look compared to a traditional full-stainless outdoor kitchen, while the stainless steel countertop and cookbox components provide durability where it counts.
What kind of cooking grids does the Baron 420i Pro Shadow use?›
The island uses stainless steel 8mm rod cooking grids. These are different from the cast stainless steel grids found on the Imperial QS and Imperial S lines — 8mm rod grids are durable and easy to clean, while cast stainless grids retain more heat and produce more pronounced sear marks.
Does the Baron 420i Pro Shadow have built-in lighting?›
Yes. The island includes illuminated control knobs, making it easier to adjust heat settings after dark.
What is the Broil King Baron 420i Pro Shadow warranty?›
Covered by Broil King's limited manufacturer warranty with limited lifetime coverage on the cookbox and 15-year coverage on remaining parts and paint warranty, honored directly by the manufacturer. Contact Broil King for warranty service and claims.
