The infrared side burner expands your options for high-heat searing and pan work, while the rear rotisserie burner adds another layer of flexibility for roasts, poultry, and more elaborate outdoor cooking menus.

Thoughtful grilling workflow with included premium accessories

The included rotisserie kit and cast iron griddle help turn this island into more than a standard grill cart alternative. Electronic ignition, illuminated knobs, a steel warming rack, and Broil King’s Flav-R-Wave system all work together to support fast startup, controlled heat delivery, and a smoother cooking experience for hosts who want restaurant-style capability at home.

Complete island convenience for entertaining and daily use
