Four Burners, Infrared Searing, and a Rotisserie Kit Included — the Regal S 490 Pro IR Delivers Premium Performance Without the Premium Complexity

The Regal S 490 Pro Infrared brings 50,000 BTUs of Dual-Tube burner power, a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner, 695 sq. in. of total cooking space, and an included rotisserie kit to a polished cabinet-base freestanding grill.

Four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners put 50,000 BTUs of even, controlled heat across 500 square inches of primary cooking space — the right footprint for a family cookout without the sprawl of a six-burner setup. The 10,000 BTU infrared side burner closes the gap between a backyard grill and a restaurant sear station, running hot enough to actually char a crust rather than just warm one. The 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and included rotisserie kit mean you're ready for whole birds and weekend roasts the day the grill arrives. Solid 9 mm stainless steel cooking grids hold heat better than standard grates, the Flav-R-Wave cooking system puts drippings-smoke back into your food, and illuminated control knobs plus built-in lights keep you grilling long after the sun goes down — all from an enclosed cabinet-base design that looks as good as it cooks.

Why the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared Stands Apart

Five things that separate this grill from a standard four-burner freestanding setup.

50,000 BTU

4-Burner Main Output

Four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners deliver even, high-output heat across 500 sq. in. of primary cooking space — serious performance in a four-burner footprint.

10,000 BTU

Infrared Side Burner

Infrared technology converts gas heat into intense surface energy, reaching temperatures high enough to genuinely sear — not just cook — with faster preheat than a conventional burner.

695 sq. in.

Total Cooking Space

500 sq. in. of primary cooking surface plus a stainless steel warming rack brings total usable capacity to 695 sq. in. — plenty of room for a full family spread.

9 mm

Solid Stainless Cooking Grids

Thick 9 mm stainless steel retains heat longer and produces better sear marks than standard grates — with none of the seasoning or rust concerns of cast iron.

15,000 BTU

Rear Rotisserie + Kit Included

A dedicated rear rotisserie burner and included rotisserie kit mean whole birds and roasts are on the menu from day one — no extra purchase required.

Deep Dive — Regal S 490 Pro Infrared

►

Four-burner power with infrared and rotisserie flexibility

With four stainless steel Dual-Tube burners producing 50,000 BTUs, the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared is designed for strong, even heat across the main grilling surface. The 10,000 BTU infrared side burner expands your options for steakhouse-style searing and side-burner prep work, while the 15,000 BTU rotisserie burner and included rotisserie kit make it easier to handle poultry, roasts, and more elevated outdoor menus.

Premium stainless steel grilling surfaces and flavor performance

Solid 9 mm stainless steel cooking grids provide durable heat retention with a premium feel, while the stainless steel Flav-R-Wave system helps vaporize drippings and return richer barbecue flavor to the food. Combined with the stainless steel warming rack and side shelves, this grill is built to deliver a more substantial and upscale cooking experience for buyers who want more than a basic freestanding model.

Refined freestanding design for a polished patio setup

Stainless steel side shelves, illuminated control knobs, and an enclosed cabinet base give the Regal S 490 Pro IR a cleaner, more finished appearance while preserving the flexibility of a freestanding layout. For homeowners building a more complete outdoor cooking setup, it offers a compelling balance of premium materials, functional storage, and grilling versatility.

Built-in convenience for day-to-night outdoor cooking

The included built-in lights and rotisserie kit add practical convenience right out of the box, helping this grill transition smoothly from casual weeknight meals to larger evening cookouts. Its combination of strong burner output, premium construction, and user-friendly features makes it especially attractive for buyers who want a more advanced backyard grill without moving into a full island installation.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take

►

The Regal S 490 Pro IR sits in a specific sweet spot: it's the premium four-burner for someone who wants the infrared side burner and rotisserie kit without paying for burner capacity they won't use. If you cook for a family or small group regularly, 500 square inches of primary surface is genuinely enough — and 695 total with the warming rack gives you room to manage a full spread without crowding the grates.

The difference between the S series and the Q series (iQue) comes down to smart connectivity. The Regal S 490 Pro IR doesn't have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — if remote monitoring matters to you, the Regal Q 490 Pro IR is the one to look at. But if you'd rather skip the app and just have a great grill with excellent build quality, infrared searing, and a rotisserie that's ready to go out of the box, the S series is a cleaner, more focused buy.

One real-world tip: the infrared side burner on this grill gets significantly hotter than a conventional side burner and preheats fast. Give it a couple of minutes before you put anything on it — it'll reward you with a better sear than most people expect from a side burner.

  • Homeowners who want premium four-burner performance without paying for unused burner capacity
  • Buyers who want an infrared side burner for genuine searing alongside the main grill
  • Cooks who use a rotisserie and want a dedicated rear burner ready to go out of the box
  • Buyers who prefer a cleaner, non-app grill experience over smart connectivity features
  • Anyone who wants the enclosed cabinet-base look and premium stainless steel construction at a four-burner price point

Frequently Asked Questions

►
Does the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared come in both propane and natural gas?►

Yes. The Regal S 490 Pro Infrared is available in both Liquid Propane (LP, model 956944) and Natural Gas (NG, model 956947). Select your fuel type at checkout.

What is the primary vs. total cooking space?►

The primary cooking surface is 500 sq. in. The stainless steel warming rack adds additional capacity, bringing total cooking space to 695 sq. in.

What is the total BTU output?►

The four main Dual-Tube burners produce 50,000 BTU. The infrared side burner adds 10,000 BTU, and the rear rotisserie burner adds 15,000 BTU.

Is the rotisserie kit included?►

Yes. The rotisserie kit is included, along with the 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner that powers it. No separate purchase is required.

What makes the infrared side burner different from a standard side burner?►

An infrared side burner focuses the gas flame onto a ceramic tile surface to convert heat into infrared energy, reaching significantly higher surface temperatures than a conventional burner. This makes it better suited for high-heat searing, wok cooking, and tasks that require intense, direct heat quickly. Allow it a couple of minutes to preheat for best results.

What type of cooking grids does the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared use?►

The grill comes with solid 9 mm stainless steel cooking grids. Thicker than standard grill grates, they provide better heat retention, more durable searing surfaces, and require far less maintenance than cast iron.

What is the Flav-R-Wave cooking system?►

The Flav-R-Wave cooking system uses stainless steel wave-shaped components positioned between the burners and cooking grids. They catch drippings and vaporize them, circulating smoke and flavor back up to the food for a richer, more traditional barbecue result.

Does the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared have smart Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity?►

No. The Regal S 490 Pro Infrared does not include iQue smart technology. If Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are important to you, the Regal Q 490 Pro Infrared includes iQue and is otherwise very similar in configuration.

What does the grill weigh?►

The Regal S 490 Pro Infrared weighs 189 lbs.

What warranty does the Regal S 490 Pro Infrared carry?►

Covered by Broil King's Lifetime warranty on the cookbox, with 15-year top-to-bottom coverage, honored directly by Broil King (Onward Manufacturing Company).

How does the Regal S 490 Pro IR compare to the Regal Q 490 Pro IR?►

Both are four-burner freestanding grills with a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner, 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner, 9 mm stainless steel cooking grids, and enclosed cabinet base. The key difference is connectivity: the Regal Q 490 Pro IR includes iQue smart technology (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) while the Regal S 490 Pro IR does not. The S series also includes a separate primary cooking space figure (500 sq. in.) and total cooking space figure (695 sq. in.) that accounts for the warming rack.

Is this grill freestanding or does it require installation?►

The Regal S 490 Pro Infrared is a freestanding grill with an enclosed cabinet base — no outdoor kitchen island or custom enclosure is required. It can be placed anywhere on your patio or deck with appropriate gas line or propane tank access.
