Broil King 94977 Crown 70 Natural-Gas Grill with Rotisserie

Received quickly. About 1 hour to assemble with pictures only for directions. Grill is designed well and seems to have even heat across the grid. Was looking for the smaller size that had fold down shelves. Also being natural gas is a plus. This is just what I wanted in a grill.

Took my Weber siver genesis to my cabin and got the Broil King to replace it. Units are about equivalent in performance; W has parallel burners, BK has side by side circular type burners; BK was set up for natural gas, W had to be converted; BK came with rotissiere and a nice flexible quick release gas line, with W these were extras I had to buy; prefer the control setup on BK as W are on the top of the side counter top, preventing the use of the surface area. Cost of the two about equivalent but as noted BK came with what you needed to get grilling.

Pros: Cooks evenly; Minimal Flare-ups; Rotisserie works great and is easy to use

Cons: Assembly directions unclear

I assembled the grill in about 2 hours without help. There weren't enough written directions just pictures that weren't clear. It was difficult to see which parts went where and how they should be placed.
