Guide Review - Cook-On 3-Burner Gas Grill Review
This model has been discontinued.Barbeques Galore is the worlds first franchised grill store. They are an Australian company who imports grills primary made in China for the Australian and American market. The Cook-On line is at the bottom of their grill line. Barbeques Galore has a good reputation for service and support and is in the business for the long haul with over 150 stores.
This grill has three porcelain coated cast iron burners producing 42,000 BTUs under a primary cooking area of 494 square inches. While this is a little light this grill does produce good, even heat. You might want to give it an extra minute or two to heat up. The porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates will require you to take good care not to chip them, but are a great cooking surface. If you're interested I'm told you can change out the grates and burners for stainless steel.
As a grill that can cook this is a good one. About $400 you can't get many other grills of this size and power with heavy cast iron components. It does have a primitive design, but at this price range you really should be looking for a grill that cooks well and not something fancy. While there really isn't anything that stands out about this grill, the price is certainly right.
This grill is available in a number of configurations.
