The Bottom Line

Lynx Professional gas grills are among the best there are. This three burner unit is the smallest and most basic of their grills. At around $4,000 you'll be paying a lot for a grill, but you'll get one that cooks great and is built for last. The attention to detail on this grill is fantastic. Heavy 304 stainless steel has welded seams and a near perfect construction. This unit comes a great rotisserie system including a three speed motor and two position rack.

Guide Review - Lynx 48-inch Freestanding Gas Grill

Lynx has been making some of the best cooking gas grills on the market for decades. These grills are built to grill with some of the highest attention to detail you'll find. All their grills use high quality stainless steel with welded seams and expert craftsmanship. While this unit is the smallest and most basic of their grills there are loads of options available. It is also designed on cart or as an insert. This Lynx grill uses three "red" cast brass burners that each pump out 25,000 BTUs, enough for the 855 square inches of primary cooking space. These burners will probably last longer than you will.

This grill also uses traditional ceramic briquettes in it's vaporization barrier giving great radiant heat and excellent grease drainage. The 304 stainless steel is thick, durable and polished to a high finish. While this unit may not look terribly modern by today's standards the construction is amongst the best.

At more than $4,000 you'll be spending a lot for this grill but it looks great in any enclosure. It is a perfect grill for custom projects and comes natural gas or propane.

This unit comes with a standard rotisserie system that includes rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner, two position rack and three speed motor. You also have the option or changing out one of the standard burners for an infrared "searing" burner.
