This review is from: Broil King Sovereign 70 Liquid-Propane Gas Grill with Rotisserie (Lawn & Patio)
If you need heat, this thing is borderline too much. Put a pizza stone in and you can cook a proper pizza at 750 degrees. Thick steaks - you had better be ready to turn down the heat. Brown a quail in 2.5 minutes per side - you'll have perfect mahogany color.
For the past 8 years I have been grilling on a broil king and when I decided to replace it, I looked at everything. Barbeques Galore's Turbo models were the only ones that really had me thinking about switching away from Broil King. I didn't want a $4,000 grill. The all stainless Turbo model would run me almost $2,000.00 and I am not sure how much longer it was going to last in reality. So I went back to Broil King and spent $700 and I got another great grill.
Pros:
Hot - you can seriously mess up some meat if you are not careful.
Well built - it is not carved from billet, but it is plenty sturdy.
SS grates - I was always a cast iron grate fan, but I really like the stainless steel cooking surface and I think it will outlast the rest of the grill.
Value - For the quality and the power of this thing, I think it is a great deal.
Controls - The flame controls have a great feel of precision to them without any play.
Replacement parts - everything is replacable and the manufacturer is going to be around to sell you parts.
Con's:
Hot - you can seriously mess up some meat if you are not careful.
Flare-ups - This one seems to flare up more easily than my last one which had different flame shields.
Cast aluminum body - you can overheat this grill and the body of it can deform.
Gas burner for rotisserie - Honestly, I don't know if this is good or bad since I never use the rotisserie, but everyone else uses an infrared burner.
Overall, I like this Broil King even better than my last one and I have never grilled on anything better.

BroilKing Grill Sovereign 70, June 29, 2009
This review is from: Broil King Sovereign 70 Liquid-Propane Gas Grill with Rotisserie (Lawn & Patio)
Received the Sovereign 70 grill. Assembly wasn't too bad, took about 45 minutes. It's a very nice grill, made with quality parts. The three burner system is nice to be able to scale you cooking surface to what you need. The middle section seems to burn a little hotter than the two sides. Heat control is very good. I highly recommend this product.
