We did extensive research for a new grill. Had a Holland for 11 years, but needed something new. The information provided online for the Emeril Viking grill sounded almost too good to be true, but we found it to meet all our expectations and then some... For years, our Holland grill took 15-20 minutes to heat to a good cooking temperature and then required us to be at the grill for 30 minutes or more depending on what we grilled. The Emeril Viking heats in about 3 minutes. The 4 burners do the trick and how... the grill cooks evenly and very quickly. Everything we have cooked so far (including burgers, steaks, chicken, shish-ka-bobs, and even jalapeno poppers) have been grilled to perfection... we didn't know what we were missing - WOW...
We couldn't be more pleased with our new grill. There are a couple of downers, though... one was the assembly. Assembly claimed to take 45 minutes - that's a bit off. I am not a novice with tools and it took me about 1 1/2 hours, so make sure you have the time to put it together... The only other negative is moving the grill around. It has wheels but doesn't like uneven surfaces at all... be careful when rolling it on a brick patio or similar surface - you could encounter unwanted results...
Overall this is the best grill we have ever owned... we would definitely recommend it...
