Cabinet & Storage Features+
Island Cabinet & Smart Storage
Weather-Resistant BuildGalvanised black powder-coated steel construction — sharp, modern finish engineered for UAE heat, humidity, and coastal conditions without warping, rust, or panel separation. |
Stainless Steel CountertopFull-width stainless work surface built to handle hot trays, sharp blades, and years of entertaining — wipes clean in seconds and keeps prep moving without trips back to the indoor kitchen. |
Soft-Close Hinges & Stainless HandlesSoft-close hinges on every door and drawer, finished with stainless steel handles — no slamming, no rattle, no wear over time. The quiet details that separate an outdoor kitchen from a patio grill. |
Ventilated Gas Tank CabinetFirst of three purpose-built cabinets — a dedicated ventilated compartment that keeps the LPG cylinder hidden, stable, and easily accessible. Clean exterior, no visible hose runs, safe airflow engineered in. |
Grill-Head & Door / Drawer CabinetsThe remaining two cabinets — a dedicated grill-head drawer cabinet and a configurable door / drawer cabinet — give you organised, weather-ready storage where you actually need it. Swap in a built-in trash & recycling module if your workflow needs it. |

Cooking System
750 sq. in. of Cooking Space750 sq. in. (4,838 sq. cm) total cooking area — 460 sq. in. primary grid plus stainless warming rack — capacity to feed a full table of family and friends without staggering batches. Steaks and sides moving through one session, not three. |
304 Stainless Flav-R-Wave™ System304 stainless steel heat distribution bars vaporise drippings back into the food, locking in the signature Broil King smoky flavour — while shielding burners from flare-ups. Even heat across the grid, no hot spots, no dead zones. |
Flav-R-Cast™ Iron Cooking GridsHeavy Flav-R-Cast™ iron grids retain heat and deliver deep, even sear marks — reversible design with wide bars for steakhouse marks and a narrow side for delicate foods. The crust proteins actually deserve. |
Stainless Warming RackFull-width stainless warming rack holds finished food at serving temperature, or toasts buns and flatbreads while the main grid finishes. No dish lands cold at the table. |
Power & Performance
40,000 BTU Dual-Tube™ Burners40,000 BTU (11.7 kWh) main burner output across four stainless steel Dual-Tube™ burners — consistent heat across the full grid, fast preheat, even flame pattern, built to last seasons of UAE cooking. |
10,000 BTU Infrared Side BurnerDedicated infrared side burner — 10,000 BTU (2.9 kWh) — for intense, steakhouse-grade searing. Restaurant crust on steaks, instant boils for seafood or sauces, zero waiting on a separate cooker. |
15,000 BTU Rear Rotisserie (Kit Included)Dedicated 15,000 BTU (4.4 kWh) rear rotisserie burner with premium rotisserie kit included — whole chickens, leg of lamb, porchetta, all spinning over controlled radiant heat with that unmistakable even crust. |
