About - Broil King Signet 90 986784 LP
The Broil King Signet 90 986784 LP is part of the gas grill test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas grill models like the Signet 90 986784 LP are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Low temp performance: Combines the evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the low setting (using thermocouples) and the models ability to cook chicken and fish on the gril at that setting without burning the food. High temp evenness: Evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the high setting, using thermocouples. Indirect cooking: This indicates how well the grill will slow cook foods when only some of the burners are on and the food isn't placed directly over the flame.

Features & Specs - Broil King Signet 90 986784 LP
Stainless-steel grates Primary cooking grates made of stainless-steel are generally sturdier than those made of coated steel and resist rust even without a porcelain coating. Stainless-steel grates	No
Coated-cast-iron grates The grill's primary cooking grates may be made of porcelain coated cast-iron, which generally sears meats better and keeps grilling temperatures more consistent than grates made of porcelain coated steel. The porcelain coating usually makes such grates easier to clean than other surfaces, and the grates should resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn't chipped. Coated-cast-iron grates	Yes
All or mostly stainless Includes more than just a panel or other trim. Based on our limited tests, nonmagnetic stainless is less likely to corrode. All or mostly stainless	No
Long-warranty burners While burners remain the grill's most-replaced part, most are warranted for only 3 to 5 years. Better burners are covered for 10 years or more. Long-warranty burners	No
Side burner A side burner, which resembles a gas-stove burner and has its own heat control, is handy if you want to cook vegetables or sauce without leaving the grill. Side burner	Yes
Infrared burner Gas burner that uses infrared technology (ceramic burner, plates and screens, or troughs as some examples) for cooking. An indirect flame is used for cooking food. Burner can be located as the main burner, side burner, rotisserie burner, or any combination of burners. Infrared burner	none

Upgraded from a decade old BBQ to this model and am very impressed by the value and quality of the unit. Every meal that I have put together with this so far has turned out perfect. Assembly was very quick and the fit and finish is very good. Great flame control and fast heatup.

Comment:

I have owned and used several high quality grills, and this is one of the best cooking grill available. It's proof that you don't have to spend a fortune to for great results. Parts quality is very good. Very easy to assemble. [...]. It excels at both high temp. searing and cooking with indirect heat. Heavy duty SS bar cooking grates hold heat well and produce excellent sear marks. As with most gas grills, for best result with high temp. cooking, only about 1/3 of the grilling surface should be used. Excellent high-low temp. range. Only minor complaints are that it uses a small grease collector, and the rotisserie motor will only handle about 12 lbs. However, all but a small amount of grease is vaporized or burned off during cooking. So, very little actually makes it down to the collector.
