Richelieu 103BR 6-1/4" Tall Door Knocker - Brass

Our new Broil King Regal Pro was recently purchased after 10 years of faithful service from our last Broil King. We seriously examined the other two equally-reputable brands but remained with our brand due to reasonable value, past experience, and the fact that Broil King offer their top model(s) at only a modest premium. The last Broil King was not without "issues" .. such as a warped bowl and a quickly-rusted out metal catch plate below the bowl. However, we felt these weaknesses had been adequately addressed on the new top model (10 year burner warranty etc.) with changed design. Assembly was easier than many reviewers posted .. just go slow and FOLLOW the instructions. Yes, a couple of screws were difficult to align but not a big deal, and the lid pins required a hammer and WD-40 for me to insert due to post painting over holes during manufacture. (Note to BK .. alert customers to this in your instructions). Our first steaks on the stainless grid were amazingly well seared following very fast warm up. If anything, I will have to re-learn my temperature control tricks ! Finally, this model is totally North American-made .. no Chinese parts .. and THAT gives me an additional sense of satisfaction !!

I have been using the grill for a few weeks now and am very happy with my choice of this model over the Weber grills I was considering. I am most happy with the ability to maintain a cooking temperature. My previous Frigidare grill was virtually impossible to maintain constant cooking temps. The grill is very easy to keep clean after each use which is also a plus for me. Assembly was not difficult as the picture instructions were fairly easy to follow. I recommend the careful use of a powered screw driver as some of the fasteners should be started by hand before tightened down with a powered driver. Also, if you are using a natural gas unit, be sure to confirm that you have the correct connections to your gas supply before starting assembly. I finished assembly and then needed to wait until Monday for the local gas vendor to open and buy a $2 part before we could actually use the grill.
