HD-Broil Mate BBQ $50 off until April 20

[jdouce]

I've been eyeing this BBQ for a while hoping it might go on sale soon, and it has! Both the NG and LP are now $50 off (299 and 249)

This is a great BBQ for this price as it is essentially the same as more expensive Broil Kings which are made by the same company.

I have the same BBQ but the Broil King version. It's great! I think the burners are a better design on the Broil King, but by the picture, it seems essentially the same on the outside. Meat can be slightly sticky the first time or two until you "grease in" the cast iron grill surfaces.

I have the NG BBQ from HD and love it! I don't have any need for side burners or rotisserie, so this is perfect for me. I was able to use it throughout the winter and it always put out plenty of heat.

I don't really want to spend the extra $ for a rotisserie or side burner either since I know I won't use them.. so this bbq looks to be perfect!

My only concern is how durable the porcelain coated cast iron grill is. How is yours holding up?

[h00ch]

They're great. When I clean them (not very often) they look brand new again. Very well built and I'd also suggest to everyone that you put it together yourself or get a friend/family member to help if necessary. Don't trust the people at the store to do a good job and test it properly for leaks once assembled.

I think I'll pick mine up tonight.. I hope they have them in stock.

Good suggestion about assebling it yourself.

Is this an older model because I can't seem to find it on the Broil Mate website. The closest match seems to be the 19555 but unsure of what the differences are.

It's identical

Is this made in China? Does anyone know if they have models with side burner on sale?

Thanks

I put together a Sterling alone and it was easy to assemble. Made by the same group OMC (omcbbq.com) as Broil-King and Broil-mate.
The body w/burners, insturments were pre-built. I really only assembled the stand and put the body on to it. I think they call it Reddi-built or something.

Made in Canada by OMC www.omcbbq.com

Thanks - sounds like a good buy!

I think I may go get this tomorrow. I was going to buy a more expensive Webber or Napoleon but I know Broil King / Mate is going to last 8-10 years and so long as it's still made in Canada, I think I will do fine with this.

Great deal!

thx, bought a NG today...trying to assemble it myself tomorrow

anyone knows the size of the box?

also, does it come with second grill (you know, the smaller on that goes at the back for buns and what not)?

Hi All,

I was at the home depot checking out BBQ yesterday when I noticed the Broil-Mates were on sale. I picked up the model that is on for $249.

I was also considering getting the Weber E310 for ~$400 in the US (it's $549 at Home Depot). I'm glad I got this instead. The Weber is made in China the Broil-mate in Canada. I'm a engineer, I inspected the BBQ builds and was very impressed with the Broil-Mate's Build. I was also very impressed with how easy it went together. (I've put quite a few cheep BBQ together). A 11mm wrench will help!

This model has the top 'Bun' grill.

PS. I really like the heavy porcilin coated grills that came with this model.

Can't wait to fire it up tonight. Too bad I got the last one in Van!

Cheers
