Hi I’m Randy with BBQGuys.
Today we are going to be taking a look at Lion gas grills.
They do offer different sizes and configurations, but today we are mainly going to be focusing
on the 40 inch model.
Let’s get to it.
Lion Gas Grills feature commercial quality 304 stainless steel construction for longevity
and a sleek look.
The cooking grids of the grill are solid stainless steel rods, making them durable and able to
retain enough heat to get nice grill marks on whatever you choose to grill.
For cooking surface versatility, Lion includes a stainless steel griddle that can easily
swap for a portion of the cooking grids, when it comes to cooking something like crispy
bacon breakfast on your grill.
It’s nice to be able to cook griddle style when you want, without having to dedicate
permanent space in your kitchen.
Lion even includes aa griddle lifter tool to keep your hands clean, and it also doubles
as a bottle opener.
Under the cooking surface of Lion Gas Grills, you will find their stainless steel flame
tamers.
They form a tent shape over the burners, protecting them from grease and debris when grilling.
It’s worth noting that Lion does offer ceramic heat tube style flame tamer upgrades as an
optional accessory.
The panels are sold separately, so you can either cover all of your burners with the
ceramic tamers, or mix and match tamer styles.
The ceramic heat tube style tamers cover about 40% more of the area above the grill’s burners,
leading to better heat distribution.
These tamers work well for more delicate items like veggies or chicken wings, where you want
lower, more steady diffused heat.
Over the ceramic tamers, I had more time to apply bbq sauce without having to worry about
it burning too quickly.
Under the flame tamers of the Lion gas grill, you will find their 304 stainless steel burners.
They are constructed from thick cast stainless steel for durability.
They have a roof shape above the side ports, helping them stay clear of debris.
Each of the burners are lit with reliable push and turn flame thrower ignition.
This Lion 40 inch grill produces a combined total of 75,000 BTUS of cooking power from
the conventional burners.
Beneath the burners of Lion grills, you will find stainless steel baffles that help regulate
the airflow of the grill . They are easily removable for cleaning when needed.
When it comes to steakhouse quality searing, Lion offers an optional infrared burner accessory
that easily swaps for a conventional burner without requiring any tools.
Simply install this burner when you want the quick preheat and high heat range of infrared,
without having to permanently dedicate your grilling space to it like some grills.
For times when you are looking to grill with the flavor of charcoal, Lion also offers a
stainless steel charcoal tray accessory.
It rests right above the conventional burner, making igniting the charcoal as simple as
turning a knob.
Because the burner runs beneath the whole pan, the charcoal ignites evenly.
After just a few minutes, I was ready to grill.
When it comes to rotisserie style cooking, Lion gas grills have you covered with an included
15,000 BTU rear infrared burner and rotisserie kit.
This pork loin turned out great on the rotisserie, and this style of cooking makes for a really
low maintenance cook.
Lion also includes a stainless steel smoker box with their gas grills, for when you want
to add a little smokey flavor to your food.
When extra cooking space is needed, Lion grills have a warming rack that is perfect for keeping
sides hot while you grill the rest of your meal.
When you don’t need it, you can remove it entirely, or tilt it out of the way for easier
access to the back cooking grids.
To keep an eye on your cooking temperature, Lion has an easy read hood mounted thermometer.
And f or night time entertaining, Lion gas grills feature two interior lights that can
be switched on from the control panel.
Lion grills have a full width stainless steel grease pan, that can be removed when cleaning
is needed.
When it comes to configurations, Lion gas grills can be either built in or freestanding,
and come in the popular size options of 32 and 40 inches.
Now we’ll perform the XRF test on the Lion 40 inch gas grill.
The firebox, burners, flame tamers, cooking grids, grill hood, and drip pan all tested
to be 304 stainless steel.
