Broilmaster has been in the gas grill business for decades. Their business model is built around the idea of making a grill that lasts virtually forever. In this day of throw-away products, this might seem a little strange, but if you are going to go to the effort of building a custom enclosure for your outdoor kitchen, you probably want a gas grill that will last a long time. Broilmaster provides that. This isnโ€™t to say that they are not the only ones that do, but if you are reading this, you are at least thinking along these lines.

There is, of course, another hand to all this. The Broilmaster P3 isnโ€™t fancy, modern looking, or highly versatile. This is a basic two-burner gas grill, not all that different from the original gas grills of the 1950s and 60s. Further, the burner is a single unit and if it needs replacing, which could happen, the whole unit needs to be replaced. The burner is controlled by two valves and this simple configuration doesnโ€™t make for a high level of variable cooking, like indirect grilling.

This is not to say that the Broilmaster P3 isnโ€™t an innovative grill. While it relies on a cast aluminum shell and the old-style single burner unit system, this gas grill has multi-level cooking grates that allow you to adjust the distance between the food and the flame. There is a completely unique shutter system in this grill that turns it into an indirect oven and with some wood chips, a smoking oven (I wonโ€™t call it a smoker).

So, this gas grill is built to last, has innovative solutions to adapt its relatively small size to a wide range of cooking styles, and has powerful heat output. If you are looking for a grill that cooks impressively, even if it if doesnโ€™t look that impressive, set aside the stainless steel hype and consider this for your outdoor kitchen.
