Full Review – Dyna-Glo 5-Burner Gas Grill Model# DGH474CRP
The Dyna-Glo 5-Burner Gas Grill Model# DGH474CRP is a standard, inexpensive gas grill exclusive to Home Depot stores. The promoted feature is its ‘sear burner’. This is, in truth, a standard gas burner with slightly higher BTUs under a unique cast iron cooking grate section. This burner produces up to 15,000 BTUs while the other four burners can reach 12,000 BTUs. In truth, this feature isn’t that impressive. It will get a little hotter, but not considerably. It does, however, look impressive in the showroom.
You also get a 12,000 BTU side burner with this grill, but it is very typical of Dyna-Glo grills. This unit weighs around 73 pounds. Considering the cast iron cooking grates, you can see how much material is used to make the rest of the grill. Of course, at around $250USD, this is an inexpensive grill, but you do get what you pay for. My recommendation is something a little more basic that is built better. Simply put, this Dyna-Glo Gas Grill offers a lot but delivers very little.
