CONS

PGS is another of the oldest gas grill makers who still build their products on the old model, to last forever. This is not a flashy gas grill. It isnโ€™t huge and it isnโ€™t loaded with extras. The body is made from thick cast aluminum that will last for decades, if not longer. There are versions of this grill that have been in continuous use since the 1960s. If you hate replacing your gas grill every few years, you might want to consider this unit.

At the heart of the PGS A40 is a single unit, dual control stainless steel H-type burner. Each side of this burner can produce up to 20,000 BTUs. With 434 square inches of primary grilling space, this is a small, but powerful grill. Over the burner sits a layer of ceramic briquettes. These burn off drippings, hold an even heat, and help to keep the grill clean (turn them over periodically to keep them from developing layers of gunk).

The cooking grates of this grill are heavy stainless steel. Combine these factors with the heavy cast aluminum body and you have a grill that holds in the heat much more efficiently than most modern grills. Aside from this, there isnโ€™t much else to this grill. It doesnโ€™t have loads of extras, but it does have power and durability. It will grill and grill well. You can get a rotisserie kit for this grill and there are a number of mounting options, but thatโ€™s it.
