Inspired by professional cooking appliances and designed for the true outdoor grilling enthusiast, the newly refined Broil King Imperial series enables you to truly enjoy the finer moments with friends and family. The stainless steel construction of every barbecue in the Imperial series provides the best in both quality and looks. However, you can rest assured that the Imperial series isn’t just about appearance.
The Imperial XL features a 60,000 BTU stainless steel Dual-Tube burner system that’s complemented by a 15,000 BTU stainless steel rear rotisserie burner with graduated ports along the entire length to ensures even flame height for consistent roasting. Additionally, the Imperial XL includes a 10,000 BTU cast brass side burner that enables you to create mouth-watering side dishes, soups, and sauces while you grill. This version of the Imperial XL is fueled by natural gas, and it’s also available in a liquid propane model.
Stylishly appointed yet durably constructed, the Imperial XL offers a stainless steel hood panel with double-lined cast aluminum end caps in addition to its stainless steel oven, control panel, and side shelves. It includes two pull-out utility drawers plus an additional tall pull-out drawer for more storage. With the flip of a switch the heavy-duty locking swivel casters keep your grill stationary and stable. And thanks to the built-in oven lights, you’ll be able to see what you are grilling — even at midnight.
The Sure-Lite ignition system starts your grilling session with the push of a button, and the exterior includes an easy-to-read stainless steel thermometer with a probe that reaches deep into the oven, giving you a more accurate temperature reading.
Massive Stainless Steel Cooking Grid
The Imperial XL’s cooking grid is split between a large oven with 500 square inches of solid stainless steel cooking grids and a small oven with 225 square inches of heavy duty cast iron cooking grids. The stainless steel cooking grids are made of heavy gauge rods. The high quality steel ensures excellent heat retention and long lasting durability, and they’re easy to clean. The smaller oven’s cast iron grid is reversible — one side is pointed to give you perfect grill marks, while the other side is grooved to capture juices for continuous basting while cooking. With a little care, they will last a lifetime.
Stainless Steel Dual-Tube Burners
Broil King’s patented burner technology ensures a consistent flame from front to back, providing even and efficient heat distribution at the cooking surface and eliminating hot and cold spots. The Imperial 490 includes four Dual-Tube burners.
Incredible Flav-R-Wave Flavor
The stainless steel Flav-R-Wave cooking system provides superior heat distribution across the entire surface of the grill and protects the burners. As drippings fall onto the Flav-R-Wave, they are instantly turned into vapor, which infuses your food with that delicious barbecue flavor.
Complete Temperature Control
Broil King’s Linear-Flow valves with 180-degree Sensi-Touch control knobs give you infinite heat control, enabling you to set your grill to the perfect temperature for searing, roasting, or slow cooking.
Stainless Steel Rotisserie Burner
With graduated ports along the entire length, it ensures even flame height for consistent and even roasting. The Imperial includes Broil King’s premium rotisserie kit.
Durability
Broil King uses high quality stainless steel for many components. All other steel is coated with zinc and further protected by an epoxy paint that is baked on through a powder-coat process. This premium triple-coat process provides superior rust protection.
