Brinkmann Grills: Low Priced, Good Sizes, Plenty Of Power

Not many outdoor grill manufacturers fall into the category of large grills at low prices. Many shoppers who are on a budget want to grill for five or more people, but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for their grill. If this sounds like you, Brinkmann grills may have the right model you’re looking for.

Brinkmann Corporation started over 30 years ago and makes a wide variety of outdoor products. Today, they’re primarily known for their flashlights, grills, and camping equipment, but also make lawn products and hunting gear. Over the years Brinkmann has become one of the most common names in gas grills and they’re sold almost everywhere.

With prices starting at just 99 dollars and going as high as 499, these grills can fit in anyone’s budget. Although you do get what you pay for, Brinkmann offers a lot for this price. Heat outputs range from 52,000 to 72,000 BTU’s and grill sizes start at 550 square inches and go as high as 822. For this price range, few other manufacturers offer this size and power combination.

While Brinkmann grills do offer power and size, quality is lacking. Heat distribution is a little uneven and some models seem to be a hit or miss. Depending on which model you purchase, some offer much better values than others. Common problems with these grills are results of their inexpensive internals, fasteners and wheels. It is not uncommon for these parts to rust or break off within several seasons. Still though, it’s hard to beat the price.

All in all, because of its large size, low price, and high power combination, a Brinkmann grill would be a good consideration for someone on a budget who requires a large grilling area. There are few other grills that match this size and price, however, due to quality issues, if you can do with a smaller grill, there may be better options available.
