Uniflame Grills:
Bargain Priced, Hit And
Miss Models, Some A Good Value
It is
easy to find quality grills in higher price ranges, but to find a good grill around 100 dollars or even
less can be quite a challenge. Outdoor grills in this category can be a real hit or miss, even from within the same
brand, so it pays to do your research and read reviews. After all, not everyone wants to spend a small fortune on a
gas grill. Luckily, there are several options for the budget minded shopper and the prices on Uniflame grills
simply cannot be beaten.
Uniflame grills are sold exclusively at
Wal-Mart and are imported from China by Blue Rhino, the brand many people get their propane tanks from. Starting
out in 1994 as a propane tank exchange service, Blue Rhino quickly became the number one source for propane tanks
in the United States. Its founder, Billy Prim thought up the brand name after an African safari and hasn’t looked
back since. Now Blue Rhino manufactures and distributes a wide range of gas fueled items relating to the outdoors
including heaters, fireplaces, and Uniflame grills.
Today Uniflame grills are designed and
marketed as the lowest priced gas grills you can find, while still delivering style and performance. It’s important
to recognize that due to their budget pricing, some particular models may be much better purchases than others.
Their current lineup includes grills priced from 25 dollars to 250 dollars. These models include both portable and
full sized grills ranging in size from 207 to 759 square inches and 10,000 to 68,000 BTU’s.
When purchasing an outdoor grill in this price range it’s easy to see that
there can be some real value to be had. Although these grills are made of inexpensive materials and include many
plastic parts, for the price it’s hard to complain. It’s surprising that for such a low price many models are
actually quite feature packed, with some even including sear burners, side burners, and rotisseries. In addition,
most models have sufficient heat output and cook relatively evenly. On the other hand however, the main drawbacks
of these grills are the light weight materials and flimsy metal parts. The grates and burners are made from ultra
thin metal and the porcelain coating on many of their models is not very durable.
Overall, with such a low price, it’s
hard to go wrong with a Uniflame grill, but be careful to choose your model wisely and keep your
expectations in line with the price of these grills. If you do, it should offer good value for the
price.
