Broilmaster Grills

(4 products)

Broilmaster gas grills are built around the patented stainless steel Bow Tie Burner, manufactured under the brand since 1966 (owned today by Empire Comfort Systems Inc.). Four series cover the Serene Yards lineup: B Series Stainless (304 stainless steel built-in or freestanding heads with a rear rotisserie burner standard), Premium (cast aluminum P3 and P4 heads with the Bow Tie Burner at 40,000 BTU), Super Premium (the loaded P3SX with Smoker Shutter, stainless steel griddle, folding Retract-A-Rack, and Flare Buster ceramic flavor enhancers standard), and Specialty Slow Cooker (the Q3X / Q3XN, with a stainless steel oval burner that runs 7,500 to 26,500 BTU for traditional low-and-slow barbecue). For a side-by-side spec comparison and how to choose between the four series, see our Broilmaster grill comparison guide.

The Technology Behind Broilmaster Gas Grills

Broilmaster's defining engineering is the patented stainless steel Bow Tie Burner — the burner shape introduced on the original 1966 G-1000 model that anchors the Premium and Super Premium lines today. A single Bow Tie Burner delivers 40,000 BTU across the full grill head with separate left/right control for indirect cooking, and carries a Limited Lifetime warranty against rust-through. The B Series Stainless uses a different burner architecture — 4 or 5 cast stainless steel straight burners at 14,000 BTU each, plus a rear rotisserie burner standard. The Specialty Slow Cooker uses a stainless steel oval burner that ranges from 7,500 to 26,500 BTU, engineered for low-temperature barbecue rather than high-temp searing.

Flavor enhancement varies by model. Plain X Premium models (P3X, P4X) ship with Charmaster Briquets — porcelain-coated steel briquets that absorb drippings and re-radiate heat. F-suffix models (P3XF, P4XF) and every Super Premium ship with Flare Buster ceramic flavor enhancers instead — uniform ceramic plates that offer more even heat distribution and active flare-up suppression (5-year warranty against rust-through). The Slow Cooker uses neither — it runs a full-area stainless steel drip pan with an external drip bucket to channel fat away from the burner.

Ignition differs by series. The B Series uses Push & Turn Flame Thrower ignition with no battery and no 120V outlet required — the only Broilmaster series with zero power dependency. The Premium, Super Premium, and Slow Cooker each use an Electric Ignitor that runs on a single AA alkaline battery; the most common "burner won't light" complaint on these series is a dead battery.

Broilmaster Series at a Glance

The B Series Stainless is the brand's 304 stainless steel built-in line — BSB324 (32", 4 burners, 56,000 BTU) and BSB405 (40", 5 burners, 70,000 BTU), both with a rear rotisserie burner standard, plus the BSB253 (25", 2 burners). A 316 marine-grade variant (BSB324MG) is available for coastal installations. The Premium Series covers the cast aluminum Bow Tie Burner heads in two sizes — P3 (695 sq in) and P4 (473 sq in) — across LP and NG variants, with three package SKUs (P3PK5/N cart, P3PK6N in-ground post, P3PK7N patio post) bundling a P3X head with a coordinated mounting. The Super Premium Series is the P3X grill head delivered fully loaded — P3SX (LP) or P3SXN (NG) ships with the Smoker Shutter, stainless steel griddle, folding Retract-A-Rack, and Flare Buster ceramic enhancers all standard rather than as separate accessory orders. The Specialty Slow Cooker (Q3X / Q3XN) is a different cooking modality entirely — engineered for the low temperatures, long times, and steady moisture that traditional barbecue requires.

Mounting and Installation: What to Know Before You Buy

Premium, Super Premium, and Slow Cooker grill heads are sold separately from their mounting bases. Four mounting options cover most install scenarios: cart (PCB-1 stainless, DCB-1 black painted, or PSCB-1 stainless storage cart), in-ground post (SS48-G stainless or BL48-G black painted, anchored below the patio surface in concrete), patio post with cast iron base (SS26-P stainless or BL26-P black painted, bolted to existing patio), or built-in (BHAX2 stainless steel built-in kit for P3X / H3X). Package SKUs (P3PK5/N, P3PK6N, P3PK7N) bundle a P3X head with a coordinated base at a package price.

The B Series is purpose-built for built-in island installation with the optional stainless steel sleeve, but is also available in a freestanding "Loaded" trim. B Series cutouts: 8½″ × 20½″ × 31″ for the BSB324 (32"), and 8½″ × 20½″ × 38″ for the BSB405 (40"). For the full breakdown, see the Broilmaster B Series size guide or the Premium size & mounting guide.

All four series share the same install requirements: 16-inch minimum clearance from sides to combustibles, 18-inch minimum clearance from rear, no combustible overhead structure (no carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs), and 7.0″ water column natural gas inlet pressure. The brand-wide warranty starts at Limited Lifetime against rust-through on the housing, stainless cooking grids, the Bow Tie Burner, and the stainless steel built-in components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Broilmaster a good brand?

Broilmaster has manufactured premium gas grills since 1966 and is owned by Empire Comfort Systems Inc., headquartered in Belleville, Illinois (Empire acquired the Broilmaster Grill Division in November 2001). Construction places the brand in the premium tier of residential outdoor gas grills — heavy-duty cast aluminum heads on the Premium, Super Premium, and Slow Cooker series, and 304 stainless steel (with optional 316 marine-grade) on the B Series. The patented stainless steel Bow Tie Burner anchors the Premium and Super Premium lineups and carries a Limited Lifetime warranty against rust-through.

How long do Broilmaster grills last?

Broilmaster's headline warranty term is Limited Lifetime against rust-through, applied to the cast aluminum grill housing (excluding paint), stainless steel cooking grids, stainless steel griddles, the stainless steel Bow Tie Burner, the stainless steel cart and mounting components, and the stainless steel built-in components. Other components carry tiered terms: 5 years on Flare Buster ceramic flavor enhancers and the Smoker Shutter, 2 years on porcelain-coated briquet racks and the chrome-plated warming rack, 1 year on valves, knobs, ignitors, hoses, fittings, grease cups, and drip buckets.

What is the difference between the B Series, Premium, Super Premium, and Slow Cooker?

The four series differ on three axes: construction material (304 stainless on B Series vs cast aluminum on the others), burner architecture (cast SS straight on B Series vs Bow Tie Burner on Premium/Super Premium vs oval burner on Slow Cooker), and cooking modality (high-temp grilling on B Series, Premium, and Super Premium vs low-temp barbecue on the Slow Cooker). For a complete side-by-side comparison including BTU, cooking area, mounting options, and how to choose by use case and budget, see the Broilmaster grill comparison guide.

Who owns Broilmaster?

Broilmaster is owned by Empire Comfort Systems Inc., headquartered at 918 Freeburg Avenue, Belleville, Illinois. Empire acquired the Broilmaster Grill Division in November 2001. Broilmaster has been manufacturing premium gas grills under the brand since 1966 — the original G-1000 model introduced what became the brand's signature stainless steel Bow Tie Burner and the trademarked rib pattern on the cast aluminum lid that still defines the Premium and Super Premium series today.
