Gas Today, Gas and Pellet Tomorrow
Pellet-ready: add real wood-smoke whenever you like.
The headline feature is that this grill is pellet-ready. You start with a fully featured gas grill, and whenever you want to add low and slow wood-pellet smoking, you fit the optional Broil King pellet module and turn it into a true gas and pellet hybrid. Buy the grill you want today and keep the door open to real wood-pellet smoking down the track, without committing to a second appliance now.
Please note: the pellet module kit is sold separately and is not included with the grill.
