Verified specifications. The Denali 605 at $739 carries six main burners plus a side burner, 84,000 BTU as stated by the manufacturer, and 900 square inches of total cooking area across 640 primary and 260 secondary, on porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates, with Bluetooth app control at a 65-foot range, a glass viewing window, an LED display, electronic ignition and 700°F in around ten minutes, measuring 65.5 by 24.0 by 46.5 inches at 117.5lb. The Eminence 605 at $1,349 runs six main burners plus an infrared rear burner and a side sear station at 89,000 BTU and 860 square inches, reaching 800°F in ten minutes, with a rotisserie kit and two meat probes included, temperature-sensing knob lighting and die-cast aluminium panels. The Mesa 415BZ from $499 has four main burners plus sear and side burners at 62,000 BTU and 630 square inches, with Broil Zone U-shaped fire holes, a ClearView lid, porcelain cast iron grates and four swivel casters. Note that an independent review reported a lower BTU figure than the manufacturer's for the Denali 605, so treat 84,000 as the manufacturer's stated number.

Warranty is tiered by series. The Eminence series carries ten years on stainless steel burners and fireboxes, five years on flame tamers and cooking grids and five years on most other parts. All other series carry eight years on burners, two years on stainless fireboxes and two years on most other components. Coverage is for replacement of parts that prove defective under normal use and service, with approved claims shipping replacement parts free.

Accessories that have been opened, used or assembled, or are past 30 days, are not returnable.
