overview
Introducing Elite Edition 26, the stainless gas grill head crafted for serious outdoor cooks who demand heat, versatility, and enduring durability. Designed to elevate built-in island kitchens or standalone grilling setups, this high-performance grill head blends restaurant-grade features with home-friendly practicality.
Powerful, precise heating for perfect results
Two Bow Tie burners deliver 18,000 BTU each, enabling rapid searing and controlled simmering. With up to 606 square inches of total cooking area (including a 462 square inch primary grill area), you can manage multiple dishes at once—from high-heat steaks to indirect slow-roasted favorites. The dual-burner configuration makes it easy to establish distinct heat zones for different cooking tasks without swapping devices.
engineered for reliability and ease
Built to last, Elite Edition 26 features 304 stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and stands up to the weather year after year. A double lined, easy-open lid keeps heat contained for efficient cooking, while interior cooking lights and control knob lights help you monitor progress after dusk without lifting the lid. The Flame Thrower Ignition ensures quick, dependable starts, even after long pauses between cooks.
Smart design for flavor and cleanup
- Retract-A-Rack multi-level cooking grids give you flexible stacking and precise heat distribution for multi-tier cooking.
- Flare Control Vaporizer minimizes flare-ups, helping you achieve juicy, evenly cooked results without constant babysitting.
- Heat Zone Dividers isolate hot and cooler zones for accurate temperature control across the grate.
- Easy Slide Drip Tray channels grease away for simple cleanup and maintenance.
- Interior Cooking Lights and Control Knob Lights extend grilling into evening sessions with clear visibility.
Flexible installation and customization
Elite Edition 26 is designed to be the centerpiece of a built-in island kitchen. Tailor your setup with a wide range of optional doors, drawers, side burners, and accessories to create a seamless, integrated outdoor cooking space. Prefer a portable look? Pair it with a matching stainless steel cart, featuring two doors for secure storage and two fold-down side shelves for extra workspace—turning a high-performance grill head into a practical standalone unit.
Who should consider Elite Edition 26?
Ideal for backyard chefs who crave robust heating, durable construction, and expansive cooking capacity in a compact footprint. Perfect for entertaining small to mid-sized groups, outdoor chefs who enjoy precise heat management, and homeowners investing in a durable, long-lasting outdoor kitchen centerpiece.
