This grill isn’t just about power—it’s about flexibility. If you’re planning a built-in outdoor kitchen, you can enhance it with optional doors, drawers, side burners, and a wide array of accessories. Or, convert it into a standalone powerhouse with a matching stainless steel cart that features two doors for storage and two fold-down side shelves—ideal for prep space and utensil organization.
Why this grill stands out
What sets the Loaded Edition 40 NG apart is the thoughtful fusion of high‑end materials, precise heat management, and practical features that reduce the friction of everyday grilling. The five main burners deliver dependable, even heat across the entire 853 sq in cooking area, while the infrared rotisserie burner creates restaurant-quality roasts with a caramelized crust. The dual‑line lid and Retract‑A‑Rack system maximize versatility, letting you swap between direct searing and indirect cooking without swapping equipment.
Who is this ideal for?
- Homeowners building or upgrading a built‑in outdoor kitchen seeking a single, capable grill head that can do it all
- Entertaining enthusiasts who host frequent backyard gatherings and require dependable performance across multiple cooking styles
- Seasoned grill masters who want precise temperature control, robust heat for high‑temp searing, and the option to smoke or bake on the same unit
- Users who value durability and long-term value from a stainless steel, natural gas grill head designed for outdoor longevity
Practical use cases and tips
- Searing and finishing: Preheat all burners for a hot zone, then place steaks or chops directly over the flame to develop a deep crust before finishing in a cooler area.
- Direct grilling and roasting: Use the Multi-Level Cooking Grids to sear vegetables or smaller proteins on the top rack while roasting a larger cut underneath.
- Rotisserie perfection: Attach the 15,000 BTU infrared rotisserie burner to get a juicy center with an even, crisp exterior—great for whole chickens, pork roasts, or prime rib.
- Low‑and‑slow smoking: Create indirect heat zones using heat zone dividers, maintain steady temperatures, and add wood chips or chunks for depth of flavor.
- Baking and warming: The insulated, double‑lined lid helps retain heat for baking breads, pizzas, or casseroles right on the grill.
Maintenance is straightforward: rely on the Easy Slide Drip Tray to catch drippings, keep the interior lights clean for visibility during late-evening cooks, and use the natural gas setup for clean, consistent flame control with less fueling variance.
In short, the Loaded Edition 40 NG is the one grill head that adapts to your outdoor kitchen dreams—whether you’re chasing the precision of a chef’s kitchen, the convenience of a versatile all‑in‑one, or the flexibility to transform your space with optional doors, drawers, and side burners.
