In comparison tests, inexpensive Brinkmann gas grills aren't quite as good at grilling as more expensive Weber grills, nor are they as convenient to use. Durability is also a question mark. Still, the three-burner Brinkmann ProSeries 8300 grill is recommended in its price class, and owner reviews are favorable. The ProSeries 8300 includes a warming rack and a side burner, along with porcelain-coated, cast-iron cooking grates and easy-start ignition. The Brinkmann's relative quality is reflected in its limited two-year warranty -- shorter than the warranties offered by Weber on its similar.
We found the best evaluation of the Brinkmann ProSeries 8300 gas grill at ConsumerReports.org, which subjects grills to rigorous, unbiased testing. User comments at Walmart.com and HomeDepot.com also add to overall opinion.
