The Product: 36-Inch Premium Gas Grill

The Lynx 36-inch grill is right in the middle of the Lynx product line, and is an excellent choice for the cook who would like power, features and a good-sized grilling area, but doesn't need the highest-end on biggest grills. As with all the Lynx grills, the L36 series models are good looking (almost completely constructed from stainless steel) and extremely durable. However, it is the smallest Lynx that puts out 75,000 BTUs of power, making it substantially more muscular than its smaller Lynx brethren. While Lynx are expensive and can cost much more than Weber models of similar size, they are better grills and consistently deliver top-quality grilled food. Lynx 36-inch grills can be purchased as either as a built-in or free standing.

As with all Lynx grills, the L36 series models are set apart from other brands by their cast brass burners. Virtually all other grills use hollow steel burners, which retain heat poorly and can cool quite quickly, especially on a windy days, resulting in uneven cooking. Lynx’s solid brass burners retain heat far better, and at the very high heat necessary for good grilling the radiate extremely even and consistent heat. These burners are complemented by ceramic briquettes, which are better than the corrugated steel briquettes found in other grills, and a patented grill hood design, both of which help make the Lynx 36-inch grills cook perfectly even when a strong wind is blowing. Combined with a choice of gas or propane, a multi-speed dual-position rotisserie burner for chicken and roasts, a removable smoker box, and an optional Pro-Sear burner that puts a steakhouse char on porterhouses and t-bones, the Lynx 36-inch grill’s 935 square inches of primary and secondary grill space make it a dream for serious backyard chefs.

Other Lynx Grills:

If a 36-inch grill is too big or you don't need the features it comes with, take a look at the Bobby's best reviews of the Lynx 27-inch and 30-inch models. If you often grill for large groups and the L36 series isn;t big enough for you, you can also see the Lynx 42-inch and 54-inch grills.

Devil's Advocate:

The ceramic briquettes in the Lynx 36-inch grill can get dirty quickly, and if they get covered in fat can catch fire. You will need to clean them after every few uses.
