Overview
Cuisinart's CGG-8500 is a freestanding 5-burner gas grill with 460 square inches of cooking area, built around a cast iron and stainless steel body. At 79.4 lb and roughly 52 inches wide, it suits a patio setup rather than tailgating or small balconies.
Five burners on a 460 sq in grate give more independent heat zones than typical 3-burner grills, useful for cooking multiple foods at different temperatures at once. The cast iron and stainless steel mix trades some weight savings for heat retention and a grate surface that sears well once seasoned.
- 5 gas burners
- 460 sq in cooking area
- Cast iron and stainless steel construction
- Freestanding cart design
Who it's for
Fits households with a dedicated outdoor cooking space who want burner-by-burner heat control for grilling different foods together. Less suited to renters or anyone who needs to move the grill often, given its size and near 80 lb weight.
Pros and cons
- Five burners for zone cooking
- 460 sq in handles larger cookouts
- Cast iron grates sear well when seasoned
- 79.4 lb and 52 in wide, not portable
- Cast iron needs rust upkeep
Performance notes
Five burners spread across 460 sq in mean the two end burners can run low for indirect cooking while the center burners sear, a layout that rewards learning which zones run hot. Cast iron grates hold heat well once preheated but need oiling and drying to resist rust, more upkeep than stainless alone.
