The Lynx 27-inch grill is an excellent choice for the casual outdoor cook who doesn’t grill for large groups or require lots of additional features but does want a well-made, reliable grill that consistently turns out good food. While Lynx grills are more expensive than grills from Weber, the cost is justified by the overall quality and the features included. The Lynx L27 series is available in both built in and free standing models.
A good place to begin with Lynx grills is their cast brass burners. Most grills use hollow steel burners, which do not retain heat well and can be cooled quickly on a windy day, resulting in uneven cooking. Lynx’s cast brass burners retain heat extremely well, especially at the very high heat necessary for good grilling, resulting in consistent heat levels. These burners are complemented by ceramic briquettes, an improvement over the corrugated steel briquettes found in grills of lesser quality, and a patented grill hood design, both of which help make the Lynx 27-inch grill spread its heat evenly and retain that heat even when there is a stiff wind. When these features are combined with the 50,000 BTUs put out by the 27-inch model, a choice of gas or propane, a smoker box and a an optional multi-speed dual-position rotisserie burner for chicken or small roasts, the Lynx 27-inch grill’s 498 square inches of primary grill space make it one of the best small grills on the market. If you don’t grill in quantity but do want quality, this grill proves that bigger is not always better.
