The Broil King Baron 490 Pro Shadow is a strong fit for someone who wants the core Baron grilling platform, but with more flexibility built in from day one. You still get the proven Broil King setup of four stainless Dual-Tube™ burners, stainless steel cooking grids, and the Flav-R-Wave™ cooking system, but the added side burner and rear rotisserie burner make it a much more complete backyard cooking package.
What makes the newer Baron lineup more interesting is that it is not boxed into being “just” a gas grill. Broil King’s current Baron collection clearly positions the platform as pellet ready, with a dedicated 4 Burner Baron Pellet Conversion Kit available to convert the grill into a dual-fuel setup. That means the Baron 490 Pro Shadow gives you fast, familiar gas grilling now, with the option to add wood-fired cooking later without replacing the whole grill.
For anyone looking for a mid-range gas grill with more built-in versatility, the Baron 490 Pro Shadow lands in a very useful spot: more cooking options than the 420, a cleaner look than a lot of stainless-heavy grills, and enough future flexibility to make the pellet-ready platform genuinely matter.
Putting the warmth in winter, the sizzle in summer, and the pizzazz in patios!.
