The Broil King Baron S490 Pro IR is built for grillers who want a strong everyday gas grill now, with the option to expand what it can do later. On its own, it gives you a solid 4-burner setup with 40,000 BTU from the main burners, a 10,000 BTU infrared side burner for searing, and a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner with rotisserie kit included. That already makes it a very capable grill for weeknight cooking, bigger family meals, and rotisserie work.

What makes the Baron line especially interesting is that it is pellet ready. Broil King offers an OEM Baron Pellet Conversion Kit designed to turn the grill into a dual-fuel setup. Use propane for instant everyday grilling, switch to pellets for smoke flavour and low-and-slow cooking, or combine both for “the best of both worlds.”

That gives the Baron S490 Pro IR a different story than a typical gas grill. It is not just a 4-burner with side and rear burners — it is also part of a platform that can grow into something more versatile if you want pellet capability later. For anyone who likes the idea of buying one grill that can handle fast gas grilling today and has a path toward wood-fired cooking tomorrow, the Baron S490 Pro IR lands in a very practical sweet spot.
