When summer hits, the lure of smoky ribs, sizzling steaks, and grilled veggies is irresistible — and having the right gear can make or break your barbecue game. So when the Boss Grill Kentucky Premium 4 Burner BBQ with Side Burner landed on my patio, I was eager to put it to the test.
First Impressions:
Out of the box, the Kentucky Premium looks the part: sleek stainless steel, robust build, and a confident, professional look that promises serious grilling power. Assembly was surprisingly straightforward (about an hour with decent instructions), though I recommend having a second pair of hands for the bigger pieces.
Performance on the Grill:
With four main burners and a generous cooking area, this grill easily handled a family cookout — burgers, chicken, corn on the cob, even a few skewers — without feeling crowded. The heat output is impressive; it ramps up fast and holds temperature beautifully across the surface. The side burner is a great touch, perfect for simmering sauces or heating up sides without monopolizing kitchen space.
One standout feature is the even heat distribution. Cheaper grills often have hotspots or cool zones, but the Kentucky Premium delivered consistent sear marks across the board. The flame tamers also did a great job reducing flare-ups, so no singed eyebrows here.
Build & Features:
The lid feels solid with a smooth lift, and the integrated temperature gauge is accurate enough for most home grillers. The storage cabinet underneath is roomy — great for stashing tools, a propane tank, or cleaning supplies. The side shelves are sturdy and give plenty of prep space, though they scratch a little easier than I’d like.
Cleanup:
Grates are porcelain-coated, which made post-BBQ cleanup less of a chore. A quick brush while the grill is still warm usually does the trick. The grease tray pulls out smoothly and is generously sized, which helps cut down on mess.
Final Verdict:
The Boss Grill Kentucky Premium 4 Burner BBQ punches above its weight in both performance and looks. It’s perfect for weekend grill warriors who want a reliable, impressive-looking setup without dropping thousands on a luxury brand. Is it flawless? Not quite — the side shelves could be tougher. But overall, it’s a workhorse that’ll make you the hero of every summer gathering.
