Iron Works brings its first under-$1000 grills to new topgrill.com Web site.

The Iron Works (Stockbridge, MI) announces its two least expensive grills ever – one at an under-$1000 price points – available through its new http://topgrill.com Web site. While these prices may seem high in the context of mass-produced "tub" grills, Iron Works deluxe stainless steel gas grills generally have prices in the thousands to tens of thousands of dollar range.

The Iron Works Economy Pedestal Series "Web Super Savings Special" deluxe stainless steel gas grill is available for $995 (all prices direct from The Iron Works, including delivery in the Continental US), a savings of more than $500 against standard pricing. It features 3 separate burners delivering a combined 45,000 BTU/hour of cooking power, and boasts all-welded stainless steel construction, including a stainless steel pedestal based pre-drilled for bolt-down mounting or an optional caster kit. It also features large food preparation shelves (17 inches wide on one side, 12 inches on the other). Quantities are limited, and The Iron Works has no current plans to manufacture more of this model once the current inventory has sold.

The Designer Series Web Special cart-mounted grill is available for $1,169, a savings of more than $400. This model features long-life powder colors (Designer Black, Forest Green, Royal Blue, Yellow, Putty or Red) bonded to plated steel, and all-welded construction. There are four burners for a total of 60,000 BTU/hour in cooking power. Convenience features include 17-inch-wide service shelves on both sides, a front spice rack and utensil hooks. The attached cart features large (16-inch diameter) bicycle-style tires plus heavy-duty casters and a convenient bottom shelf. The Iron Works is also including several non-standard options in this promotional package – a free smoker box, free fish screen, free veggie screen, and free freight to any Continental US location.

Both grills have a great deal in common, starting with the sleek, contemporary styling of Iron Works "Top Grill" designs. Each offers a cooking area that’s 24 inches wide by 23 inches deep, with hassle-free stainless steel flare control cooking grates, inverted-V cast steel radiants and unique I-bar side-fired burners. Each is available in versions for liquid propane (LPG) or natural gas.

Like all Iron Works grills, they incorporate proprietary Roto Convection air flow engineering for extremely even cooking (by moving the air instead of the food) without the bother or mess of a rotisserie. And like all Iron Works Top Grills, they are delivered fully assembled and protected by a 5-year "nose to toes" warranty.

The Iron Works makes some of the most expensive gas grills on the market, starting at just over $1,000 and reaching into the tens of thousands. They use welded stainless steel construction, offer more burners than any other brand, offer more cooking area than any other brand, and offer the biggest side shelves in the industry. They offer the only copper grills and the only titanium grates. Particulars on their grills are available from their http://topgrill.com or http://ironworks-gasgrills.com Web sites.
