Online owner reviews for the Broil King Porta-Chef 320 are also highly positive. At Home Depot, it gets 4.5 out of 5 stars, and Lowe’s customers give it 4.8. Most find it well-made, easy to cook with, and compact enough for easy transportation. One owner who’d had theirs since 2018 wrote on Home Depot, “Great quality, no complaints.” Another said, “small size, big features,” and liked the three sturdy carrying handles. A Californian who used it two or three times a week said it “cooks evenly and is big enough for a family of four to six” when reviewing the grill on Lowe’s.

Complaints are rare, and nobody at Lowe’s gave the grill less than 4 stars. One Home Depot buyer had problems with a burner not lighting and a damaged leg, but replacements were being provided. Consumer Reports noted that the Broil King could flare up when fatty meats were cooked, but the site also said that was true of most grills.

Although most customers support Consumer Reports’ findings, the market for gas grills is very competitive, so it makes sense to look at other models before making a decision. That said, whether you travel a lot and are focused on mobility or you have modest space available and you’re looking for the centerpiece of a DIY outdoor kitchen, including the Broil King Porta-Chef 320 in your considerations, does seem like a good idea.
