A modular system in a ready-made configuration
At Burnhard, GRANT is not a single model but a modular system. In the middle there is always a firebox with a base cabinet, and modules are added on the left and right which, according to the manufacturer, can also be added later via the EasyConnect gas distribution system. So that nobody has to start from zero, Burnhard sells fixed preconfigurations; the largest is called Station and starts at €4,099 in the manufacturer’s shop.
The Pro is the tier where both sides are already fitted. The delivery includes two Universal Frames, a single cabinet with three drawers, a single cabinet with one door and a shelf, a side hob and an acacia wood chopping board that comes with a GN food container set of 2.5 and 6.5 litres. In the product photo, the board lies on the left over the drawer cabinet, and the right-hand module carries a flat cover.
At Burnhard, this configuration with cast iron grates costs approx. €2,849 in the Burnhard shop (on 21.10.2026: €2,849.00). The manufacturer is Burnhard GmbH in Düsseldorf, and according to the product page, GRANT is developed in Germany. If you want to see the kitchen assembled before buying: Burnhard invites you to its showroom in Düsseldorf.
Burners, grilling area, material and dimensions
Under the hood work four stainless steel tube burners at 3.5 kW each, each beneath a W-Shape Flavor Bar. At the back sits an infrared ceramic rear burner at 3.7 kW, and the side hob adds 2.8 kW. Added up, that gives the 20.5 kW that Burnhard states as total output. In the same performance data, however, there is a second line, “Total 41 kW”, without any explanation. It does not fit with the individual values. We calculate with 20.5 kW.
Ignition is by push button, which Burnhard calls Kickstarter ignition. The manual describes a piezo ignition per burner: press the control knob, wait three seconds, keep turning until it clicks. If that does not work, you repeat it three to four times. If the burner still does not ignite after that, the control goes to OFF, the bottle valve is closed, and you wait five minutes.
For the grilling area, the product page lists two values side by side: “Main grilling area 75 × 44 cm” and “Grilling area of the main firebox 72 × 41.5 cm”. How the two differ remains unclear. Burnhard does not publish an area in square centimetres; the approx. 3,300 cm² in our data sheet is calculated from 75 times 44 cm and is not a manufacturer figure. Above it hang two warming racks of 36 × 18.4 cm each, whose number and height you choose freely according to the manual.
The firebox is double-walled stainless steel, the lid sides are die-cast aluminium, and the body is galvanised steel with black powder coating. The firebox alone weighs approx. 38 kg. Assembled, the Pro is 168 cm wide and 55 cm deep. The worktop sits at a height of 97 cm; with the lid closed the grill reaches 125 cm, with it open 156 cm; under a canopy, that is the figure that matters.
Under the firebox sits a base cabinet with two doors and a shelf. The promotional text on the same page promises that you could alternatively configure it with one door and three soft-close drawers. In the shop, however, the Pro only lets you choose the grate material, and the delivery contents list two doors; that is what we would count on. According to the delivery contents, the following are also included: solid rubber castors with locking brakes, a grease tray, a gas bottle holder, a control box with power supply cable and the pre-assembled gas hose with pressure regulator. A cover is not included.
In detail: three measuring points and a rear burner with conditions
According to Burnhard, the display measures at three points. The permanently installed air-temperature probe records the cooking chamber, directly above the grilling surface between the warming racks. Two probes for core temperature are included, up to four can be connected, and according to the manual they are heat-resistant up to 380 °C. For the third level, the heat at the burners, you need burner probes, which Burnhard sells in the shop as a 3-piece set for €89.90 and as a 6-piece set for €179.00.
What the manual says about the cooking chamber display itself is revealing. Grilling recipes are generally written for grills with a lid thermometer, it says, and their reading tends to be higher than the actual measured temperature that the GRANT sensor shows. That is why the display contains software that calculates a virtual lid temperature. From the factory you see the real measured value; you switch on the simulated reading by pressing both buttons of the display at the same time for five seconds. The cooking chamber temperature is only reliable after about 15 minutes of operation, and as the grilling range the manual recommends 250 to 370 °C.
Our assessment: if you grill by recipe, you should know which of the two readings is currently running. If a recipe says 200 °C by lid thermometer and you set the GRANT to 200 °C in factory mode, you are grilling hotter than the recipe intends. Burnhard does not work out how big the gap is.
The rear burner comes with conditions. The product page says it should not run at the same time as the main burners or the infrared ceramic burner in the grilling chamber. The manual gives overheating and damage as the reason and adds: not in strong wind, and not when greasy food is on the warming racks at the same time. It is intended, for example, for the rotisserie. The warranty terms count a rotisserie spit as configurator accessories.
For direct and indirect zones, that leaves the four tube burners. The manual describes control via dials between HI and LO, and in the product photo five dials sit in the front. If only one side is running, the food sits on the other without a flame underneath; how the principle works is explained in our guide to direct and indirect heat. With the FitnFire system you swap the burners without tools, and according to Burnhard, stainless steel tube, cast and infrared ceramic burners can be combined.
Cast iron or stainless steel: are the stainless steel grates worth it?
We would choose cast iron if you maintain grates by hand anyway, and stainless steel if they are to go in the dishwasher. In the Burnhard shop, the Pro with stainless steel grates costs €3,049, so €200 more than with cast iron. Otherwise nothing changes in the equipment.
According to the manual, the cast grates are enamelled. The layer is meant to protect against surface rust and stop food from sticking to the grate. Burnhard recommends maintaining them by hand and treating them with oil, brushing them after burning off and re-oiling them, and taking them indoors over the winter season. On brushes, the manual distinguishes: brass brushes are very soft and protect the patina, stainless steel brushes are more effective but can remove the patina if you use too much force. The warranty terms exclude damage to the enamel of the cast grates.
You may brush stainless steel grates harder, just not with steel wool, because leftover steel particles attract surface rust. And they may go in the dishwasher.
A contradiction on the side: the product FAQ says the grilling grates are made of rust-resistant stainless steel. For the basic version at €2,849, that is not correct; it comes with cast iron grates.
Gas and location according to the manual
The Pro runs on butane (G30) or propane (G31). Natural gas is ruled out, as are charcoal, briquettes and lava stones. The pressure regulator on the pre-assembled hose is fixed and CE-approved to DIN EN 16129 and DIN EN 16436-1 (standards that apply in Germany and the EU), with a maximum of 1.5 kg/h and 50 mbar operating pressure; the hose is at most 1.5 m long. You replace both after 10 years at the latest, even without visible damage, and the gas system should be inspected at least once a year. The manual gives the spare part number inconsistently, once 946212, once 946571; ask customer service before ordering.
The manual describes the leak test in four steps. Spray all seals with leak detection spray or brush them with soapy water in a ratio of 1 part soap to 3 parts water. Open the bottle valve; small bubbles appear at leaking points. Close the valve again. Retighten the nuts on both connection sides by hand and check again; if bubbles keep rising, close the valve and go to a specialist dealer. You are meant to repeat this after every bottle change. You lay the hose so that it does not touch the firebox and does not run under the grease tray. More on bottle sizes and swapping is in our guide to the gas bottle for the grill.
On the location: the grill may only run outdoors, never in a building, a garage or any other enclosed area. It needs a minimum clearance of 1.5 m to all combustible materials and 7.5 m to all flammable liquids, a level, stable and fireproof surface and a spot sheltered from the wind. It is levelled using the height-adjustable castors and a spirit level, secured with the locking brakes before every use, and not moved during operation. It is never lit with the lid closed.
These three alternatives are worth a look
| Model | The difference | Price | Our rating | Choose this if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BURNHARD GRANT Pro (this one) | same firebox as the Base, cabinets and side hob from the factory | approx. €2,849 | 8.8 | you want to buy the whole outdoor kitchen at once |
| BURNHARD GRANT Base | same firebox without side modules | approx. €1,499 | 8.5 | you want to enter the GRANT system and add to it later |
| Broil King Regal 590 | gas grill cart from another manufacturer, no Click-In system | approx. €1,649 | 9.4 | you want a large grill and do not need a cabinet kitchen |
| Napoleon Prestige 665 Connected | ready-made large grill, not built modularly | approx. €2,499 | 9.3 | you want to stay in a similar budget and can do without modules |
The prices of the alternatives are guide values from our price boxes, as of September 2026; the Pro’s price comes from the Burnhard shop. The rating is our editorial assessment from the data comparison, not a measurement result; technical details of the three alternatives are in their own reviews.
When the GRANT Pro fits and when another grill does
Start with space. If there is something combustible to the left and right, such as a wooden wall or a hedge, the 1.5 m from the manual means you need around 4.7 m of free width (1.68 m plus twice 1.5 m). On many terraced-house patios, that is already the end of the consideration.
Then the question of whether you will really use the side hob, drawers and chopping board. If not, with the GRANT Base you get the same firebox for approx. €1,499 according to our price box, and add what is missing later. The Click-In modules are available individually; a Click-In side hob is listed in the Burnhard shop at €149.00.
The budget involves more than the grill. A gas bottle is not included, only the holder. The cover set costs €199.00 in the Burnhard shop; together with the Pro in cast iron, that comes to €3,048. Burner probes and stainless steel grates would be further items.
If you mainly want a lot of grill for the money, our comparison lands on the Broil King Regal 590: it costs approx. €1,649 according to our price box (the Pro approx. €2,849) and has the higher overall rating at 9.4. The Napoleon Prestige 665 Connected is in the price box at approx. €2,499 and is likewise rated higher at 9.3. What then speaks for the Pro is mainly the modular system with cabinets and hob from the factory. If you are torn between other gas grills, you will find them all in our gas grills category, or narrow them down with the grill finder.
Cleaning, warranty and open points
According to the manual, you should clean the grill after every use, first removing the gas bottle, disconnecting the plug-in power supply, taking off any power bank and letting the grill cool down. Flammable cleaning agents are off limits. To burn off, all burners except the rear burner run on HI, with the lid closed for 15 to 30 minutes, until no more smoke rises. You pull out the grease tray and dispose of the grease in an environmentally responsible way; aluminium foil or an aluminium tray have no place on the grease drip plate and grease tray, because food residues collect there and can ignite. According to Burnhard, the firebox tray can be taken apart into individual pieces.
You wipe stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth or rinse them hot, with a mild detergent if needed, rinse with water, let them dry completely and then treat them with stainless steel care product. You do not use a microfibre cloth for this, as it can scratch the material. Residues of the stainless steel cleaner must be completely gone before the next grilling session. The ceramic stone of the rear burner does not need cleaning: you burn it clean for 15 to 30 minutes on HI, with the main burners off, and its cover may go in the dishwasher. Every 3 to 4 months or after long periods of disuse, a thorough clean is due, during which you also check the insect and spider guard on the venturi tube. Our guide cleaning a gas grill shows the process step by step.
The warranty runs 10 years from the purchase date, without registration, and covers material and workmanship defects; whether Burnhard repairs, sends spare parts or replaces is up to Burnhard. According to the warranty terms, the following are excluded: the burners (stainless steel tube burners, infrared ceramic burner FitnFire System, infrared ceramic burner for rear burner, Click-In XXL infrared ceramic burner), the flame tamers as a wear part, and the electronic components (display and cable unit, cooking chamber temperature sensor, probes, control unit, plug-in power supply, USB-C connection and cable unit). Configurator accessories are also excluded, even if GRANT is in their name. Also excluded are, among other things, surface rust, cosmetic defects, storm damage and damage by rodents such as martens to the gas hoses. By our reading, the warranty thus mainly covers firebox, body and modules, not the parts most likely to wear. In addition, the statutory warranty of 2 years applies.
What Burnhard does not state, at a glance: the total weight of the Pro, gas consumption per burner or overall, a maximum temperature in the cooking chamber, a heat-up time to a particular temperature, the material of the side hob, cover and flavor bars, weight and dimensions of the side cabinets, the output of the side hob separately for butane and propane, a number of people, the country of production, the market year and how long spare parts remain available.
Who is it for?
For people with their own garden or a large terrace who have a permanent spot for an outdoor kitchen and want the modules from the start. For commercial use, the Pro is the wrong choice: the manual states explicitly that it is not intended for commercial use, so it is out for caterers or a restaurant terrace.
It also fits poorly if the grill is to change location often. Before every move, according to the manual, it must be switched off, the bottle valve closed and the bottle unscrewed from the hose, and the castors must go back to their starting position. Burnhard intends assembly by two people on a mat, with safety gloves, because some edges are sharp. If the kitchen turns out not to fit after all, a 30-day right of return applies when buying from the manufacturer’s shop.
