TAINO BRANDO 6+1 Gasgrill

Six knobs for the grate, a seventh for the pot

The TAINO BRANDO 6+1 is a gas grill cart with six main burners under one hood and a side burner in the right side table. In the product photo, seven control knobs sit in the front panel, six for the main burners and one for the cooking point. It costs approx. €190 according to our price box (Amazon page on 21.10.2026: €189.90). You can find the other carts of this type in our gas grill overview.

The brand belongs to Clic-Trade GmbH from Cologne. By its own account, TAINO went online in 2015 and still sells only over the internet; production is at partners in China, designed in Germany. In the manufacturer’s shop the grill carries item number 93206, and exactly this model number also appears in the Amazon catalogue. The manual is dated 10/2025, and the shop listing dates from 12.01.2026. So it is a recent model.

Our basis is the product page at TAINO and the 68-page assembly and operating manual. We did not have the grill itself here, and we did not grill anything on it. What follows is manufacturer data, our calculations with it and our assessment.

Burners, grates, hood: what TAINO states

The six main burners are made of stainless steel. Each has its own control, and according to the product page each can be lit and adjusted individually and continuously.

Ignition is by piezo, and the manual specifies a sequence. First comes the burner marked with the ignition symbol, then the neighbours to the left and right, one after the other. To do this, you push the knob in and turn it anticlockwise to HI. If the flame does not catch, you set all knobs to off and try again after 5 minutes. If the piezo ignition fails completely, you light the grill with a long-reach lighter or a very long match with the control at HI. To switch off, you first close the gas valve on the bottle and only then turn all knobs to OFF.

The cooking grate measures approx. 77 x 34 cm, which is around 2,618 cm². Above it hangs a warming rack of approx. 72.5 x 15.6 cm, arithmetically around 1,131 cm². Both are porcelain-coated. As the material, TAINO names powder-coated steel in black, without saying which parts that refers to. Under the burners sits a removable grease tray, and the hood has a rotisserie mount.

According to the parts list, the thermometer sits in the front of the lid and has an analogue display. TAINO explains in its FAQ that with an analogue display the outside temperature also plays a role; on a cold grill the needle therefore sits at roughly ambient temperature. As a general rule for lid thermometers: they measure the air at the top under the hood, not the temperature at grate level.

In detail: 15.5 kW spread across seven burners

The manual’s data table states 15.5 kW total output. The side burner is included in that, and TAINO does not break down how the total is split between the main burners and the cooking point.

A clue comes from the smaller TAINO Brando 4+1 from the same range. For it, the manual gives 11.4 kW. The two additional main burners of the 6+1 therefore account for a difference of 4.1 kW, by our calculation a good 2 kW per burner. That is only reliable if the side burner and burner design are identical in both models, and none of the documents confirms that.

The kW figure does not tell you how hot the grate gets anyway. The rated output describes how much gas the burners can burn at most. How much of that heat reaches the food depends on the hood, the burner covers and the wind.

For grilling in zones, six burners side by side are convenient. Arithmetically, each one gets just under 13 cm of grate width. For indirect cooking, you can, for example, run the two outer burners and put the roast in the middle over the switched-off ones. Or you heat the left half fully and leave the right half off, as a parking spot for everything that is already done. Our guide to direct and indirect heat explains how the principle works.

The manual itself sets one limit: at the highest output, the lid must not stay closed for longer than 10 minutes during operation. The rule expressly refers to the highest output. Anyone who sets all six burners to HI and keeps the hood closed for a long time to heat the cooking chamber to the maximum is therefore acting against the manual.

Where TAINO contradicts itself, and what stays open

Five points in the documents do not fit together.

First, the number of burners. The specification, title and parts list with its six burner covers all speak of six main burners. In the description text of the same product page, however, it says “Four main burners made of robust stainless steel”. We think six is correct; the photo shows seven knobs, so six plus the cooking point. Our guess is that the sentence comes from the text for the 4+1.

Second, the grate. The product page writes “Grillrost (3-tlg.)” (cooking grate, 3 pieces), while the parts list in the manual lists the cooking grate twice under item 9. Which number is right is only shown by the box.

Third, the grate material. The cleaning chapter talks about cast grates that you should turn over for stubborn dirt. According to the product page, the installed grate is porcelain-coated; cast iron is only available as a separate grate set. The cast-iron tips may therefore belong to the accessory and not to the standard grate.

Fourth, the gas bottle. In the connection section, step 2 reads: “Place the gas bottle in the cart.” Elsewhere, the same manual requires the bottle to be placed beside the grill with at least 60 cm distance from the side burner. We would stick to the stricter requirement and place the bottle to the left of the cart, that is, on the side facing away from the side burner. Whether a bottle would even fit in the cabinet with its two doors remains open anyway, because TAINO gives no interior dimensions. Which bottle sizes exist and what to look for when buying is covered in our guide to the gas bottle for the grill.

Fifth, the hood. The 10-minute limit from the section above clashes with the cleaning instructions, which provide for longer times with the lid closed for burning off. More on this below under care.

On top of that come small things: the manual and product page give two different service numbers (+49 2203 94 79 300 and 0221 292 189 09) and two Cologne addresses.

The following points are not answered at all in the product page and manual: how many kW the individual main burners and the side burner have, how hot the grill gets at most in operation and how long it takes to heat up, what material the grate is made of under the coating and what the lid, combustion chamber and burner covers are made of, whether the lid is double-walled, what measuring range the thermometer has, how long a suitable hose should be, what design the piezo ignition has and whether it needs a battery, how large and heavy the package is and what individual spare parts cost.

What does the BRANDO 6+1 cost before the first flame burns?

More than approx. €190. The pressure regulator and hose are not included, the gas bottle certainly is not, and a cover will sooner or later be needed for a grill made of powder-coated steel that stands outdoors. You also need to supply the tools for assembly yourself.

The manual highlights the missing regulator in capital letters: a gas pressure regulator with hose is not included in the delivery and must be bought separately. On the product page, the scope of delivery consists of exactly one line, “1x BRANDO 6+1 Gasgrill”. Connection is made with a flexible hose and a suitable low-pressure regulator, and only with hoses with a screw connection. Which pressure rating you need in Germany is covered below in the questions.

TAINO lists the matching cover in its own shop under item no. 98884, designated for BRANDO 4+1, BRANDO 6+1, RED 4+1, RED 6+1 and YAMARA 4+2. It can only protect if it also comes off in between: if the cover stays on, it holds the moisture, according to the TAINO FAQ, and corrosion begins. As a rule, you only pull a cover on once the grill has cooled down.

As tools, the manual recommends a hammer, Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers, a tape measure and an angle wrench, none of it included. If you want to use the rotisserie mount, you buy the “Drehspieß RED 4+1/6+1” (rotisserie spit) from TAINO’s shop.

Assembly, footprint and gas connection

Assembled, the grill measures approx. 141 x 52 x 109 cm (width, depth, height). If you fold down the left side table, approx. 127.5 cm of width remains. The working height is approx. 85 cm, the weight approx. 30 kg. In the photo, two plastic wheels with a diameter of 15 cm sit on the right under the side burner, with two feet on the left. To move it, you therefore lift the left side and roll it on the wheels.

More important than the footprint are the clearances. TAINO recommends at least 0.5 to 1.0 metres to combustible materials and requires a stable, heat-resistant surface where nothing wobbles or tips over, away from wooden fences and overhanging branches. The manual rules out garages and enclosed spaces, as well as tents, caravans, motorhomes and boats. It also gives the reason: carbon monoxide, including during lighting, smouldering and cooling down.

You may only move the grill when it has cooled down and with no bottle connected. After every change of location, according to the manual even after moving it just a few metres, you check that the burner tubes are still fully seated on the gas jets.

For assembly, TAINO advises at least two people, gloves and a clear area of 2 x 2 metres, and you tighten the screws only at the end. The parts list has 46 items, with 56 M6x12 screws among the fasteners alone. If a part is missing or damaged, you should not begin assembly at all but contact customer service and keep the packaging.

The manual describes the gas connection in four steps. Because of the risk of explosion, they belong outdoors and on a cooled-down appliance:

1. Make sure the bottle valve is closed, remove the protective caps from the gas connections and carefully tighten the union nut on the grill with a spanner.
2. Place the gas bottle in the cart (for the contradiction with the 60 cm clearance, see above).
3. Screw the union nut of the gas hose onto the fitting of the pressure regulator and tighten it with a spanner.
4. Screw the pressure regulator onto the bottle, without tools, so that the seal stays intact.

Before first use, TAINO recommends a leak test. For this, the grill must be fully assembled and the gas container full; no smoking, and open flames are taboo.

1. Mix soapy water from one third soap and two thirds water, and have a brush or cloth ready.
2. Set the gas control to OFF.
3. Connect the grill to the gas bottle with the pressure regulator.
4. Open the bottle valve.
5. Apply the soapy water to all connections and hoses. If bubbles form, you have found a leak.
6. Close the valve of the gas container.
7. Tighten the leaking fittings.
8. Repeat the test until no more bubbles form.
9. After the test, close the bottle valve.

As long as there is a leak, the grill stays off. According to the manual, you check the regulator and hoses before every use and replace them if they are excessively worn before you put the grill back into operation.

Cleaning, care and emergencies

The basic rule is in capital letters: remove all grease residues after every use to avoid fires. Cleaning is done on a cooled-down grill with the gas turned off. Sharp objects and aggressive, abrasive or flammable cleaning agents are taboo.

For the grate and interior, the manual names two ways. In the first, after grilling you let each burner run for another approx. 15 to 20 minutes without food and then brush it off. In the second, you burn off at the highest setting with the lid closed for 10 to 20 minutes until no more smoke rises, and you never leave the grill unattended while doing so. From minute eleven, this clashes with the 10-minute rule. We would open the lid briefly after 10 minutes.

You remove residues with a brush, scraper or cleaning pad, wipe clean with mild soapy water, rinse clearly and dry. You can soak the grate and grease collector in a mild soapy water solution if needed, rinse them and dry them. Against flash rust, you rub the grate with heat-resistant oil such as rapeseed or peanut oil. For brushing, the manual names a long-handled stainless steel brush, which you use with gloves. This passage, however, belongs to the chapter on cast grates, and it is not clear from it whether TAINO also means the brush for the porcelain coating. We would be careful on the standard grate.

If something flakes off inside the lid, it is not paint according to the manual but baked-on grease that has turned to carbon. Strong, hot soapy water helps against this; TAINO prohibits oven cleaner. You clean the exterior surfaces with a mild cleaning agent or baking powder in hot water.

The grill should be serviced every 90 days, but at least once a year, and additionally once a year by a competent technician from the local gas supplier. You clean blocked burner connections with drain cleaner or wire, without enlarging burner or jet openings. For a small flame or flashback, the troubleshooting table lists blockages in burners, jets or hoses, as well as wind. After longer storage, you should specifically check for gas leaks and for blockages in the burner; the manual names insects as an example.

For a fire, TAINO distinguishes two situations. If grease burns in the drip tray, you switch off the grill, turn off the gas supply and use a suitable extinguishing agent, never water. If it burns at the burners, you close the valve on the gas bottle, switch off the burners and close the lid to smother the fire. You should keep a fire extinguisher ready; which size is suitable is something a specialist should tell you.

For the winter break, you let the grill cool down, disconnect the gas bottle, clean the grill and store it dry and protected from dust. The bottle stays upright outdoors, out of reach of children.

These three alternatives are worth a look

The prices are guide values from our price boxes and change. The rating is our editorial assessment based on the manufacturer data.

When the BRANDO 6+1 fits and when another one does

It fits if you regularly grill for a larger group in the garden, like working with one hot and one switched-off zone, and your budget ends at approx. €190. We would plan the side burner for a sauce, a pan of vegetables or a pot of corn on the cob, not as a second grilling surface.

If you mostly grill for two or four, the smaller TAINO Brando 4+1 is enough. It costs approx. €160 (this one: approx. €190), and you save floor space.

The Outsunny 6+1 costs approx. €270 (this one: approx. €190) with the same burner layout; its listing partly states its 2,600 cm² including the warming rack, so a direct area comparison is not clean. In return, its listing gives an output per burner. We would only pay the extra if that very figure matters to you.

If you grill for many very often, want to use a rear burner for the rotisserie and are happy to spend more than €1,000, the Broil King Regal 590 is the right choice. It does, however, cost approx. €1,449 more, a good eight times as much.

We would not buy the BRANDO 6+1 for a narrow balcony. Even folded down it needs almost 1.3 m of width, plus the clearance to anything that can burn. If none of the four carts fits, the Grill Finder helps you search for another.

And if children are to be involved at the grate, it is the wrong choice. The manual prohibits operation by children as well as by people with limited abilities, and anyone who operates the grill must be instructed beforehand. It is intended exclusively for private use and only for heating, grilling and browning food outdoors.
