The Crown Pellet 400

The Crown Pellet 400 is a pellet barbecue: you fill the hopper with wood pellets, set the temperature and the barbecue feeds pellets to the fire pot by itself. That lets you smoke low and slow without tending the fire, and you can also grill as usual. The product data lists a cooking area of 65 x 65 cm. A pellet barbecue needs electricity for the feed and the controller, so make sure there is an outdoor socket nearby. Compare the equipment and the current price on the product page, and set it against other pellet barbecues if you are still undecided.

Broil King accessories: what are they for?

Many Broil King accessories are not tied to one barbecue and work on most gas, charcoal and pellet barbecues. The perforated griddle is handy for vegetables, fish and small pieces that would otherwise fall through the grate. In the cast-iron Dutch oven you can make stews, chilli or bread on the barbecue. With the chicken roaster and the chicken wing rack, poultry cooks upright and evenly, and the rib rack stands ribs on their side so more fits on the grate. The digital meat thermometer and the mini thermometers help you cook meat exactly right. A floor mat protects your patio or decking from grease spatter, and the silicone side shelf mat keeps your work surface clean. The drip tray and the Keg diffuser kit are parts for specific Broil King models. Check the product page to see whether an accessory fits your barbecue.
