It packs restaurant-quality searing power into a compact design built to fit any lifestyle.

With a commitment to ease and efficiency, the new grills feature a reimagined assembly process that allows users to go from box to burger in under 30 minutes.

The Mesa II Series introduces several innovations to the entry-level category:

• DIY Pegboard System: The "pegboard" design allows users to customize their storage with hooks, trash bins, and paper towel holders, maximizing utility in small spaces.
• Built to Last: Engineered for durability, the series features a stainless-steel lid, control panel, and door, complemented by cast aluminum side panels for superior rust resistance.
• Zoned Heat Control: The 4-burner system offers versatile dual-zone cooking: two classic tube burners on the left for stable, even heat (8,500 BTU each), and two high-power burners on the right for intense searing (10,000 BTU each).
