24 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
18,000 BTU across three burners means each burner delivers 6,000 BTU on average, which is excellent output per burner. That heat density makes this grill fast to preheat and capable of reaching high temperatures across the 365 sq in surface, though the cooking area itself is mid-size rather than generous.
The metal construction in graphite grey matches the four-burner F425 variant, and the footprint is slightly smaller at 25 x 48.75 x 45.5 in and 99 lb. Freestanding propane with standard tank connection. The design appears aimed at buyers who want high heat in a more compact package.
With 24 reviews and a 3.9-star rating, this is the weakest review profile in the F-series lineup. A 3.9 average is just below the range most buyers consider confidently positive, and 24 reviews is a small sample. The BTU output is a genuine strength, but the rating warrants caution.

Performance notes
Propane fuel with 18,000 BTU across three burners produces a high per-burner output of approximately 6,000 BTU each. This gives aggressive preheat and strong sustained heat across the 365 sq in surface. Metal construction. Freestanding at 99 lb and 25 x 48.75 x 45.5 in. Graphite grey color. No grate material specifics listed beyond general metal.
What buyers say
A 3.9-star average from 24 reviews is a modest and somewhat mixed signal. It suggests some buyers have encountered minor issues or the grill has not fully met expectations. With only 24 reviews, this rating could shift considerably as more buyers weigh in. Shoppers should weigh this against the strong BTU specs and consider the small sample size.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this three-burner model the same price as the four-burner F425?
The two models differ in burner count, cooking area, and weight but share the same 18,000 BTU total output and base construction. The three-burner version concentrates heat across fewer, larger burner zones. Whether the four-burner with more cooking area is a better value at the same price depends on whether you need that extra grate space.
Is 365 sq in enough for a family cookout?
For four people, yes. For a gathering of six or more, you will likely be cooking in batches unless everything is thin-cut or small. 365 sq in fits roughly eight to ten standard burgers at once. Larger items like whole chickens or pork shoulders will take up most of the grate on their own.
What should I look for when comparing three-burner and four-burner grills?
The key factors are cooking area, BTU total, BTU per burner, and price per square inch of cooking surface. A three-burner at the same BTU as a four-burner means more heat per zone, which is good for intense searing. A four-burner gives more independent control zones and typically more grate space, which matters more for large-batch cooking.
