315 owner reviews, more 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
At $1,099.99, the PG305 occupies the premium end of the three-burner propane grill market. The cast iron construction throughout the cooking system is the headline feature, and cast iron grates at this price point are expected to be thick, well-finished, and built for sustained high-heat use. The black and gold color scheme is a notable departure from the stainless silver aesthetic of most grills and is clearly aimed at buyers who want their outdoor setup to make a visual statement.
The grill weighs 135.8 pounds and measures 25.08 by 61.69 by 48.31 inches. That weight indicates a substantial, well-built unit that is not going to shift around on your patio. BTU output is not listed in the available specs, which is unusual at this price tier and worth confirming with the manufacturer before purchasing. Cooking area is also absent from the spec sheet, which is another important data point to verify.
With 315 reviews at 4.5 stars, the PG305 has a meaningful owner base to draw from. This is enough feedback to identify patterns, and the score suggests most owners find the grill worth the investment. For a grill at over $1,000, buyers should still verify warranty coverage and parts availability.

Performance notes
Fuel is propane. The grill uses three burners and a full cast iron construction. Cast iron holds heat more consistently than steel and delivers strong searing capability once the grates are properly heated and seasoned. The unit weighs 135.8 pounds, which adds stability and thermal mass. Dimensions are 25 by 62 by 48 inches. No BTU or cooking area figures were available in the product specs at publication. The black and gold finish uses a coated exterior that should be maintained with a quality grill cover.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the cooking area not listed for a $1,099 grill?
Cooking area data was not included in the available product specs at the time of this review. Before purchasing, it is worth contacting the manufacturer or checking the full product listing directly on Amazon to confirm the actual cooking surface square footage. For a grill at this price, that is an important spec to have.
Is cast iron better than stainless steel for grill grates?
Cast iron grates hold heat longer and distribute it more evenly than stainless steel grates, which translates to better sear marks and more consistent cooking temperatures. The tradeoff is that cast iron requires more maintenance, including regular seasoning and careful drying after cleaning, to prevent surface rust. At the $1,099 price point, proper care is worth the effort to protect the investment.
How does the 135.8-pound weight affect setup and placement?
At 135.8 pounds, the PG305 is a heavy unit that is not meant to be moved frequently. Plan your patio placement before assembly. Two people are recommended for moving it into position. The weight also means the grill stays planted in wind and does not tip easily, which is a practical benefit for outdoor use.
