The Bottom Line

Lynx has been making some of the highest quality and most expensive gas grills on the market for nearly two decades. Now they have introduced a mid-range line under the Sedona name. Still made very much like a Lynx grill, this version swaps out some of the more expensive parts to bring it in at a much lower price. The construction is very high quality, and there are many extras and customizations available.

Expert Review - Sedona by Lynx 36-Inch

Lynx is known for making some of the best gas grills on the market (like the Lynx Professional 42-Inch Gas Grill). Their cast brass burners are fantastic, as is their overall construction and features.

However, they are very expensive. The Sedona line is made alongside their more expensive grills, but without many of the most expensive features. This grill used stainless steel tubular burners where Lynx uses very heavy cast brass burners. The lynx is larger, has a higher BTU output, but the overall construction between the two is very similar.

This Sedona 36-Inch grill has one infrared ProSear burner and two standard burners. The sear burner that Lynx uses actually has temperature control, so it can operate at 200 degrees F. or 1,100 degrees. The standard stainless steel burners are 18-guage tubular. This model also includes a rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner and the motor, rod and forks are included.

The construction is a combination of 304 and 201 stainless steel. The 201 stainless, of which most the body is made, is similar to 304 though lower in nickel content. This metal is considered equal to 304 in most applications, but may not be as resistant to harsh conditions. I don't believe that the difference will be noticeable, but the long term durability remains to be seen.
