Stately Series

Overview

Our Stately Series combines a large grilling area, a stainless-steel exterior with angled lid, and two permanent side shelves.  These grills plug into a standard 120V wall socket (either a 20A outlet or a dedicated 15A outlet).  You may customize this grill with your choice of sand-blasted images, electronic welcome messages, and more.

       

Details
The Stately Series is our most popular grill.  The body and lid are made entirely of 430 stainless steel, the grates are 304 stainless steel, the shelves, handle, and lid-stops are powder-coated galvanneal, and the square-tubing legs are powder-coated steel. Stainless steel, galvanneal, and powdercoat paint are all very durable materials and can withstand harsh outdoor envirnoments; these grills should last a lifetime. You can leave these outside and BBQ, grill, smoke, or bake on them year-round, or grill inside your house with no smoke.  (A greasy grill may produce smoke if you set it above 350 degrees.)  Obviously, you should not use the smoker capability indoors, unless you have a vent.

The Stately Series grills include electronic controls with AutoChef™ technology, dishwasher-safe grates and drip pan, dual cooking levels (you can cook on both levels simultaneously), large 8" wheels, and a smoker-tray attachment.  High quality grill covers are also available.

Room-temperature preheat time is 10-12 minutes for normal cooking temperatures (300 to 350).  Note that preheating is only important when baking; we seldom preheat when grilling and never when smoking.  Because the insulated walls absorb and re-radiate thermal energy, you may briefly open the lid without significant heat loss.

At 480 square inches of grilling area (240 per level), these are the largest 120V grills available -- this is true even with one level!  If you use both levels, you have more grilling area than many 240V grills.


Power Requirements
Our standard Stately grills draw 1750 watts at 120 volts.  An 1850 watt version is also available for those who desire more power (lets hear those grunts!). With either version, you must have a grounded outlet and in most instances, a GFCI outlet. (GFCIs are required in kitchens and outdoor areas by the NEC. This government fact sheet explains the basic idea; additional info is available on Wikipedia.)

The 1850W (or 20 Amp) version can only use a 20A outlet; make sure you have one before specifying it! The 1750W (or 15 Amp) version has a standard 3-prong plug and can use either a 20A outlet or dedicated 15A outlet. The 1850 watt version preheats a bit faster than the 1750 watt version.  During the winter, this can make a difference of several minutes in preheat time; cooking time is not affected.

Although you could plug the 1750W grill into a 15A duplex outlet (and it will likely work), you will not be in compliance with the NEC unless the outlet is dedicated; i.e., there are no other outlets on the same circuit. If you do not have an appropriate outlet, check out our Metro Series, which can use any standard 110 or 120V outlet.  


Options and Accessories
Grill Cover - High quality vinyl cover fits neatly around grill; velcro strip snugs it firmly in place.  Many colors available (charcoal gray is the most popular).
Sandblasting - Artwork of your choice etched into the lid or grill body.  We have many standard designs, or we can create a new one just for you.  
Custom message - Add a unique message to the electronic display (great for gifts!).
Extra Smoker Tray - Although one smoker tray produces a tremendous amount of smoke (as much as we ever want), some prefer yet more smoke.
Locking casters - Maneuver your grill into tight corners and lock it in place. (Adds 2-3 week lead-time.)
Custom paint job - Color of your choice to match home decor. (Requires significant lead-time.)

Shipping and Assembly
The Stately grill comes in two boxes (one for the body and one for legs and shelves).  We use FedEx Ground and ship for free in the continental US (a $120 value); you should have your grill in a week or less, depending on your location.

Assembly is fairly easy and takes an hour or less (20 minutes if you are experienced). You will need basic tools, including a medium or large Philips screwdriver, a 7/16 inch wrench, and a 5/16 inch nut driver.  

If you are in our area or you purchase from a local dealership, no assembly is required.

Purchasing
Please call our sales department at (605) 847-4713 to arrange specifics (such as delivery options and customizations).  You may also purchase from one of our dealers or order online through the Made in South Dakota website.
