This is one of my favorite parts of the Spark - you don’t need to tend to it after you’re done cooking. Once you’re done cooking your meal, all you need to do is turn the dial to the “off” mode and leave it plugged in to let it cool off. The grill gives you so much control you start to feel invincible and need a not-so-gentle reminder that the surface in front of you is in fact heated to 500 degrees. The grates also have a drip tray, which means any food that falls isn’t lost to the fiery pits forever.Īfter a few times using the Spark I’ve become so comfortable cooking over extreme heat I’ve almost burned myself a few times. I’ve found that the heat accurately raises and lowers in accordance with the dial, and if you swipe some avocado or olive oil on the grates before adding food very few things stick.

The cast-iron grates get very hot and evenly distribute heat so there are few “cold” spots on the grill. The Spark Grill is excellent to cook with. Doesn’t have as large of a cooking surface as other grills, but is perfect for households with 2-3 people.Requires connection to an outlet for a power cord.Straightforward to assemble, but still took time and a few tools that didn’t come with the grill.Requires the purchase of Briqs to operate, not just an upfront cost, and they’re more expensive than charcoal.Grill turns off quickly and cools down fast.Briqs are very easy to insert and clean up afterward.Whole grill comes in a cart that makes it easy to move.The thick, porcelain hood keeps the heat contained and looks sleek from the outside.Adjusting temperature before and during cooking is simple.Very easy, and safe, to turn on and light.After that, choose your desired temperature and turn it off when you’re done.

For my Spark Grill review, I received the Chef’s Package which comes with:įor the average user, I’d recommend their Essentials Package, which comes with the grill and a selection of Briqs.

The Spark Grill comes in a few different packages, with differing amounts of Briqs and added accessories like a pizza tray and cutting board.
