Cook an entire meal outdoors with the Crown S 490. Its four main burners handle the grilling while the 10,000 BTU side burner keeps a sauce or side dish beside you. A 15,000 BTU rear burner and included rotisserie kit let you add spit-roasted meals to the menu.
Flav-R-Wave cooking system
The stainless steel heat system catches drippings beneath the grids and vaporizes them back into the cooking chamber.
Therma-Cast aluminum cookbox
The cast aluminum cooking chamber holds the heat around your food. Use the lid thermometer to monitor the chamber as you adjust the burner controls.
Side shelves for prep and serving
Keep trays and utensils beside the cooking surface, then fold down the shelves when the grill is cool to reclaim space.
Side burner for the rest of dinner
The 10,000 BTU side burner puts a separate cooking station beside the grill for sauces and side dishes.
Rotisserie kit included
A 15,000 BTU rear burner and the included rotisserie kit expand the grill beyond direct grilling.

Common questions
How much cooking space does this grill provide?
The Crown S 490 has 460 sq. in. of primary cooking space over 4 main burners. The warming rack sits above the main surface, so compare primary cooking area when choosing between grill sizes.
Will it fit my patio?
Its assembled width × depth × height is 57 × 24 × 46.5 in.. Leave additional room to open the lid, work beside the shelves and maintain the clearances specified in the manual. Product dimensions do not define safe operating clearance.
Which fuel should I select?
Choose the factory configuration that matches your gas supply. Propane and natural gas have separate SKUs where offered. Only the distributor-listed configuration is offered on this page; do not assume a conversion kit or a gas cylinder is included.
Is a side burner or rotisserie included?
Yes. This Crown S 490 includes a 10,000 BTU side burner, a 15,000 BTU rear burner and a rotisserie kit. These are included equipment rather than separately charged Finishing touches.
How do I care for the cooking grids?
Preheat the grill and clean the cast iron grids using the care method in the manual. Keep the grids seasoned and dry, and clean the grease collection and heat components regularly once the grill is cool. A properly fitted cover helps protect the grill between cooks.
Can I use it as a built-in grill?
This is a complete freestanding grill with its own base and side shelves. Do not remove the base or place it inside cabinetry to create a built-in installation. Choose a purpose-built built-in model when planning an enclosed outdoor kitchen.
Which accessories should I choose?
Start with the exact fitted cover, a food thermometer and suitable cooking tools. Finishing touches lists separately priced additions. Cooking inserts and replacement grids must match the exact model; a shared brand name does not establish fit.
