Welcome to Baby to Child, where we help make life easier for parents navigating the world of baby and family products. Today, we’re diving into a product that might surprise you—it’s not a baby product, but if you’ve ever needed to entertain family or friends for a big cookout, this could be something worth considering for those summer barbecues. We’re talking about the Dyna-Glo DGP397CNN-D Premier 3 Burner Natural Gas Grill. Now, before you get too excited, just a heads-up—this grill requires natural gas to be plumbed to your patio or deck. So, if you’re not set up for that, you might want to consider a propane option instead. Let’s break this down.
The Dyna-Glo DGP397CNN-D is a 3-burner natural gas grill that offers a solid 550 square inches of cooking space, which, by the way, is enough to cook up to 19 burgers—perfect for family gatherings or small parties. The cooking area includes 396 square inches of primary space, which is a good chunk of room for larger cuts of meat or veggies, while the rest is dedicated to a warming rack. The star of the show, though, is its Equiheat technology. This system helps ensure even heat distribution across the cooking surface, thanks to the three stainless steel tube burners that together provide 36,000 BTUs. That means you’re getting consistent heat to every part of your grill. The cast iron grates are another bonus, as they retain heat really well and create those beautiful sear marks that make grilled food look—and taste—great.
Now, I’ve had the chance to give this grill a whirl, and setting it up was straightforward. I had a professional handle the gas line installation, as recommended, but once that was done, it fired up without a hitch. The burners lit quickly, and the heat was distributed evenly, just like Dyna-Glo promised. I tested it with burgers and veggies, and it did a fantastic job—everything cooked quickly and evenly. However, the only downside I noticed was the lack of a side burner, which some other grills in this price range offer. If you plan to do a lot of side cooking or need that extra burner, you might find that limiting.
As far as the pros go, the main standout for me was the consistent heat. The Equiheat technology really does help maintain an even temperature across the grill, which is a big win when you’re cooking multiple things at once. The cast iron grates also performed well, making it easy to get those perfect grill marks. The build quality feels solid—this is a grill that’s built to last. On the flip side, I do wish there was a little more storage space or a side burner for added versatility. Plus, because it requires a natural gas hookup, it’s not as flexible as propane grills that you can take on the go.
Value for money is always a big factor when considering grills. The Dyna-Glo DGP397CNN-D is priced in the mid-range, and for that price, you’re getting a grill that delivers on performance with reliable heat distribution and plenty of space to cook for a crowd. However, if you’re on a budget or don’t have natural gas plumbed to your house, there are more affordable propane options out there that might be better suited to your needs.
When comparing it to other similar models, the Dyna-Glo stands out for its even heat and solid construction. However, grills like the Weber Spirit II offer a propane option and also come with a side burner, which might be a better choice for some. If you’re strictly looking for a natural gas option, this Dyna-Glo is a solid choice.
The build quality here is impressive. The stainless steel burners are durable, and the cast iron grates provide a sturdy surface for your food. After using it several times, there’s no sign of wear or issues with the materials. As for longevity, this grill seems to be built for the long haul, but of course, we’ll need more time to fully assess that.
I didn’t have any direct interaction with Dyna-Glo’s customer service, but I’ve read that their support is generally responsive. I would recommend reaching out to them directly for any setup questions or issues with installation.
If you’re looking for alternatives, something like the Char-Broil Performance 4-Burner Gas Grill might offer a similar cooking area and heat distribution, though it’s typically a bit more affordable. It’s also a great option if you don’t have natural gas available.
So, what’s the final verdict? The Dyna-Glo DGP397CNN-D Premier 3 Burner Natural Gas Grill is a great choice if you have natural gas plumbed to your home and want a reliable, solid grill that can cook up a feast with even heat. It’s perfect for a family BBQ or small gatherings, but if you need portability or a side burner, you might want to look at other options. Overall, it delivers what it promises—consistent heat, plenty of cooking space, and solid performance.
