Source: broilking.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by bbqing.com. Re-fetched both pages via fetch-clean.mjs and verified against raw text. Official Broil King US product page (SKU 911470) explicitly confirms: list price $899.00 USD; 400 sq-in primary cook space (635 sq-in total incl. stainless steel warming rack); premium thermometer; construction "Insulated double-walled steel body"; "Rust-resistant porcelain-coated cooking chamber" with "Heavy-duty cast iron cooking grid"; and a "Removable Ash Container." The BBQing.com corroboration lists the same model (SKU 911470) with cast iron cooking grid, Deluxe Accu-Temp thermometer, removable steel ash tray, and insulated dual-wall steel construction, and explicitly groups it among "other kamado-style grills" — supporting type=kamado. Spec conflict noted: BBQing lists an older figure set (280 sq-in primary / 480 sq-in total) while the current manufacturer page states 400 / 635 — the manufacturer (source) figure is used. Cooking-grate diameter and release year are not stated on either fetched page, so both remain null. hinged_cooking_grate=false: the primary grate is reversible/multi-position and the secondary is a swing-out chrome rack; no hinged grate is described. All 6 non-null specKeys verified (6/6).
