Lion Premium Grills are backed by a comprehensive limited warranty for residential use. The warranty covers different components for different lengths of time:

• Cast stainless steel burners: Lifetime warranty
• Stainless steel frame/housing: Lifetime warranty
• Stainless steel cooking grids: Lifetime warranty
• Stainless steel flame tamers: 3-year warranty
• All other parts and components (valves, knobs, etc.): 1-year warranty

This means Lion will repair or replace those parts if they fail due to defects in workmanship or materials within the covered period. Note: The warranty is for normal residential use only and does not cover grills used commercially. It also excludes cosmetic issues like surface rust or discoloration (unless it causes the part to become unusable). Labor for repairs and shipping of warranty parts are not covered under this warranty.

Yes. Several key components of Lion BBQ grills carry a lifetime warranty. These include all the main cast stainless steel burners, the stainless steel grill body/frame (housing), and the stainless steel cooking grates. In other words, Lion warrants those parts for the life of the grill against defects, which reflects the confidence in the durability and quality of the materials used. Owners can have peace of mind that these critical components are protected for as long as they own the grill.

Lion BBQ grills are constructed from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel, which is a commercial-grade, food-safe stainless steel alloy. This 304 stainless steel (often called 18/8 stainless) contains nickel and chromium that enhance corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor cooking equipment. All major parts of the grill – from the exterior housing to the burners and grates – use this premium stainless steel for longevity and performance.

Using 304 stainless steel offers excellent durability and heat performance. This alloy is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, so the grill can withstand outdoor weather conditions without degrading​. The heavy stainless steel body also retains heat well, helping the grill maintain consistent cooking temperatures even when the hood is opened briefly. Additionally, Lion’s stainless steel cooking grates efficiently radiate heat, which means you get beautiful sear marks and even cooking across the grill surface. Overall, the all-stainless construction not only extends the grill’s lifespan but also contributes to more even heating and reliable high-temperature cooking, which improves your grilling results.

Yes. Lion grills are built with heavy-gauge steel. In fact, they use 16-gauge 304 stainless steel for much of the construction. Sixteen-gauge steel is quite thick for a grill, which makes the entire structure sturdier and more resistant to warping under high heat. This heavy-gauge stainless steel design gives Lion grills a solid feel (some models weigh over 170–200 lbs) and ensures they hold heat inside the grill more effectively. The thick steel panels and firebox contribute to durability and longevity, so your Lion grill can handle years of frequent use without issue.

Lion BBQ grills boast several premium design features that set them apart from ordinary grills. For one, each grill has a double-layered, seamless welded stainless steel hood (grill lid) that provides extra insulation and strength. This double-lined hood helps retain heat and prevents the exterior from discoloring due to high heat. Lions grills also have an extra-large thermometer (temperature gauge) mounted on the hood for easy monitoring of cooking temperatures.

In terms of convenience, Lion grills include interior lighting inside the grill hood and exterior knob LED lights on premium models, so you can see your food clearly when grilling at night. They feature a reliable flame-thrower ignition system (a push-to-turn spark ignition) on each burner, which makes lighting the grill quick and easy. Another thoughtful design element is the full-width slide-out drip pan that catches grease; it can be easily removed from the front for cleaning. All of these engineered details – from the sturdy polished stainless steel exterior to the user-friendly control knobs and ignition – reflect a blend of durability and convenience. Lion grills not only look sleek in an outdoor kitchen, but they are also built with functional design in mind to enhance the grilling experience.

Proper care will keep your Lion grill’s stainless steel looking great and functioning well for the long run. Here are some tips for care and maintenance of the stainless steel:

• Clean regularly: After each cooking session and once the grill has cooled down, remove food debris from the grates (using a grill brush) and wipe down the exterior surfaces with warm soapy water or a gentle stainless steel cleaner. Regular cleaning prevents grease build-up and minimizes the risk of corrosion.

• Use the right cleaners: When deeper cleaning the stainless steel, use a non-abrasive, oil-based stainless steel cleaner or polish. Applying this about once a week helps preserve the metal’s protective chromium oxide layer and maintains the shine. Always scrub or wipe in the direction of the steel’s grain (the subtle brush lines in the stainless); this avoids scratching the surface.

• Avoid harsh tools: Do not use steel wool or hard scrapers on stainless surfaces. Instead, use soft cloths, sponges, or nylon/non-metallic scrubbers. Abrasive tools or highly caustic cleaners can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish and could even remove the protective coating that prevents rust.

• Keep it dry and covered: After cleaning, always dry the stainless steel thoroughly with a cloth. When the grill is not in use (and is fully cool), keep it covered with a good quality grill cover. This protects it from rain, humidity, and other elements that can cause oxidation over time. However, make sure the grill is dry before covering to avoid trapping moisture underneath the cover. While 304 stainless is very rust-resistant, standing water or salt air can still cause surface rust spots if the grill is neglected.

By following these care steps, you’ll maintain the grill’s appearance and performance. Proper maintenance not only keeps your Lion BBQ grill looking like new, but it also ensures that it continues to operate safely and efficiently for many years.
