Lynx is a luxury outdoor grill brand known for built-in gas grills with adjustable Trident infrared burners, rotisseries and a color-finish collection. Its grills are made in the USA with globally sourced parts. If you're planning an outdoor kitchen around serious searing, Lynx belongs on your shortlist.
Our database covers the Lynx Professional 42-inch built-in grill with Trident (about $9,559 in stainless and about $10,089 in Obsidian Black). Three main burners total 73,000 BTU: two 25,000 BTU ceramic burners and a 23,000 BTU Trident infrared burner adjustable from 300 to 1,000°F. A dual-position infrared rotisserie (16,000 BTU) has a 3-speed motor. Cooking space is 855 sq in primary and 1,200 in total. Hot-surface ignition, ceramic briquettes, a removable smoker box, a spring-assisted hood, halogen interior lights and blue-lit knobs round it out, all in 304 stainless with smooth welds. Beyond stainless, the color collection includes Obsidian Black, Desert Sage, Limestone, Sierra and Surf. It comes in natural gas or propane.
The warranty is generous on parts: lifetime on the stainless body, ceramic burners and grates for the original purchaser; 5 years on items such as manifolds and gas valves; 2 years on other components; and 1 year of labor.
Who should shop Lynx: outdoor cooks who sear often, entertain large groups and want a grill in a color. Who should skip it: buyers short on space (the 42-inch needs a big island), charcoal and wood fans (see Kalamazoo) and value seekers; the DCS Series 9 is about $8,099 at 36 inches.

Questions about Lynx
Is Lynx a good grill brand?
On paper, it's one of the most capable. The Professional 42 combines a 1,000°F Trident infrared burner with ceramic burners, a dual-position rotisserie and 1,200 sq in of total space. Our editorial ratings, estimated from specs rather than tests, score it a 5 for performance, design and features, and a 3 for value.
What is the Lynx Trident burner?
It's Lynx's adjustable infrared burner. On the Professional 42, the 23,000 BTU Trident burner runs from 300 to 1,000°F, so the same zone can sear at very high heat or cook more gently. The other two main burners are 25,000 BTU ceramic burners, giving 73,000 BTU in total.
What warranty comes with a Lynx grill?
Lynx covers the stainless body, ceramic burners and cooking grates for life for the original purchaser. Warming racks, spit rods, briquette trays, manifolds and gas valves get 5 years, other components 2 years, and labor 1 year. Register the grill and use a qualified installer for the gas line.
