3 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Evo 10-0002-LP takes a fundamentally different shape than most backyard grills. It uses a round, flat cooking surface 707 square inches across, supported by a freestanding stainless steel frame that measures 40 by 40 by 46 inches and weighs 166 pounds. The design comes from the commercial cooking world and is adapted here for residential use.
Two burners power the unit on propane, though the total BTU output is not published in the available specs. The 40-inch width means you have plenty of room to cook multiple items simultaneously and work different heat zones across the circular surface by controlling each burner independently.
At $5,195 this is a significant investment. It has only 3 reviews, all earning a perfect 5-star average, which is positive but not statistically deep enough to fully assess long-term owner satisfaction.

Propane-fueled with 2 burners over a 707 sq in round cooking surface. No BTU rating is listed. Built entirely from stainless steel. Freestanding at 40 x 40 x 46 inches. Weight is 166 lb. The round flat surface functions like a griddle as well as a traditional grill depending on what accessories are used.
What buyers say
Three reviews, all 5 stars. That is an encouraging early signal, but the sample is too small for broad conclusions. Buyers appear to appreciate the build quality and cooking surface design, which aligns with the premium pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the round cooking surface different from a standard rectangular grill?
The round flat surface allows you to cook directly on the steel as you would a griddle, or use grate inserts depending on the configuration. You can work items toward or away from the center heat source to control doneness, which takes some adjustment if you are used to a traditional grate-over-burner layout.
Is the Evo 10-0002-LP convertible to natural gas?
This listing is for the propane version. Evo typically offers natural gas variants separately. Check with the manufacturer or authorized dealer about conversion options before purchasing if you have a natural gas line available.
How difficult is assembly at 166 pounds?
A grill of this weight will require two people for final positioning. The base and cooking surface ship separately in most cases, and the assembly process involves bolting the cooking unit onto the stand. Plan on having a second person available and a level, hard outdoor surface ready.
