Char-Broil Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill - 3 Burner Gas & Coal Barbecue Grill, Black Finish

Product Information

Char-Broil calls this hybrid barbecue 'the solution for everyone who can't decide', and it's easy to see why. It converts from a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than one minute, or you can use both cooking methods at the same time thanks to the two separate grill trays. Size: Think about how many people you’ll be cooking for, how often you’ll use the grill, and which ingredients you plan to cook the most.

Heat Retention: A double-walled stainless steel lid should help the grill maintain its temperature. Hybrid grills are among the most versatile models on the market. They can be used for everything from grilled prosciutto-wrapped asparagus to smoked pulled pork. In terms of both flavor and convenience, they’re difficult to beat. They can also be a good choice if you don’t have enough space to accommodate two grills. On the other hand, you can only fire up one fuel source at a time. That limits the versatility of the grill. It also means you’ll have to prepare fewer ingredients at once, which could be a deal-breaker to some people. This unit differs from the Char-Broil offering in terms of design. The gas and charcoal sections are entirely separate, meaning you can use both at once. This is likely to appeal to grillers who truly want the both of best worlds.Most models will be hot enough to cook on in just a few minutes thanks to the fast-lighting gas mechanism. The first thing you'll notice is that because you're only using the gas burners for 10 minutes at a time, you only need a small, 5KG bottle, which can be stored neatly in the barbeque's base. It should also mean the gas will last much longer than when being used with a typical grill. Are you looking for an inexpensive hybrid grill so you can determine whether it will suit your lifestyle? If so, then this budget offering from BLOSSOMZ could be the unit for you. The quality isn’t the greatest, but it should work well for a season or two. Both gas and charcoal modes cooked excellently, but you get different flavor profiles and cooking experiences depending on which you opt for. If you want to put on a last minute BBQ dinner, just firing up the gas mode takes minutes, and for preserving fuel and achieving that authentic summer alfresco dining experience, the charcoal really is first in class. Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ: what we don't like

If you don’t want to settle for just one grilling method, Char-Broil’s hybrid grills are the perfect solution – for example our Gas2Coal hybrid grill. This impressive product can be converted from a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than 60 seconds, without needing any tools whatsoever! The charcoal is simply ignited with the gas burners, without any charcoal lighter. Two large wheels are affixed to the legs on the left-hand side of the grill. The other legs are stationary. Although the unit weighs in at a hefty 110 pounds, this design makes it more maneuverable, particularly by hybrid grill standards. Warranty My other option would have been to partially dis-assemble the BBQ, and be more precise in fixing in the first place. My fault for not being meticulous and precise in the first place. A 5-year warranty is in place for all the burners, including the one on the side. The lid and firebox are guaranteed for up to 2 years. All the other parts are covered by a 1-year warranty.If you often cook for a crowd, the Royal Gourmet Dual 3-Burner unit is worth a second glance. #2 Char-Griller Dual Function Gas/Charcoal Grill The Gas2Coal comes with a stainless steel tray, equipped with long grooves to accommodate the gas burners. The spaces between the grooves can then be used as compartments for holding charcoal briquettes. There's also the hybrid function. Some hybrid barbecues feel like they're neither gas nor charcoal, but with the Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ I can confidently assure you that you're getting two barbecues for the price of one. First, distribute the briquettes or charcoal evenly in the firebowl. It’s important to ensure that there are no gaps. You can alternatively pile up the charcoal or briquettes in the middle of the cooking grate and then place the food to be barbecued directly over the charcoal. To make lighting the charcoal as easy as possible, you can either use our half-time charcoal starter, a variant on a charcoal chimney, or a standard charcoal lighter. Most barbecue manufacturers will claim that dual-fuel barbecues are the best of both worlds, allowing you to reap the benefits of both gas and charcoal models without having to commit to one type. But there are other things to consider.
