Love this bbq with the ability to start on gas then change to coal. The only downside is it has to be one or the other. You can’t have both unlike other hybrids
Easy to put together and a joy to use. If well looked after it will last a long time.
The regulator didn’t work with a patio gas bottle, but I got a such a bargain I didn’t mind buying a separate one.
Looks really good
Sturdy
Love the gas/charcoal combo
Decent price/value
Neg:
Assembly is a bit tricky but do-able (really need focus)
Why have the gas hoze underneath the extra fire beaken when the instructions say to keep the gas away from it
There is some storage space, but no doors to access it from the front. Makes it difficult to install bbq near to a wall ( you’ll lose access to the backside storage.
You have to order extra pins to hang your utensils
My connector did not connect to the propane bottle – I checked with the gas seller and the connector is the right one for the bottle. Wasn’t able to click it into place 🙁
Great BBQ this used the plate to put charcoal on then lit the gas to heat the coals no faffing with firelighters just turned it on left it and boom white coals ready to cook and the flavour of a wood BBQ on a gas supply. 5stars.
If you study the instructions very closely then you shouldn’t have a problem – I didn’t make a single mistake, which is unusual for me!
Once constructed you realise that this is a solid and quality bit of kit – really well packaged. I was a bit concerned that on the side of the box a square panel had been cut to make a flap, and then Sellotaped back again, as if someone took something out or added something. I needn’t have worried – everything was included, including the standard gas regulator that fits on to the likes of a patio gas propane bottle – of which I have a few.
When trying to fit the gas tubes onto the connections, I found that putting the ends into boiling water for a few minutes really helped pushing them on.
So I really can’t fault it – the best BBQ I’ve owned, and I’ve owned a few.
I’m not the most adept at using charcoal, I have a Webber kettle BBQ, but too much faff. I have used this mainly in charcoal mode. It is so easy, and if you get your timing or temperature wrong, then light it up again. None of these are easy to clean, but this is not bad. you can buy a number of accessories, which improve its versatility. I used to have the gas Infra-red, by the same brand, left out in the open, uncovered, never had any issues in 4 years. This one will be looked after a lot better.
his is a great bbq and well worth the money, easy to assemble as long as you have the know-how to put it together. instructions where easy to follow and took about and hour to put together need 2 people to put bbq on top of stand in assembling it to the stand safely. used a couple of time and is a great piece of kit for the garden and garden parties. I done my research and looked at other bbq and this one in my opinion was the best for maintaining and cleaning, bought a cover for it straight away so doesn’t get weather damaged.cooks really well and has a even distribution of heat throughout bbq and cooks thing at a good temperature, flare up are still there but not as bad as some other bbq’s, also has a good cooking area and for keeping food warm as well.
I did take time to look at the assembly book, it didn’t look very clear to me. Having looked at many Char-Broil YouTube videos, I was trying to find out if you need to remove the 3 silver gas covers before you place in the coal tray. I’ve seen videos that have them remain inside whilst I’ve seen others which have them removed first. The book suggests they should be removed, again its not clear. I decided to leave them in because they protect the gas burners and I want to keep it as clean as possible, this method worked fine, placed a flat layer of coal and lit the gas, it was really hot and smokey in less than a few minutes, turned the gas off and started to cook the food. Please could somebody kindly reply if you know if the silver gas plates should be removed when using the coal tray. Thanks in advance.
The heat seemed evenly spread, I made use of all the BBQ cooking space, all the food was cooked exactly the same so no cool spots, it tasted lovely, smokey and the smell was amazing.
Behind the BBQ there’s a sign that states not to store your gas bottle on the shelf under the BBQ. I have a big bottle that won’t fit anyway, would be nice to have it out of the way but that’s no big deal.
Easy to wheel to my garage at the end of summer. The Char-Broil protective cover for this model is a bit expensive, but probably worth getting it to save the elements ruining the BBQ.
We also used it without the coal tray just using just gas and we regret it, food was still cooked even and tasted amazing, Its very awkward to clean the base. It does a good job of draining the grease into a grease cup, there’s no getting away from the thick burnt oil that burns onto your base. I would therefore recommend always using the coal tray if you like to keep it clean.
Overal I’m happy with my BBQ, food tastes lovely and very easy to get going. If I could change anything, it would be much better to have a base tray that you can slide out periodically to make cleaning easier. Great BBQ all the same for the price, looks nice and would recommend.
Note this version did not come with the bottle opener I’ve seen on other 3 burner models.
Amazing bbq, very good build quality, easy to switch from gas to charcoal and the cast iron grates cook the food that little bit better than standard grills. Absolutely love being able to use the gas to light the coals or just use gas if I can’t be bothered with coal! Highly recommend!!
Sturdy build, flexible outdoor cooking. Best of both worlds, neither of which is a compromise. Highly recommended. Takes a couple of hours to put together. Better than a Weber IMO, looks great.
It’s a great product. The box is incredibly heavy needing at least 2 people to carry. Assembly is straight forward but takes a while to work out the pieces, some are labelled, others not. Make sure there is space to unpack and assemble. It all goes together within a couple of hours, just take it slow and steady and check against the instructions. I managed this on my own but it would have been useful to have someone else to lift and position heavier / larger components. Once done, it’s easy to move around on the wheeled trolley.
Best of both worlds , if you like the taste of charcoal, and easy to clean ! Bit of a two person assembly task ! But take your time it’s worth it ?? No more fire lighters and go juice Brilliant !!!
I love the way you can change the fuel.. nice day home from work early evening, no problem bbq with gas, weekend another beautiful switch to charcoal and wood chips and get all that flavour.. easy to clean grill. Oh and it looks good too
The side burner where you can add a hot plate (cost extra) is well worth it.
You get what you pay for. A sturdy, robust frame. Manufactured from quality materials and a showroom finish. All components are clearly marked so assembly is less fraught. Even the screws, nuts and bolts come in their own sealed and marked packaging. Irritating that the courier left the BBQ in their warehouse for a week before delivering.
Overall I’m very happy with it. It is very sturdy and worth the money
Only the grill comes pre built…this takes a long time to assemble I’d you’re doing it on your own like I did..& I’m technical!…but it’s so worth it…used it almost every night coz I’m a BBQ junkie…easy to clean…I still haven’t put the burner covers in yet coz I love the BBQ tray
