Char-Broil Performance Series Convective 4-Burner with Side Burner Cart Propane Gas Stainless Steel Grill - 463377319

Lo recomiendo.

The last grill we had was a Char-Broil unit my wife and I received as a wedding gift in 2000. That unit served us well for over a decade. We abused it, didn't cover it and let it sit out in the elements. So, 10+ years for a freebie was great. Fast forward to 2022 and the Mrs. has been bugging me for a new grill. So, I was dragging my feet and ended up ordering something from Amazon on Memorial Day weekend 2022. The big Charbroil box arrived a few days later and that was that. Into the garage it went, waiting for a time to put it together. Just so happened Father's Day weekend was soonest we could get to assembling it. The box with grill inside is fairly heavy but that is to be expected. Unpacking the unassembled grill was daunting. I struggle to assemble small Lego kits, so this was definitely a little intimidating. Real card-carrying persons versed in tools and do-it-yourself skills won't think twice. The only tool needed was a screwdriver. The instructions were illustrated well enough. With my son's help it took us about 2 hours to assemble the grill. Why do they always put the assembly instructions in the back of the manual? I cannot operate it, clean it or use it until it is assembled. Notable assembly comments. The first step where you literally assemble the stand portion of the grill was a little tedious. Once we were able to get the 2 panels attached to each other and then to the legs, things went quicker but this first step was challenging to get pieces lined up and screws to go in straight. Also, one of the panels has the sticker with make and model info on it. The panels are symmetrical so as long as the correct sides are attached to each other and to the legs in the correct orientation, it does not matter if the panels are upside down. However, the aforementioned model sticker will be upside down if you do not make sure to have it oriented correctly when assembling the grill in step 1. The instructions do not mention the model number sticker. Only after getting this together, did we notice it was upside down. Not a big deal but it was a bit demoralizing. It was a bit of a slog getting through each step. We were definitely stumped at Step 11. There was this clip in the illustration that we could not figure out how to attach. It was for the burner shelf and the burner. I actually called Char-Broil on a Saturday and was delighted that a guy named Jamie actually took my call. He told me that the clip, identified in the manual as Part M, was called a Venturi clip. He emailed me a link to the official Char-Broil YouTube channel showing me how to properly install the Venturi clip. Once we were past Step 11, the other steps were simple and quick. Put the grates in and small final assembly steps. I went out and got a LP propane canister from the local big box hardware store. We made burgers, brauts, potatoes, and cabbage on the grill that night. This unit is basic and is about the same as the unit we received as a wedding gift. One thing I did not notice and is a minor drawback is there are no tool hooks or rack. The wedding gift unit had these amenities. That being said, the official Char-Broil Tool Hooks and spice rack is also sold by Amazon. I ordered that kit, and it was easy enough to put into the predrilled holes in one of the shelves on the grill. SO now I have 4 tool hooks and a spice rack. I may also order the official Char_Broil cup holder/bottle opener. I also ordered the official Char-Broil grill cover that Amazon suggested, so now I have a cover to hopefully extend the longevity of this unit. Overall, I am happy with this unit. It is definitely an entry level unit. Still, it made the Mrs. happy and now that we have done a few meals now on it, including some steaks, I am glad we got it. Lastly, the father son time I mentioned in the review title while assembling the grill is something I will always look back on fondly.

I am so happy with this grill.. Exceeded my expectations...did delivery, setup, take away old grill.... Totally worth the $...stress free purchase.. It's my pizza oven & veggies grill...so easy to clean too...

I had the previous version of this product, liked it, and bought the new one as a replacement after years of hard use. This is a great entry-level grill, with nothing fancy. That means less stuff can go wrong, and I've found both this one and its predecessor to hold strong against demanding use. There are 4 internal burners under the grates, and one on the side, which puts out just enough heat to keep a small pot simmering. I assembled it, and the whole process took maybe 30-45 minutes with tools. The grill comes together easily, with the notable exception of some of the bolts attaching the horizontal side wings to the main body. You will want a short bit or ratcheting driver for these, space is tight! One last note on upkeep: you need to CLEAN OUT the gas tubes after long periods of non-use, to clear out spider webs and other debris that can block gas flow. The only real complaint I have is the propane holder, which is different from the previous version, and looks like they removed a LOT of supporting material. The propane tank is held in place, but maybe not as firmly as before... Still, for the money, I'm very happy with this grill and expect to get years of work from it.

This Charbroil grill replaces another similar Charbroil grill that has lived out a six year existence in Los Angeles—so, used once or twice a week throughout most of the year. This grill was well-priced and was on sale in a year that has had few good bargains with the supply chain issues that have plagued every sector. Needing a new grill and with few other sale opportunities to choose from, I ordered it and it arrived as promised—the box a bit beat up and taped up….but, despite some apprehension, and photo documentation, all was fine. Thankfully, the grill went together flawlessly (as did the original) and was only slightly difficult when you are doing this yourself without the benefit of someone to help you hold legs upright while trying to screw things together—that was all flawless. Fully assembled, it also works without any issue, but my only reasoning for giving this grill 3 stars out of five is for the grease pan which captures any grease dripping down from the grill. This grease pan is one of last pieces to complete the assembly and itself, isn’t anything requiring any assembly. But, for reasons that escape me, the depth of the grease pan is only 18”, when the depth of the grill is 24”, so the back 6” is open to the ground (or deck, patio, etc.), allowing grease to drip unobstructed onto that surface. Probably not what people would want. I confirmed with the Charbroil representatives that this was the correct part for this grill—in case something was swapped out (and thus why the box I received might have been damaged—if one part was swapped out for another). But the dimensions of the grease pan are correct, but it is a total mystery why they designed a pan that is 25% shallower than common sense would dictate. The grill works well and I am using a length of aluminum foil to handle grease dripping on the rear 6” of the grill. Not great….but it works. The cast iron grill segments are lighter weight than the previous model, but still works well. I was supposed to hear back from the Charbroil folks within 24hrs after filing the online question/comment, following my conversation with the Customer Service. It has been 3 days now and have not received an official reply, beyond the automated response.
