With spring and summer right Blackstone Adventure around the corner, it’s a great time to get your barbecue ready. A quality gas grill is more convenient, cleaner, and more versatile than a charcoal grill, and many great options are under $300. While you won’t find many high-end features on these affordable gas grills, most come from highly trusted manufacturers and are designed for long-lasting efficiency.
Although it’s not that much larger than the Performance version, the additional features come with extra parts that require careful attention. For best results, we would recommend inviting a friend or family member to help put this one together. All told, it should take about two hours to put together the Performance grill. The instructions are direct and easy to follow, and the packaging job is generally efficient, although this may depend on the retailer.

Weber, too, has a rich history of creating excellent products since the time of its inception.

You’ll still need to keep an eye on your grill, but this can at least let you wander away for a few minutes here and there without worrying about forgetting about your food. One of the biggest challenges you’ll face is in knowing when your meat is cooked to the perfect temperature. Although many grills come with thermometers, these are built into the hood, which makes them inadequate for accurately measuring the internal temperature of your steaks and burgers.
A total of 450 square inches of cooking area is on offer, separated into 360 square inches of primary cooking area and a warming rack worth 90 square inches. The grill has a two-burner design with each burner putting out a maximum of 13,250 BTU of heat for a combined total heat output of 26,500 BTU – more than enough to heat the large cooking area. Once you’ve assembled the Commercial model, you’ll have 525 square inches of grilling space to work with.
Even novices should have no problem operating the Char-Broil. Starting it requires a turn of a valve and the push of a button. From there, twin knobs let you control flame height to give you access to precise temperature control. Cooking Hamburgers, ribs, hot dogs, or even fish (if you’re into that) should be easy on this model. But the one thing I can not figure out is why, after all these years that grills have been around, why am I still burning my arm hair every time I open UP the lid?? It just seems like in these modern times a design would have emerged that could eliminate the problem.
