This model is the smallest grill in Char-Broil’s Performance BBQ line. Available at Tru-Value and other independent retailers it has heat indicators above each stainless steel burner just like Char-Broil’s Commercial grills. There’s no natural gas option on the grill, which is a shame for people who don’t like cooking with propane, but that’s really one of the only downsides to the grill. The storage space may get just a little tight with the propane tank, but I’m sure you’ll be able to manage. What I can’t speak to is how well it will hold up over multiple grilling seasons.
The main cooking surface is made of durable cast iron that should last for years, especially with the porcelain coating there to protect it from moisture and food debris. The Char-Broil Performance Burner Gas Grill is a capable system that’s large enough for families and most parties. It produces a consistent heat with no flare-ups to make grilling easy and the result great every time. Lots of space, easy start and simple cleaning make this a really attractive gas grill. If only the warranty was longer we’d be saying run out and buy this right now.
However, the first time you have a cookout, you’ll notice the size of your grill’s surface. If you plan to cook dozens of burgers, hot dogs or even a few large steaks at once, consider a grill with a larger surface area. Most manufacturers list the square inches of grill surface Blackstone Adventure among their specs. The grease pan is porcelain-coated, making the cleanup and maintenance a breeze. With two side shelves made of stainless steel, you get ample work and prep space. Just put your food inside, close the lid, and monitor the heat while cracking a cold one.
More convenient is a battery-operated electronic igniter, which usually ignites the gas on the first try. Some grills also have lighting holes, on the side of or beneath the grill, that can be used with a match should the igniter fail. The main cooking area of the grill rounded to the nearest 5 sq. Located on the propane tank or the grill itself, this reveals at a glance how much propane remains in the tank.
Newer grills are built to pack a great deal of flavor into the burgers, steaks, chicken and other meats you make. Grill designers understand the elements that prevent meat from Blackstone Adventure drying out and build their burners and grates to match that. It’s easy to clean and maintain, comes with two wheels for easy mobility, and it’s friendly on the wallet.
The side burner on the Char-Broil Performance Gas Grill gives you extra cooking space, in addition to the 500 square inches you get on the grill’s surface. You’ll also find the rust-resistant cast-iron grates provide impressive durability. This grill uses the Surefire Electronic Ignition System for reliable one-touch starts every time. The cooking area is about 300 square inches primary and 100 square inches on the warming rack. It’s on the smaller side of grills, so this is to be expected.
