SIDE SHELF: A large side shelf provides ample space to set plates, tools, sauces and rubs while you grill.

Our Gear Trax system gives you a more organized workspace with accessories like condiment baskets, cup holders and tool hooks. Customize your side shelf and side burner for maximum efficiency and convenience.

CONTROL KNOBS: Control knobs raise and lower the flame for each burner. Turn clockwise to increase the heat and counterclockwise to decrease. They're LED-illuminated to give the grill distinctive style and provide ambient light when grilling at night.
GREASE TRAY: A removable grease tray catches drippings and slides out for easy cleaning. You can insert an aluminum liner to contain the drippings and keep the grease tray clean. When you’re all done, simply throw the liner away.

Title: How EASY was that?? Great value for the money!
Review: I have to say, I was anticipating a lot of time and headache to put this together when it arrived. I was so pleased that it was so easy and the instructions were well done. I put it together in less than an hour in my garage. There was not a ton of parts to assemble, and all I needed was a Philips head screwdriver! All of the screws and assembly components were shrink wrapped on a card with identification numbers on the back that matched the numbers on each step of the instructions. Everything was packed in an organized manner, and well protected. I did not find a single ding or dent in any of the components.A very well made product, and I cannot wait to fire it up this weekend with some burgers and veggies! I also purchased the char-broil cover and this is a well made item too. Very very happy with this purchase, and it's a great value for the money in my opinion.

Title: Good Features for Price
Review: This replaced an installed natural gas grill that I had been using for more than 10 years but decided I wanted a moveable propane grill which are more reasonably priced. I have been grilling with gas for more than 20 years; prior to that with charcoal in a 30 year old cast aluminum grill. Here is what is good about this grill:- A lot of features for the price. This grill was much cheaper than an in-ground replacement with similar features.- Stainless steel exterior should hold up well. My previous grills have been cast aluminum which are essentially indestructible and hold heat well (see note below). What wears out are the cast iron grates, metal heat distributors, and gas burners.- Large cooking area with four burners that can be adjusted to achieve zones of different heating (See note, below). My previous grills with two burners sometimes limited the amount of cooking that could be done at one time.- The large side tables are useful and almost essential for grilling. Noted below, they do not fold down.- The drip collector and removable grease pan work well and are easy to clean. This is the best arrangement I have seen.- The side burner is a helpful feature but I mostly use it as a table instead of a burner.- Wheels allow for easy placement of the grill anywhere on my deck and for moving it to the side for storage. It has locking front wheels but I usually do not lock them unless people are moving around near the grill.- Temperature gauge in the top is almost essential for some grilling. Very useful, but I have had to add this feature to my previous grills.- A lot of parts to assemble, but it doesn't take much skill and the instructions and labeling are very good. These were well packaged and it is unlikely that there will be any damage upon delivery even if the shipping box is mishandled.What could be better:- Although the description says the top warming rack swings away when the top is open, the rack is actually fixed in place as shown in the picture. This makes placing meat under the rack more difficult. My previous grill had a swing away upper rack when the top was open, and I miss this feature. I use the rack for cooking vegetables, otherwise I would remove it to get it out of the way of grilling.- Although the stainless steel exterior may be long lasting, the thin metal does not retain heat as well as my previous cast aluminum grills. The interior does not get as hot given the amount of BTUs and I probably burn more gas for my grilling.- Each burner is long and narrow with a thin heat distributing metal plate over it that is very close to the grate. This arrangement does not distribute heat as evenly as my past grills that had burners lower in the grill with a larger and wider heat distributor that was several inches from the grate. The closer burners and heat distributors produce somewhat uneven heating across the grate, and I find that I have to flip and move the meat often for even cooking. This arrangement does allow better control of heating zones across the grate, but these zones are narrow.- The side tables do not fold down. My previous grills had this feature and it is useful to minimize the size of the grill when not in use and stored out of the way.- The back is open. Ventilation is important for safety with propane gas, but this allows mice and other wildlife access to look for food even if you cover the grill. I will probably have to put a screen across the back to keep out critters since I store the grill on my deck.- The illuminated control knobs is a useless gimmick. This is just a lighted ring around the knob and in the dark the light does not reveal the actual position of the knob. It looks cool, but I haven't found the light useful and will probably not replace the four batteries when they die out. The separate, single battery for the ignition is the only necessary electronic for the grill. Note, the ignition is powered by a separate battery located on the other side of the grill.Additional information that may be helpful:- The regulator has a safety feature to limit gas flow if there is a leak. This is buried in the manual. If this becomes engaged, the grill will not heat up above 250F or so, and the regulator will need to be detached and reattached. This has not happened for me but may have for other users. I turn on all the burners to max prior to use to make sure the grill will get up to 450+ before I grill.- I attached a gauge between the regulator and the tank so I know when the tank is nearing empty: DOZYANT Propane Tank Gauge Level Indicator LP Gas Pressure Meter Color Coded Universal for Cylinder, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B086HJC4J8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1- I got this cover which fits very well, comes to about 1 inch above the deck, and looks like it will last a long time: Classic Accessories Veranda Water-Resistant 52 Inch BBQ Grill Cover, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R4J59R4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Title: Five Star Grill
Review: After looking literally days and days, reading review after review, I came across this amazing find. It won’t break the bank and the quality is outstanding. It feels really sturdy and feels much more expensive then it costs. As for the grill, my family claims it’s the best grilled food I’ve made. I’ve done sausage, chicken, hotdogs, burgers and steaks. All have cooked perfectly. The temp turns down quickly and it has a built in temperature gauge. Perfect grill. Putting it together took a few hours, don’t rush and it will be fine. It was just me, once or twice I had to call 911 and have a police officer hold one side so I could screw in the other piece, but otherwise no issues.

Review: A message to Char-Broil this will be the LAST Char-Broil BBQ I will buy from you. You cut on quality over the years and the price keeps going up every time. In stead of putting fancy light that I will never use try putting the money back into a better quality stainless steel instead, The plate under the BBQ to catch all the dirt is so thin it will never last more than 2 years cheap cheap cheap. This BBQ might be ok for someone that BBQ'S only on a Saturday but I BBQ all week long. You call this BBQ a performance BBQ I THINK NOT. You can tell that this BBQ was manufactured in CHINA. Anyone that wants to buy a good BBQ that will last for 5 years or more stay away from this one. Napoleon BBQ will be the next BBQ i will buy YES I know it 3 times the price but it will last for 15 years or more. I give this BBQ a 2 star. P.S make sure you put a cement block inside for weight or a small wind will blow it away it's so light and a 20lbs tank is not enough to keep it in place.

Customers say

Customers like the ease of assembly, appearance, and value of the barbecue grill. They mention it's easy to follow the instructions, looks nice, and is great value for money. However, some dislike missing parts and have mixed opinions on the build quality, functionality, heat distribution, and cook time.
