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.

The Charbroil model I ordered, which is apparently an Amazon exclusive, perfectly fit my needs on paper. I was upgrading(?) from an old Ducane 3 burner that had just basically rusted out, and couldn't be salvaged. When I first received the grill, it arrived in a large box, which was partially open. I put it on my hand truck, wheeled it to the backyard, and unfortunately had to wait a few days before digging in to build it. Upon unboxing the product, I didn't notice anything wrong, and was excited to get started on the project. After opening the manual, and getting to step 1, I realized the one of the MAJOR pieces (the left support frame) had been bent during shipping, and there was no possible way to continue assembly. Very disappointing. I called Charbroil, and left a message for their customer service (of course, it was after hours) and expected more frustration to come. Surprisingly to me, they called the next day, and we worked out to register the product, and send me a replacement part. Great - more waiting. It arrived 3 business days later, and was the correct part. I finally got some time to assemble this thing and I have 2 first impressions versus the Ducane it is replacing: The firebox and shelves are WAY more flimsy, using a thinner gauge steel by a fairly wide variance. To the point where I would say that the shelves, if they were holding your utensils, probably couldn't handle much more weight. The instructions say "do not use more than 10lbs on this shelf" so, your mileage may vary. I am used to some pretty sturdy shelves, so this was disappointing. The firebox, I finally discovered, is also bent. Probably from shipping. In fact, the torsion on the stainless steel is preventing the grill from closing flush with the base. Is that driving me nuts? Yes...yes it is. Does Charbroil need to improve its packing to prevent this? Yes it does. Would I pay a little more for a unit that had some better designed shelves? Probably. The saving grace is that it heats up well, the grate is excellent so far, and food cooks evenly. So, I give it an overall 4 stars. It feels like for the money spent, I am getting decent value. If this is all your budget can handle, go for it. Again, i would have liked the components to be slightly sturdier, but at the price point, I like it. Just dont love it. Good luck.
