Char-Broil Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill - 3 Burner Gas & Coal Barbecue Grill, Black Finish

Product Information

This Char Broil grill is especially useful for preparing large pieces of meat that need to be cooked slowly and over a long period of time. It has a large expanse of internal cooking space, so that you can cook large pieces of meat or prepare multiple meat and other dishes at the same time. In terms of total time spent, from unboxing to fully assembled, I'd say it took me about two hours to build the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 210 Hybrid BBQ. Anyone capable of using a screwdriver will be able to put this together, although, having a second pair of hands does make it easier to construct. Char-Broil Gas2Coal 210 Hybrid BBQ review: performance and features The Bistro collection of Char Broil grills range from small and portable units to bigger models that are raised from the ground. The ground units are made from strong and durable materials. They won't rust, they are very difficult to damage, and they won't scorch the floor or the table underneath. Although they are sold as patio units, they are a strong alternative to the Grill2Go model if you are looking for a portable barbecue. The assembly was fairly straightforward, with all components labelled and all bolts and screws in a single container.

There's lots of storage underneath the grill so you can squeeze in everything you might need, and it's all protected by two full-coverage doors. There's also a side table next to the charcoal grill as well as hooks for your grilling tools, and a handy built-in bottle opener.There's no way of saying for sure that dual-fuel barbecues can produce better-tasting food than other models, mainly because a lot of the time it will depend on the different grilling methods people use. Lastly, in terms of features, as I mentioned above, the Gas2Coal grill has side tables, which are very useful for storage and food preparation. The cooking capacity is great, and I like that I have the option to customise it with optional accessories.

Recently tested dual-fuel barbecues Find out if this barbecue does produce delicious, smoky food in our full Char-Broil Gas2Coal review. Where to buy a dual-fuel barbecue Dual-fuel barbecues, also sometimes referred to as hybrid barbecues, have been on the market for a little while now, and it looks like they are starting to gain in popularity. They come in a couple of different forms and at a range of price points too. Once the BBQ's frame is built you simply attach the cooking drum, which comes with its gas ring and controls pre-installed. Everything is pre-wired, so there's never any need to touch wires. The reasonably priced model has two separate burners: one gas and one charcoal. It suitable for both propane and butane gas, but if you want to use butane you'll need to buy a separate regulator.We've rounded up a few dual-fuel barbecues that we've recently tested, as well as some of the pros and cons of these types of barbecues, to help you make a more informed decision. There are three cast-iron cooking grids, one of which can be swapped out for a griddle (supplied) depending on how you want to grill, so it's a versatile barbecue.

Char-Broil calls this hybrid barbecue 'the solution for everyone who can't decide', and it's easy to see why. It converts from a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than one minute, or you can use both cooking methods at the same time thanks to the two separate grill trays. Overall, then, I am super impressed with the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 210 Hybrid BBQ. It offers the perfect mix of gas and coal. It's convenient and easy to light, just like gas, but you still get the flavour of cooking on charcoal. This makes it very difficult to fault. With our charcoal grill selection, you can bring that authentic BBQ experience to your garden. Whether you’re looking for a sleek tabletop version, a classic kettle model, or versatile drum BBQs, our offerings cater to your alfresco grilling needs. The coals are spread out evenly under the cast iron cooking grill, so you can cook evenly across the whole grill. You'll need to wait 10-15 minutes for the coals to start turning white on the bottom, then you can shut off the gas and wait a further five minutes with the lid open.Although Charbroil BBQ grills are long-lasting and durable, accidents can happen, and this means that you may need to buy replacement infrared and other grill parts. Unlike some other barbecues we've tested, this one has four wheels on the base rather than two, which should make it nice and easy to move around your garden. All of the grills are dishwasher-safe too, meaning less time scrubbing and more time relaxing. With the sunny weather set to continue, you might be thinking now is the time to treat yourself to a new barbecue. If you like the convenience of gas but the smoky taste of charcoal, a dual-fuel barbecue could be a good choice.

There are probably very methodical ways to carefully take out all of the components and lay them out grouped together, but I take a slightly more slap-dash approach to these things and, after five minutes, had everything unboxed and spread out over the lawn. The Gas2Coal grill is another of the innovative Char Broil grills that we have for sale. In as little as 60 seconds, you can change over from gas cooking to cooking on charcoal. No tools are required to change fuel source, and it means that you can cook specific foods on your preferred cooking medium.Naturally, the barbecue comes with the necessary gas bottle piping and connectors for the territory in which it is sold, and connecting the barbecue to the gas bottle is as easy as clamping the piping with a few clasps and then pushing the connector head on the bottle.
