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

Product Information

That said, hybrid units tend to be more expensive than grills that offer just a single fuel source. They also require more care and maintenance, especially if you use both options on a regular basis. First, distribute the briquettes or charcoal evenly in the firebowl. It’s important to ensure that there are no gaps. You can alternatively pile up the charcoal or briquettes in the middle of the cooking grate and then place the food to be barbecued directly over the charcoal. To make lighting the charcoal as easy as possible, you can either use our half-time charcoal starter, a variant on a charcoal chimney, or a standard charcoal lighter. For many barbecuing fans, grilling with a charcoal grill is still the only authentic way to barbecue. From igniting the charcoal to tending to the hot embers and right through to enjoying that delicious smoky barbecue flavour, barbecuing with charcoal grills is a truly special experience. The Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill is a combination grill which easily converts from being gas powered to being charcoal powered in only three simple to perform steps in less than 60 seconds with no tools being required.

A 5-year warranty is in place for all the burners, including the one on the side. The lid and firebox are guaranteed for up to 2 years. All the other parts are covered by a 1-year warranty. The coals are spread out evenly under the cast iron cooking grill, so you can cook evenly across the whole grill. Size: Think about how many people you’ll be cooking for, how often you’ll use the grill, and which ingredients you plan to cook the most. The propane tank is stored in a small compartment beneath the firebox. When the charcoal tray isn’t in use, it can be placed just above it on the customized shelf. This configuration cuts down on the footprint of the Gas2Coal unit. It also makes the design much more user-friendly. 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.

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. Are you looking for an inexpensive hybrid grill so you can determine whether it will suit your lifestyle? If so, then this budget offering from BLOSSOMZ could be the unit for you. The quality isn’t the greatest, but it should work well for a season or two.

All of the burners are constructed of high-quality stainless steel. As long as the metal is cleaned regularly, these burners should last for several seasons without rusting through. A wire brush is the perfect tool for this task, but some people prefer to use less abrasive methods. The Char-Griller Dual Function could be a great investment for chefs who want to create the ultimate outdoor kitchen. #3 BLOSSOMZ Dual Fuel Combination Charcoal/Gas Grill There are two important methods of grilling with a closed lid. One is direct grilling and the other is indirect grilling. Here is the difference Cooking on gas also seems to work fine, very good temp control, cleaning is a bit of a problem as the bottom of the BBQ bit is not removable, my old BBQ the whole under side beneath the burners slid out and could be scraped clean quite easily, the Coal 2 gas requires you to remove all the grill, heat shields etc to get and clean it. (Unfortunately, it does say in the small print that this BBQ is not designed to be cleaned by turning it on full and burning excessive off, I hadn’t seen this bit, this technique worked fine on my old barby for years.)Description: The Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill is a simple solution to the ultimate grilling question, Gas or Charcoal?

Recently tested dual-fuel barbecues Most barbecue manufacturers will claim that dual-fuel barbecues are the best of both worlds, allowing you to reap the benefits of both gas and charcoal models without having to commit to one type. But there are other things to consider.

As we mentioned, this model is flanked by a side burner. When the burner isn’t in use, a metal shelf covers the heating element, so this space can be used to hold side dishes or barbecue tools.If you often cook for a crowd, the Royal Gourmet Dual 3-Burner unit is worth a second glance. #2 Char-Griller Dual Function Gas/Charcoal Grill Throughout cooking it was possible to simply pull down the lid and re-heat the interior of the Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ at any time. We saw the temperature gauge react instantly, with an average temperature of about 150-200°C throughout cooking, even when we had been grilling for some time. All that needs to be done is to simply light the lumpwood charcoal or briquettes with the gas burners, with no lighter fluid being required, in the patented charcoal tray to ensure uniform heat and minimise flare-ups. The patented special design of the charcoal tray creates air movement which impacts on the charcoal from the top surface to allow the charcoal to burn top down instead of bottom up with the guided airflow reducing flare ups and creating more efficient burning while giving more even heat distribution. Gas grills have a well-earned reputation for being user-friendly. Still, there are some outdoor chefs who just can’t live without the taste of genuine wood smoke. For these individuals, a hybrid grill could provide an easy solution.
