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

Product Information

The Char-Broil Bullet Smoker is our traditional charcoal smoker with an easily accessible ash pan. This lidded charcoal barbecue has a lid-mounted thermometer that enables you to optimally monitor the temperature of your grill.

The igniter switch on the Gas2Coal unit is both reliable and effective. That’s especially important for a grill like this one, because it relies on that spark for both the gas and the charcoal grilling techniques. You won’t have to resort to creative lighting methods with this unit. Temperature Control The Heat Tents (burner covers) cover the burners of your gas grill. They usually protect the burners from dripping fat and gravy. But they can also add some flavor to your food as the gravy drips down, heats up, and then smokes. However, if too much fat has built up, the heat tents can catch fire from the fat, resulting in uneven heat. You can use a brush to clean the heat shields here. But if the dirt is so stubborn, then you should replace it. Made2Match Accessory Compatibility– Accessories allow you to add extra storage (sold separately) to the grill's side shelves, keeping everything at hand. 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.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.

How To Return A Product Electronic Igniter– An electronic igniter means you can light your burners with the simple push of a button. No matches needed. You have to be very careful not to burn your food on coals, but with this gas BBQ you can instantly turn the heat down, which you cant do with coals. 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.

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.) The Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill is a simple solution to the ultimate grilling question, Gas or Charcoal? With the Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill it is possible to enjoy both of those options. Gas grills generally produce an even heat, but it is normal to experience slight temperature fluctuations in different areas of the grill. However, if you find that part of your grill is not getting hot enough or is overheating, then it is safe to assume that something is wrong. The reasons for this can be the following points:For the drama of a smokey barbecue and the longevity of the heat, I'd opt for charcoal grilling when entertaining for a crowd, because it's a less gas-intensive way of cooking and there's little risk of fuel running out.

Stainless steel is also an effective heat distributor. When you use the gas burners, the food should cook thoroughly and evenly.A built-in temperature gauge can be found in the lid of the Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill. While we would recommend keeping a digital thermometer on hand as well, the readout is generally trustworthy. As a bonus, the numbers are large enough to be viewed from a short distance away. Storage Our product range not only offers high-quality charcoal grills made of stainless steel but also, of course, features a number of gas grills. The Kamander, Kettleman, Oklahoma Joe’s, Bullet Smoker and Performance Charcoal 2600 and 3500: the charcoal BBQs from Char-Broil Okay, let's talk about why you'd want a hybrid grill. When it comes to cooking on a BBQ for friends or family, the last thing you want is to be let down by poor quality or temperamental hardware. Cooking on a coal barbeque can be risky –the biggest of which is that you might not light it properly and the coals don't catch, resulting in an embarrassing and disappointing trip to the oven. There's no question, cooking with a gas barbeque is more convenient, faster and reliable. If you don’t want to settle for just one grilling method, Char-Broil’s hybrid grills are the perfect solution – for example our Gas2Coal hybrid grill. This impressive product can be converted from a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than 60 seconds, without needing any tools whatsoever! The charcoal is simply ignited with the gas burners, without any charcoal lighter. As for the side burner, it delivers 12,000 BTUs all on its own. If you’re looking for a way to boil water for rice or pasta while you grill the main course, the Gas2Coal could be a perfect fit. Electric Ignition

A second painted shelf is located on the right-hand side. While we think it’s a bit too narrow to be used for prep, it’s suitable for tools and condiments.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. For our part, we think the Gas2Coal is a fine hybrid model. As long as you’re willing to choose between gas and charcoal for each cooking session, this grill should give you the results you’re looking for. The Kamander is our versatile all-rounder for smoking, baking and grilling. This charcoal grill requires less than 1kg of charcoal and is therefore extremely efficient.
