If you’re new to grilling or you’re looking to replace the grill you have, we recommend the Char-Broil – Performance series as the best gas grill for the money. We tested the five-burner, but the Char-Broil Performance is available in other sizes to suit your needs or space requirements. Instead of the tube burners traditionally seen with grills, they have tapered quadrangle-shaped burners. A side burner can make a big difference if you’re trying to cook multiple items.
The Char-Broil Performance XL has a classic look with its stainless steel design and black detail. Grill grates above the five stainless steel char broil performance burners are made of a rust-resistant porcelain-coated cast iron. A temperature gauge on the lid displays the grill’s interior temperature.
Electronic ignition system is powered by one AAA battery and offers fast and reliable burner lighting with the push of a button, . When not in use, the lid folds down to protect the burner and offers incremental work or prep space. I love cooking outdoors over live fire and smoke whatever the weather, using various grills, smokers, and wood-fired ovens to produce epic food. My goal with this site is to help as many people as possible enjoy and be good at doing the same. On many lower-cost grills, all you get is a tiny bucket that you hope the grease will drain into.
Luckily, this grill from Char-Broil comes with 500 square inches of space, which is more than enough to cater for most of your grilling. When combined its neighboring side burner and drying rack, the total cooking area of it comes to 660 square inches. This generally means that the grill comes with a dedicated rotisserie burner; the motor and spit are usually purchased separately. A dedicated rotisserie burner is usually located on the back of the firebox, slightly above the cooking grates; some models use the grill’s main burner.
