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

Product Information

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: Side Shelf– A handy place for your grilling tools and cooking accessories that doubles as extra workspace while you're cooking. The Gas2Coal charcoal grill is available with three stainless steel burners for 4 to 6 people (Gas2Coal 330) or with four burners for more than 6 people (Gas2Coal 440). The Gas2Coal 440 even allows you to grill with charcoal and gas at the same time.

This unit also offers a 12,000 BTU side burner. The four main burners crank out a collective 44,000 BTUs, which is adequate for a grill of this size. Char-Broil Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill: Social Proof Heat Retention: A double-walled stainless steel lid should help the grill maintain its temperature. The Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill differs from most similar offerings in one important respect: The gas and charcoal chambers are one and the same. While many hybrids place a gas grill and a charcoal chamber side by side, this unit is comprised of a single chamber, which can be used for either grilling style.Just above it is a warming shelf where you can rest any cooked food and you can lower the lid to cover everything, even when the warming shelf is loaded. 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 In addition to the three main burners, there’s an extra burner located on the left-hand side of the grill. This one is designed to resemble the burners on an indoor gas stove top range, making it a good fit for heating sauces and side dishes. Charcoal Tray Absolutely no one enjoys cleaning a barbecue the day after and, because of its setup, the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 2.0 does have more components to clean up than your most basic charcoal barbecue.

But what if you actually want to make the most of both options and can’t decide which one to choose? No problem at all: simply opt for a hybrid BBQ! Our Gas2Coal hybrid barbecues can be converted from a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than 60 seconds, without needing any tools whatsoever! The charcoal is then simply ignited with the gas burners, without any charcoal lighter. 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. 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 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.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. 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. Hybrid grills are among the most versatile models on the market. They can be used for everything from grilled prosciutto-wrapped asparagus to smoked pulled pork. In terms of both flavor and convenience, they’re difficult to beat. They can also be a good choice if you don’t have enough space to accommodate two grills. American brand Char-Broil was one of the first companies to make charcoal barbecue grills for the home cook.

The hybrid thing seems to work quite well, I've done 3 coal cooks on it all have gone well, there is no air flow control like a weber when using coal so temp control is limited to opening and shutting the lid. Once the charcoal is mostly covered in a layer of light grey ash, it’s time to place the food on the grate. With our hybrid grills, you can easily use the gas burners to ignite the charcoal. What grilling accessories do I need? Having always cooked on basic charcoal grills that cost a fraction of the price, we weren't sure this one could deliver results worthy of the extra expense but the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 2.0 surpassed our expectations.It’s got a strong reputation for making mid-range barbecues that have premium features but without the hefty price tag that often come with higher end grills.

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 Electronic ignition module: simply press the button to produce a spark that ignites the burner. Matches are not requiredOur product range not only offers high-quality charcoal grills made of stainless steel but also, of course, features a number of gas grills.
