Weber grills are known for their sturdy construction and the use of high-quality materials. Char Broil mostly uses 430-grade steel for its grills, which can be prone to rust over time. In short, if you are looking for a grill that you plan to use for more than a few years, opting for a Weber product can be a better choice. Warranty can be a very important factor in your decision-making when you are looking to purchase a grill. All Weber grills discussed above come with a comprehensive 10-year warranty. Char Broil offers a 1-year warranty for most products and parts.
The porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grates offer 300 square inches of cooking space, enough to make a delicious meal at the same time. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 4 burner gas grill is the perfect size for our family. Plenty of Grilling space, whether it’s just for us or we are having guests over. Separate side burner that is great for boiling a pot for corn or a pan with smaller foods and veggies.
Char Broil gives customers the option to choose between an open cart design like the Weber and a closed cabinet design. If you like the accessibility of the open space in the cart, this can be an ideal choice. However, if you are looking for better organization and more secure storage, the Blackstone Adventure closed cabinet style might be a better option. There is a definite focus on zonal cooking with many Char Broil grills, providing users with multiple cooking zones that can be used for different cooking functions. Char Broil does not compete with Weber on the portable gas grill side.
The closed cabinet design can be great for secure storage and organization and the unit is available in different models you can choose from. One variant employs cast-iron cooking grates while a higher Blackstone Adventure variant gives you grates made from stainless steel rods. The open cart design is made for quick accessibility of all your tools and utensils as the storage space can be accessed from both sides.
If there are any parts missing, contact Char Broil’s customer service department for replacements. On that note, the Commercial 4-Burner model earns higher marks. The TRU-Infrared technology might require a bit more skill than garden variety burners, but in the end, they deliver even heating and superior results. No matter how attractive a grill looks from the outside, it won’t do you any good if it’s constructed of flimsy materials. That’s why it’s vital to pay attention to the build quality before making a final decision. Overall, we think the Commercial 4-Burner grill offers more curb appeal.
While they offer a variety of products, their gas grills typically fall into the inexpensive-to-moderate range. Unlike some bargain-basement offerings, however, these are sturdy enough to withstand a few years of regular use. Porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates enable simple cleanup. Grilling season is upon us, and If you’re in the market for a new grill there are dozens of options out there. I spent the better part of two weeks grilling on the Char-Broil Performance XL. This five-burner grill offers a lot for the money.
