But, the versatile nature of this model means it works just as well in your backyard, at the beach, or while car camping. For some people, that could mean it’s the only grill they’ll ever need. The fact that it works great for both direct grilling and smoking makes this a no-brainer for anyone looking to Charcoal Grills Combo Grills buy just one charcoal grill. Just like all the other grills on this list, it has cast iron grates that help ensure durability and also good heat distribution across the cooking grate area. On the downside, it only has 24,000 BTUs of power, which doesn’t compare well to the other combo grills on this list.
It also features temperature gauges (although personally I recommend getting your own thermometer or meat probe for accurate temperature reading). We are now at a point where there are so many different makes and models of pellet grills/smokers on the market that reading individual articles to compare them is not sufficient. Unfortunately, its not stated what the size of the main cooking surface is, but I would estimate somewhere under 500 square inches. Many gas (that is, propane gas) grills also come in a natural-gas version, usually with a different model number that includes an “N” for natural gas.
Between these three, it has all aspects of BBQ cooking all taken care of. This fantastic grill offers a massive 860 Charcoal Grills Combo Grills square inches of cooking space. Again, that’s not the size of the main cooking grate where you will be grilling.
After cooking, it’s imperative that you clean your griddle to preserve its surface and avoid rust formation, even if you have a rust-resistant surface like stainless steel. These surfaces are then heated via gas burners that rest directly beneath the cooking surface. In addition, the cooking surface is made with rolled steel, which isn’t quite as rust-resistant but does allow for excellent heat retention and distribution. No, you can’t use charcoal fuel in a standard gas or propane grill. Gas grills are not designed to take on other fuels besides propane gas. Gas and charcoal is the number one priority here, but some models also add wood pellets as an added third fuel source.
The side tables are a little larger, great if you like having a lot of extra food prep space during your cooking. It has a griddle surface of 604 in.², which helps keep the size of the overall unit down a little bit. When we first saw the price we thought it was going to be a total rip-off. But after testing the griddle out and experiencing some of the clever design choices and premium build quality we can say that the price is mostly justified. Stainless steel construction and a removable grease tray make clean up the easiest out of all griddles tested.
