Weber’s segmented warranty covers the bowl and lid for 10 years, the “one-touch cleaning system” and plastic components for five years, and all other parts for two years. The Char-Broil Grill2Go’s best features are its compactness and its easy-to-carry char broil performance design. Two clips in the front hold the whole unit tightly together, and you can effortlessly carry the whole thing with one hand . You need to return them to designated locations, such as big-box hardware stores, for disposal and recycling.

We couldn’t do that with the 14-inch Weber Smokey Joe, where the one vent and the lack of airflow caused the coals to extinguish while we were cooking. British thermal units are a measure of maximum heat output over the course of an hour. The output on portable gas grills ranges from 4,000 to over 13,000 Btu. But more heat alone doesn’t equate to better grilling performance, as a grill’s performance is based on a combination of output, design, and quality of materials.
But vents are also important for the airflow required to keep your coals lit. We found that a vent in the top of the lid and another in the belly of the firebox created the best air circulation. Vents should remain easily accessible and swivel freely for fast temperature adjustments.
Its knobs regulate heat properly, and the steps to use other parts are pretty intuitive. The Performance Burner gas grill doesn’t have temperature readings on its knobs. This Char-Broil gas grill scores above average and reaches its maximum temperature pretty quickly. Although the Char-Broil Performance Burner gas grill sits on four casters, it has two locking wheels.
