Char-Broil 26,500 BTU 2-Burner Gas Grill Model #463620208

Char-Broil LLC.

The Bottom Line

This is the bottom of the line for the Char-Broil gas grills. This particular version sells exclusively at Home Depot Stores. What you get is a single burner, dual zone gas grill. While the heat output of is okay the evenness isn't. On the other hand this grill sells for $100USD, which is a price that is hard to beat. These days this is the bottom end of gas grills so if this is the most you can afford you may consider it, but don't expect much. The thin body won't hold in the heat so you can't get a lot of versatility out of this unit. As a basic burger burner it is an okay grill, but watch out for the flare-ups.

Guide Review - Char-Broil 26,500 BTU 2-Burner Gas Grill Model #463620208

This model has been discontinued. It is replaced by the Char-Broil Quickset 2-Burner Gas Grill (Model #463741209)

This is a basic, lightweight grill that is not built to last or to be a great grill. In all honest there isn't much that you can say about this grill. If you don't have a lot of money (buy this one on sale for $100USD) and want a grill you can cook up some burgers and hot dogs on then you might want to pick this one up. Odds are you will be dragging it out to the curb within 2 years so I wouldn't get attached to this one.

From a design stand point this is something of a throw back to grills of the past. The single, dual control burner has lost its popularity, but considering you can typically buy a replacement for around $14USD it isn't a bad design. This gives you a "2"-burner grill that doesn't have a lot of versatility and won't last more than a couple of years, but you can always turn around and buy a new one in two years. Just try and recycle this one.
