Guide Review - Charmglow 4-Burner 2-Lid Gas Grill
This grill has been discontinued.This grill is going to capture a lot of attention. As one of the few completely dual gas grills, people will see this as something new and potential very convenient. What you have to ask your self is, will one of these be enough for most things you grill. While this grill gives you the ability to grill to completely different items at the same time with two different temperatures, what you basically are getting is two, two burner gas grills. The indirect grilling space of either side is rather small so you might not be able to grill a large turkey on this grill without using the rotisserie, which is rather small.
In addition to the dual grill design, this unit small side burner, but basically is a simple grill with limited cooking abilities. If you really think about what you are getting with this grill I'm sure it won't seem that attractive.
This grill is made by Brinkmann in China, exclusively for Home Depot under their Charmglow store brand. The production quality is low. Lower grade stainless steel the doors and lower parts. 304 Stainless is used only on the burners. The porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates are good but the burner tents are thin porcelain painted metal, prone to rusting over time. Of course for under $300USD you can’t expect a lot.
