Char-Griller has been making low priced charcoal grills and smokers for a few years and has recently started making gas grills. This gas grill is built on the modified body of the smallest of their charcoal grills, basically replacing the coal grate with three burners. In addition they have put on a 12,000 BTU side burner. This means a heavy thermal painted steel grill body and porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates on a gas grill. Surprising this actually works quite well for a low priced (typically under $200) gas grill.

This grill is loaded with features right down to a bottle opener mounted on the front. This grill plugs in to power the internal LED lights and has outlets in the back to let you plug in your radio for some music while grilling. At it's heart is a three burner, 45,000 BTU gas grill that has plenty of power and three position cooking grates which give you the ability to get down close to the fire, or position away for gentler heat. To afford all these features and extras this grill has limits in construction. The stainless steel is low grade and the burners are lightweight. An okay grill, but not a great one.

This is a basic gas grill, the most basic of Char-Broil's Commercial Series line. With 4 burners and a side burner you get a well sized and feature grill for around $300USD (sold exclusively at Lowe's though similar models sell else where). The heat output is good and this grill will cook well. Unfortunately it won't cook well for long. The burners on this unit are thin, low grade stainless steel that should last for about 2 to 3 years. Most of the internal components are of the same quality.
