Description: The Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill is a simple solution to the ultimate grilling question, Gas or Charcoal? With the Char Broil Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid Grill it is possible to enjoy both of those op New for this year, the barbecue features an impressive amount of storage, which is compatible with Char-Broil’s Madetomatch range of shelves and storage units that keep everything from griddle pans and pizza stones neaty and safely stowed. Easy access to coals tends to be standard in simple charcoal grills, but this isn’t always the case with combo grills. Having a lot of different components can compromise some features, and this is often charcoal tray or bin.

Some hybrid barbecues feel like they're neither gas nor charcoal, but with the Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ I can confidently assure you that you're getting two barbecues for the price of one.

Refreshingly, it requires almost no assembly, in fact, all you need to do is screw in the AA battery (included) into the ignition, attach a gas bottle, slot in the dishwasher safe grease guards around the outside and place the enamelled cast-iron grill plates on top. We were up and cooking in under half an hour. This is one of the smallest grills on the list, with a cooking area size of only 505 square inches. However what I would add here is that compared to a lot of other types of grill, this is still adequate size to work with. It doesn’t shy away from providing good cooking surface either. Between its two main cooking surface, it offers a total of 557 square inches of grill area for you to make use of.

Big Green Eggs aren’t simply barbecues: they’re ceramic-lined outdoor cookers in the style of Japanese kamodo ovens. Rather like Indian tandoor ovens, they get very hot indeed. You cook with the lid down and make good use of the built-in thermometer to know when to add food. Well built but fiddly to clean Takes a couple of hours to build as people have mentioned, build quality is far superior than my previous gas BBQ but that should be expected as it was double the price. It has a whopping 860 square inches of cooking space, which is incredible compared to almost any other grill or smoker we’ve seen. However, gas BBQs do generally cost more, you’ll need to store some – often heavy – gas canisters and some may feel something is lost without the chargrill flavour. You’ll have to weigh up these positives and negatives when choosing charcoal or gas. Our WIRED Recommendations above do run the gamut of both BBQ variations, showing different solutions can be right for different people. How much does a BBQ cost to run? High performance is one thing, but if the thing falls apart after only a handful of uses then the grill clearly up to the job.Personally, I tend to steer clear of these. While having everything streamlined into one unit is convenient, and they undoubtedly provide excellent versatility, there comes a point where the cooking quality of each facet of the grill begins to suffer once you add fuel source upon fuel source. Potential Food Yield It’s great for large families or even for those of us who like to show off a bit with our home equipment. Portability is enhanced by its silicone clips and handle. We found we could move the barbecue safely while it was alight, by clipping the lid on and carefully lifting the whole thing by the handle. If you don’t have access to this your grill could burn out, or you could be forced to replace it unsafely.

At 168 pounds, it’s a heavy unit, but it’s easy to move around. Besides, when it comes to outdoor grills, I like to bit of heft. At 120.9cm high and 54cm long, the Professional Pro S 3 is quite a large model - and you will need room outside to store it - it does come with wheels so it’s easy to position. We particularly like the way a gas canister – up to an ample 11kg - can be neatly housed underneath the barbecue - as opposed to the side. The side shelf can also be folded down after use and the barbecue comes with a cover to place over it to protect it. There’s also a handy display to tell you how full the gas bottle is, which means there are no excuses if you run out of juice mid garden party. The hooks for cutlery on the doors and integrated beer bottle opener on its body are also a nice touch. Other features are its instant electronic ignition, easy firebox access, porcelain-coated cast-iron grills, and an airflow regulator. If this is your first foray into the gas-charcoal hybrid world, it can be a bit daunting trying to cut through the noise and find exactly what you need. 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.
