We purchased this one to replace our Weber and it was a huge mistake. It is one year old and does not work. Having to pull the drawer out with the gas on it is a problem. It is terrible and I am so sorry I bought it. I will go back to Weber. The side instrument panel does not work and the construction is poor quality.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The ability to sear steaks is worth the price of the grill alone. It does a good job searing and providing information on propane left in the bottle etc. The electronic ignition is a perfect including the side burner. Assembly should have been easier and instructions in the manual need to be more concise. I had to call Charbroil to find out what the chain attachments were on either side because there was no information in the manual and I did not want to have pieces left over. Included hardware did not match verbose with the manual and illustrations of assembly need improvement. Once put together, though, it performed better than advertised. I already mentioned it, but I enjoy the ability to sear steaks and seal in juices. It also has the ability to smoke meats and vegetables. There are no flare ups either and the ability to clean the grill by turning a knob makes it easy and pleasurable to use. This is the best grill I have ever purchased and I have been using all types of grills for over 30 years. Now we wait to see how long it lasts.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Only had grill for 2 weeks. Assembly was not too difficult. So far everything everything I have cooked has been juicy and delicous. Cooking time is 1/3 what my old Char-broil was. besides the price, the only negative thing I can say is it generates quite a bit of smoke.
I would have no problem recommending this grill to anyone I know.

The features sold me, the poor quality made me wish I could return it.
If its possible to get a lemon with this product, then I think I got it. Trust me, I'm trying to make some lemonade with the Red, but its become rather discouraging trying to overcome my problems with this unit.
It took two complete weekends to put this together. The mounting holes for the side selves didn't line up. I needed a neighbor who was a fabricator to re-drill and tap new holes.
Side burner igniter came broken. Under warranty, but still have to send it back.
First start up, we couldn't get the temp to rise hot enough. Followed troubleshooting suggestions and after the 5th use it finally got hot. Wow, this thing is scary hot. It was a short joy, it hasn't done it since. 250 degrees only. Bad regulator.
This is just my first 5 weeks with the grill. All of this stuff can be fixed and will.
But...........
No, I do not recommend this product.

This grill is the best I have owned. I looked at more expensive Webers, but the design of this grill made more sense. I was correct in my evaluation. The heat is even across the grill. The cleaning system is a big time saver. The infared pans add to the cleaning ease, keeping the drippings off the burners completely. I have smoked by adding chips to those pans, and it worked perfectly. The only thing that you have to adjust is your cook times, which are considerably shorter. The best steaks, burgers and fish I have ever cooked. Even with the usage of propane for cleaning, the overall fuel consumption is less.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was really sceptical when we bought this grill. How great could this thing really be. I honestly jsut thought it was a high end grill, but did not expect it to cook some of the most amazingly yummy food I have eaten off a grill. Everything we have cooked has come out tender and juicy, not dried out and honestly the best grilled food I have ever eaten. I have become a believer and tell anyone I see to try it out. It was well worth the money and I can only hope for the price it stays with us for a while.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have owned this grill for just over 2 weeks now and I can say I am pleasantly suprised by its performance. I looked at the grille for about 3 weeks before trying to dedide what I wanted to buy... (Nice way to spend many lunch hours when a Home Depot is so close to your place of work!) ANyway... I read the online reveiws from other people that owned the grille and I have to say those reviews really sold me and made me decide this was the grill for me... After taking the plunge, getting it home was a challenge because it is so big... putting it together was not bad at all...(although it took me about 45 mintutes just to put the handle on the drawer because the holes did not match up perfectly)... other than that issue... the rest was a snap!
Firing it up for the first time was exciting.... I read up on it and went to the CharBroil website and watched all the video's..... It realy is a different way of cooking... but I have to admit... it is beyond phenominal! burgers are so much juicier... steaks, chicken, Salmon steaks, tuna steaks... all taste so much better... (Please beleive me... I dont work for Home Depot, or Char Broil... I am truly a "customer".. some times when you read these reviews you think that these people writing these things have something to gain.... well I really dont. have anyting to gain! just want to let everyone know how happy I am with this thing!
THe only thing I will say is that the Home Depot I bought this fun had 3 of these grilles assembled and EVERYONE of them the chrome was peeling off the handle mounts... so I am a little worried about that... and the other thing is this thing reall pumps out a lot of smoke.... basically all the drippings go into a RED HOT Pan and it all burns off... this is a good trade off though because it keeps all the burners dry and I anticipate long life out of the burners (probably why they have the guarentee that they do on them!)
THats it! I say plunk down that wad of $$$ and buy this thing.... you wont be unhappy!!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this grill last summer and cover it when not in use. After one year the grates are rusting and the only replacements that fit are sold direct by Char Broil at $30 each. So I can expect to pay more than $100 each year to replace grates for a $800 grill.
The weber I had for 10 years cost $20 total for a single generic replacement grate. I'm going back to Weber next time.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This thing is unbelievable. The burgers are like you have never had a burger before in your life. Unreal! It seals in all of the juices. Steaks perfect as well. The only other thing we've cooked is kabobs which were great as well. Seriously, Make a third of a pound burger patty up, throw a little seasoning on it and toss it on. Add a nice slice of pepper jack and you've got the best burger ever.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It is easy to clean, nice to look at!
We live in Florida and after a hurricane we are often without power. I think this baby will be able to handle anything we try to cook on it. One of these days I am going to see if I can cook a pie on it!

I would have to say I was not too sure of the grill. It is like nothing I have ever cooked on before but I have to say that it is a dream to cook on. The sear for steaks is like Chicago style and is truly one of a kind. The best is that you do not burn from flare-ups. Worth the money get it and enjoy..

This grill is amazing. I spent 3 months searching all of the reviews and ratings for grills both in person and on the net. I was going to buy the weber genesis 320 but there is less btu and the control knobs were blocking the only work space. so i decided on this one instead. happy i did i have had it a week now and grilled twice. heats quick and cooks nicely. food was excellent. once the deck is finished next week i can grill most every night. liked the fact this one came with the rotisserie, the griddle for saturday morning pancakes, thermometer with alarm and timer. and it was priced at $669 with the 10% discount only paid $600. Even the cshier thought it was a steal.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this BBQ for my husband for farthers day and it absolutely cooks delicious meats and vegetables. The problem is that the lettering around the dials starting wearing off within the first month. After two months there is nothing left and we have to refer to the instruction manual to set the dials directionally correct or at least we hope there correct. We keep the BBQ covered after every use so it's not how we treat or clean it. We used non-abrasive greese cutting cleaners.
We are bummed. For the money, this shouldn't have happened and especially after one month.
No, I do not recommend this product.

great grill have used for 6mo. only have had 2 flare ups and they were very minor. one with fatty chicken legs and the other with ribeyes. The optinal cover is a disappoitment. the color has faded to a dirty pink and it lets in moisture when it rains.Clean up is a breeze, almost none. every 3-4 weeks I take out the trough and hose it down. otherwise a quick brushing of the grates if anything is left from yesterday.

I bought this BBQ last week and I am shocked at the quality and performance it has. I replaced a Ducanne high end grill with this one and there is really no way to describe the experience. I BBQ almost every night, even in the winter, and I had constant problems with flare-ups and either burned food or raw food when I had to grill at lower temps. I brought this BBQ home and looked at it and got scared, inside it looks like nothing I have ever used before. There are no visible burners and only two half circles under the grates. I fired it up and let it preheat and then I put a piece of salmon on one side and a 2 inch Ribeye on the other. I have never had more delicious food in my life! The fish was cooked perfectly all the way through without burning the outside and the steak was the most tender and delicious Ribeye I have ever had. The clean up is amazing, there is really nothing the clean except the grate, which is porcelain and just wipes clean and the grill has a self cleaning mode that also is the setting you use to preheat so you do both at one time. All I can say is I don't know how I ever used any other grill before. It is almost impossible to describe how amazing this product is. If anyone is in the market for a BBQ, don't make the mistake of passing up this grill and if this model is too expensive, there is one just like it but smaller, 3 burners instead of 4 and it is 300.00 cheaper. Take it from me, you will never look back after you use this product and I just don't know how it has taken so long for this technology to come to market, it defies logic when it grills like this. One last thing, when the food is grilled, it tastes like the original food with a BBQ flavor, not the overwhelming BBQ taste that food that is cooked on Weber charcoal grills or other types of grills always taste like.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I got a 4-burner model for Father's Day. I was reaaaaly skeptical about it, and had my heart set on a Weber Summit. But the Summit's price is insane, so I decided to give the Red a try.
This thing is HOT. I put mine on "clean" (the hottest setting) and used a laser thermometer to measure the temp. After 15 min, the grate was around 800F and the tub was 913F! I am NOT kidding.
How does it cook? This is the best grill I've ever owned! It is taking some getting used to (it cooks fast and I am overcooking things), but even the overcooked stuff is still pretty moist. Pork chops, brats, dogs, steaks, burgers, all turned out great. I've never had a grill that seared steaks decently before this one. The juices are fairly well sealed in, and the grate marks make them look great. All I did was dry rub them with some McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning (basically kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and caroway?)
But the BIG shocker was rotisseried chicken. I had an 8+ lb bird, and dry rubbed it with Famous Daves chicken rub (no oil, baste, or anything). Loaded it onto the supplied rotisserie, turned the grill all the way down, and tossed a handful of soaked mesquite chips into the tub. I also put a small tub of water on the remaining grate to boost the humidity. After 2-1/4 hours of turning and smoking (no basting), I pulled out the BEST, most tender, beautiful looking chicken I've EVER had. The skin was crisp, while the meat fell off the bone. My fiancee and our kids LOVED it.
This grill is huge. That big chicken only took up 1/2 of the grill. (It is built with two "tubs" side by side, with a bar running down the center, front to back, between them. You couldn't really rotisserie anything in the "center" even if you wanted to.) So that still leaves the other half available for another rotisserie item, or to cook something on the grates, at a different temperature.
This grill is SMOKEY. When grease drips on most grills, a little spatters and smokes up, and the rest runs to a catch can. There is no outlet on the Red's tubs, so everything burns off. I have a blast making my neighbors smell my artwork. Sometimes, I toss in wood chips just to make it worse ;)
Is it free from flareups? No, but it is MUCH better than my previous gas grills. Just use the "clean" setting to preheat the grill and burn off buildup, and minimize oily or buttery bastes. The manual says to keep wood chips away from drip areas, which is generally good advice.
The chicken turned out so well that my next "experiment" is going to be a rotisseried turkey. We have taken over Thanksgivings and Christmases, and if I can get a turkey to turn out anything like the chicken, I will become a legend of family holiday cookery :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this grill this past weekend and must admit I was blown away by the performance of this grill. We have already cooked burgers, steak, chicken and ribs; everything came out delicious and juicy. Grill gives that great smoke flavor and unless you have something with a lot of "fat" there are no flareups and even those are minimal. Love this grill and highly recommend it.

This grill is awesome. It is packed with features not even found on more expensive grills. I really like the digital tank scale, the included rotisserie, the ball bering slides, the huge drawer, built in temp probe, I could go on and on. I was a little bugged that it did not come with a tank, but I convinced the HD manager if he tossed one in along with the RED cover, I’d buy it. He did, I did. It was a great deal. I've only had it foe a few weeks, so I will update this is my opinion changes (I don't think it will though)
Now for the review:
Cooking - I was skeptical, but wow, everything (including chicken and thin burgers) come off juicy. It heats up in a decent amount of time for its size. I have been using the smoker chips in it, and it is the first gas grill that is actually good at smoking foods at 200 degrees. The side burner is very effective and practical as I usually prepare mushrooms, onions, peppers or stir fry in a Wok on it.
Quality- top notch.
Ease of assembly-not too bad. It comes mostly assembled for you, but you do have to connect the 2 side shelves, They can be kind of a pain due to the location of where the bolts need to go (this is especially true on the most upper right corner of the burner shelf).
Looks-second to none
Cool Guy factor - you bet it has it
Yes, I recommend this product.

This was an interesting buy @ HD. Specialty Grill retailers call anything under $1,000 a "throw away grill" I did have a Char Broil "Professional Series" Grill before and it lasted maybe 6 years and was skeptical over getting another from them. Now, I've had some grills that have parts that wear out, etc. but the RED seems to be the answer to all my corrosion and no long life issues. ALSO, the RED really does deliver like it's promoted. The grilling surface was HOT and cooked the food as advertised. JUICY. I've only had the unit for a week and the whole family likes it.
Easy clean up! which is one of the problems we have had with other grills. I think Char Broil has hit a home run on this one.
Yes, I recommend this product.
