Yard sculpture
,PostedJuly 2, 2011
I bought this grill in the summer of 2010. It was a bit of a pain to put together and isn't the highest quality contruction. However it cooks better than any grill I've ever had. We were blown away by how good everthing came out.
Then the love affair ended. The dreaded problem of the temp not getting over 350 started. I went back and did all the things recommended to solve this problem. After several tries it started heating to 650+ like a champ. That lasted for about a week. Try as hard as I might the problem wouldn't go away. I even tried different tanks of propane and new regulators. When turned on I could smell propane so I sprayed soupy water on all the connections I could see. No leaks. Could still smell propane and check for leaks several more times to no avail.
I finally called CharBroil and explained everything I had tried. After a bit of "discussion" they agreed to send me a new valve assembly but wanted to make me pay for shipping. After I pitched a fit about why should I pay shipping for a brand new grill part that was defective they waived the shipping charge and sent it. Swapping out the valve assembly took a couple hours, skinned knuckles, and may newly invent curse words. Fired it up and it worked great! At least for the first five times and then back to the not heating problem. By that time winter was on us and the problem was forgotten. Spring finally came to New England about two weeks ago. I went out to test out the grill hoping it had somehow repaired itself over the winter. Of course it hadn't. Due to health problems I haven't been able to attemp another fix but am not hopeful.
Basically I'm left with a large heavy metal yard sculpture.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Review 2 for RED 3-Burner Gas Grill
Overall rating
This grill cooks great and evenly with no flare ups.
,PostedJune 2, 2011
I purchased this grill (model #463250108) in 2008 same design as this but over 200 lbs, a little larger dimensions and the primary burner BTU's ~ 35,400. I keep the grill covered when not in use. I give it 3 stars because of the following...Some of the art work on the front of the grill is fading. No rust on the grill but some pitting on the door handles. The heat plate/trough should be cleaned after cooking. Last year I removed the rust from the heat plate/trough and I used heat resistant spray paint to cover the bare metal. I have to replace the left steel heat plate/trough (most heavily used) that holds the cooking grate. It has several holes on the bottom. Also the heat plate/trough on the right has some rust, no holes but will have to be replaced. A grill that cooks great but has some flaws.
Yes, I recommend this product.

very good grill

I ordered this grill on line and received it in 5 days. A Home Depot employee came to my house free of charge to assemble it. THANK YOU! I have used the grill three times and so far it works great. No flare ups just like they advertise and clean up is a snap! It is my first time with an infrared grill and I have found it to cook food just as well as a traditional grill. This grill looks good, feels good and heats to a very high temperature. The reason I gave the grill four stars and not five is for a couple of reasons. First, I think having spent a good sum of money on a grill, it should have a gauge for the propane tank letting me know how much gas is left. This does not. Secondly, the directions say there is no need to season the porcelain cast iron grates but I have found food sticking to the grates. I will go back and season the grates to try to decrease the amount of sticking. Overall, I do recommend this grill.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fantastic Grill
,PostedMarch 24, 2011
Purchased 4-1-10
Over the years I've grown tired of having to replace my grills after a season or two because of rust, uneven heating, or malfunctioning burners. I then upgraded to a Char-Broil stainless steel professional model which saw me through 8 years. After seeing this Infrared grill in the HD stores and their online site, I decided to retire that model in order to take the plunge with this Infrared grill. It was delivered nearly completely assesmbled (completed assembly in a snap with the help of a friend) and I was anxious to put it through its paces. I was NOT disappointed!
It handles every type of food you put on it with complete ease without burning, undercooking or the dreaded flare-ups. I can also toss in some mesquite or hickory woodchips on one side to achieve a deep, smokey flavor and not have to worry about setting my deck on fire in the process, if I should turn my back on it for a few minutes. The warming shelf, the excellent side burner and the self-cleaning setting round out the features of this grill like none I've owned before. This Infrared maintains heat evenly at the setting you choose without wavering. The sturdy components and construction insures it will last me a number of years. Over the course of the entire summer last year I was never disappointed in the performance whatsoever, and cleanup was always a snap.
Because I was able to order it online during a selected 10% off purchase day, I was able to snap this beauty up for a very reasonable $550, and it's worth every penny! I'm VERY pleased with this grill, and you will be too!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Super Grill
,PostedDecember 12, 2010
So Far, best gas grill I ever had-bar none. I really, really like the very few flareups you have, compared to what you usually get with gas grills. Burning your meat while a quick bathroom visit is very disconcerting to say the least..
The heavy construction lid is a big plus..The total engineering-the construction of the burners, the heat output, the small additional "pan" for adding wood chips that can be easily emptied, the design of the dripping "pans" that keep the fire away from the meat, and etc..
It is all good..And the looks--fabulous!!!
No complaints so far, and I doubt there will be any.
Buy this grill!!!

I love this grill. I dont think they sell it anymore at homedepot. I bought the floor model after an extensive search to no avail. I got $100 off the regular price. I love the construction of the grill. Heavy lid, good quality. First time I used it i didnt coat the grates and the food stuck. I bought some pam for grilling and it worked great. The food comes out juicy on the inside and not dried out. I also used a woodchip box. This definitly the best grill out there.

Review 8 for RED 3-Burner Gas Grill
Overall rating
So far, great grill!
,PostedSeptember 14, 2010
I have had this grill for several weeks know and have grilled on it a number of times with the every inch covered with meat to only a single burger, steak or piece of chicken.
Overall, I am pretty happy. The $600 price seems to be in the mid-range and the quality definitely seems to match many of the higher end grills available. The hood, doors and framing of the grill all seem to be top quality and very sturdy.
I was able to make the switch with the natural conversion kit (oddly not sold online, but easily picked up in the store). It took about 2-3 hours total to assemble the grill while converting along the way.
The heat is even, and can be quite powerful. I have noticed pieces of meat can cook about 20-40% faster, especially when all burners are on and the meat is spread evenly.
Cleanup is a cinch, for the deeper cleans I pull out the grates and the U shaped pans to wipe them down. The stainless area requires a bit more constant love, but this is true for any stainless appliance.
My only complaints are the ignititors don't always light the burners right away, especially the far right "single" burner. And it seems emit a bit more smoke than I would expect. Not sure if this is still the "new grill" residue or the fact I cooked 60 burgers and 30 hot dogs the first time!
This is a winner. Only wish I would have bought it at the beginning of the summer when it was $450!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect!!!!
,PostedJuly 1, 2010
This Grill is perfect!! I bought this as an early Fathers' Day gift for my Boyfriend in May. I bought it unassembled, so that was the only "con", if you call it one. I watched my bf put it together and it seemed like a pain; but the directions were really good and it only took one hour! We have used it almost every day since and I can say it has paid for it-self. We keep it covered whenever we are not using it and the "Red" Cover fits perfect as well! It has been rained on but no rust..just for the review I had read that stated that. Oh and for the ladies (just because I cook on it more than he) It cleans up easy and like new after every use! I highly recommend this grill! Its beautiful and can cook alot of food at once!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Grill
,PostedJune 21, 2010
The grill was very easy to set up. There were only a few steps, and the total time from opening the box to lighting the burners was 1.5 hours. It’s not as stable as I’d like, but seems adequate as long as I don’t shake it or lean against it.
Heating has never been a problem: it heats to 700+ degrees in 20 min. I haven’t experienced the problem of the grill not passing 350 deg as some have, which is likely the result of turning on the burners before the tank. (I believe that triggers a safety feature which limits gas flow.) It does run hot, so cooking times are typically shorter than recipes suggest.
Flare-ups do occur, but only with fatty foods (chicken thighs) or too much liquid coating (oil on potatoes). Since I’ve been more vigilant about trimming excess fat, flare-ups have been rare. (But I keep a squirt bottle close just in case.)
I didn’t get the “grilled taste” I expected until throwing in some wood chips. That made a huge difference, and the flavor was fantastic!
Overall, I’m very satisfied.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love This Grill
,PostedJune 17, 2010
First, let me say I love this grill. I've been looking for over a year for a new grill to replace my 6th natural gas grill. This grill was the only one I could find in the size I wanted that offered a natural gas conversion kit, which I installed myself, and it was very simple to do. We first got on-line to see what comments others had with this infrared cooking system. Most all were very positive. I've cooked steaks, ribs, chicken, chops and burgers. All came out juicy and excellent tasting. It does cook hot and fast, about 1/2 the time of my old grills. It's not hard at all to figure out at all. It was so easy to use it with Apple wood chips, and it gave the meat an excellent, smoky flavor. Clean up is a breeze.
We bought our RED at a Home Depot in Sandusky, Ohio. The salesmen working were very helpful and knowledgeable about this grill. My final decision was made when they told me that if I didn't like it, bring it back within 30 days for a full refund.
No, I am not an employee or know anyone who works at Home Depot.
Get one, you'll love it too!!
A very satisfied customer.

Cooks Great
,PostedJune 14, 2010
It arrived mostly assembled. I had to add the side shelves and a few misc. parts. Took less than an hour to unpackage, review the instructions and assemble. During my first use I was multi tasking and forgot about my hot links. On my old grill they would have been burnt to a crisp due to flare ups, but these were only slightly browned and very good and juicy. The amount of heat this unit gave off was amazing, it quickly got to 600 degrees and I had to turn all burners to low to continue cooking (very efficient heat production). Clean up was a snap. A little heat, a little brushing and a wet paper towel to wipe out the "U" heat plate.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love This Grill
,PostedJune 2, 2010
Bought this grill as the first big purchase for my new home. Grill assembly was easy, and it started without any problems. The grill heats up extremely fast (was at 400 in 3-4 minutes), and cooks fast and keeps the meat tender and juicy. First time I grilled with it I cooked for a family BBQ and made 75 burgers and dogs, cooking took 20 minutes. I would recommend this grill to anyone looking.

Great Grill
,PostedMay 30, 2010
I won this grill last year and absolutely love it. We have never had any flare-ups or smoke or burned food as a few people have said and we cook year round. We've also cooked with the wood chips and the flavor is outstanding. We have cooked everything on it, burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, fish, veggies and potatoes. We also got the rotisserie and have done several chickens. The temperature gage is accurate. It is easy to clean in and out and I am surprised how fast it cools down after use. The only negative is remembering to turn it off after the cleaning, but hey, I can deal with that as our last 4 grills had to be manually turned off too.

Great Grill!
,PostedMay 30, 2010
I bought this grill for number of reasons but mostly because it seemed very sturdy. Most of the other grills, especially the stainless models were very flimsy and didn't seem well built. As soon as I lifted the lid I knew this thing was solid. I was also very curious about the infrared cooking. I got one that wasn't assembled because I just wanted to do it myself. Taking it out of the box I noticed the side of the cabinet was pushed in and the door didn't shut right. Management at my local store was awesome and after a couple of days brought me a new one and picked up the damaged one. It was a minor issue, but I figured for the money I wanted it to be perfect. By the way, after putting it together myself and looking at the ones in the store, the people who assemble the grills are not using all the hardware like lock washers, etc. Think about that before you get it assembled.
Ok, I fired it up. It's kinda weird because you hear the flames roaring but when you look in you don't see anything. It heats up real fast, had it up to over 500 degrees in minutes. My first meal was beef skewers that had been marinated and some asparagus. WOW! The beef cooked perfectly with great grill marks. The asparagus got a great char on the outside and stayed crisp. This thing seems to have very even heat with no hot spots. The next day I cooked some quarter pound burgers. They were awesome, perfectly pink in the middle and really juicy. I know it's early and I've got a lot more experimenting to do but I'm very happy with this grill and I hate to say it, but I already like it better than the Weber that it replaced. Hopefully it will last as long. If you like to cook more than just burgers and dogs, spend a little extra and get this grill, you'll love it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great grill!
,PostedMay 17, 2010
We love this grill. No flare ups from flames, no burned food. Food cooks more evenly. It does cook a little slower than my previous grill, but only because the previous grill burned the outside and did not cook the inside. Great flavor! Easier to clean. I haven't used the side burner yet. Ignition start works great. Temperature is easy to control. I also bought a smoker box for it to sit in the tray below. Be careful. Other places sell Char Broil Red, but they are different models. They don't have the drip tray underneath and have holes that allow the food drippings to flare up and clog. After much comparison shopping, this is the one to get!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Best Bang for the Buck
,PostedMay 15, 2010
Shopped around and found this grill to be the best bang for my buck. Simple to assemble, if you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be operating a gas grill. Grilling is faster and less of a hassle. Follow the included grilling guide first to get the feel for the infrared heat and then experiment on your own. Best food I ever prepared.
