Although it’s not that much larger than the Performance version, the additional features come with extra parts that require careful attention. For best results, we would recommend inviting a friend or family member to help put this Blackstone Adventure one together. All told, it should take about two hours to put together the Performance grill. The instructions are direct and easy to follow, and the packaging job is generally efficient, although this may depend on the retailer.
The wheels on the Performance grill are more reasonably proportioned than the ones on the Commercial version, which are fairly small when you consider the unit’s size. Here, we’ll talk about some of the features you should look for in a gas grill to see how the Performance and Commercial series hold up. To make your final decision easier, we’ve included a winner for each category. We stock a large inventory of Char-Broil original equipment and exact fit OEM replacement parts.
Even novices should have no problem operating the Char-Broil. Starting it requires a turn of a valve and the push of a button. From there, twin knobs let you control flame height to give you access to precise temperature control. Cooking Hamburgers, ribs, hot dogs, or even fish (if you’re into that) should be easy on this model. But the one thing I can not figure out is why, after all these years that grills have been around, why am I still burning my arm hair every time I open UP the lid?? It just seems like in these modern times a design would have emerged that could eliminate the problem.
This will let you use every square inch of burner space while cooking rather than confining all your items to the area of the grill that gets hottest. Despite its narrow footprint, Blackstone Adventure you still get 350 square inches of cooking space — ample room enough for 15 burgers. As we mentioned, Char Broil is a good place to begin if you’re shopping on a budget.
It does come with a labeled blister pack of hardware, which makes it easy to stay organized. Flare-ups should rarely happen, if at all, with this grill, especially with the convection cooking system, which reduces flare-ups and ensures even heat distribution. We’ll also look at the pros and cons, ease of assembly, use, and cleanup of this grill, so you can decide if this is the right grill for your next big cookout.
