The Char-Broil also features an instant-on propane tank, so your preheat time is only about minutes. Luckily, this grill from Char-Broil comes with 500 square inches of space, which is more than enough to cater for most of your grilling. When combined its neighboring side burner and drying rack, the total cooking area of it comes to 660 square inches. This generally means that the grill comes with a dedicated rotisserie burner; the motor and spit are usually purchased separately.
I spent the better part of two weeks grilling on the Char-Broil Performance XL. It looks good, performs well and at $299, it was the most affordable grill we tested. I’d recommend the Char-Broil Performance XL to beginners and grillmasters alike.
Some average-size grills have up to four burners with corresponding controls large grills often have six. Additional burner controls generally allow the cook more flexibility. This indicates grill temperature when only one or two of the burners are on, to represent a cooking task where the food is placed between or alongside the direct flame. So, you can use it to indirectly cook or grill, but it won’t char your food. This Char-Broil gas grill scores above average and reaches its maximum temperature pretty quickly.
The side burner on the Char-Broil Performance Gas Grill gives you extra cooking space, in addition to the 500 square inches you get on the grill’s surface. You’ll also find the rust-resistant cast-iron grates provide impressive durability. This grill char broil performance uses the Surefire Electronic Ignition System for reliable one-touch starts every time. The cooking area is about 300 square inches primary and 100 square inches on the warming rack. It’s on the smaller side of grills, so this is to be expected.
As we stated earlier, you’ll need to assemble this grill when you get it out of its box. However, several users report that they needed a hand to put everything together. On the flip side, we were hoping to have more than one color to choose from. We also would have liked the unit more if it had stainless steel grates.
