This versatile grill/smoker in one is ideal for the grill master who likes to cook entire meals--or even every meal--on the grill. The Big Easy works as a gas grill, operating at 36,000 BTU to heat the three stainless-steel VersaFlame burners evenly for perfectly cooked meals. The porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking surface enables you to cook just about anything on this grill. The Big Easy’s grates are perfect for traditionally grilled meats, such as chicken, steaks, or hamburgers. A two-sided removable griddle fixes pancakes and eggs on its smooth side that taste like they’re right from the campground, while the opposite ridged side is ideal for grilling peppers, onions, or other veggies. Additionally, The Big Easy has a cast-iron deep dish that makes great stir-fried or deep-fried foods on the grill. A flush-mounted side burner, operating on 8,000 BTU, heats up baked beans or other side dishes from your cast-iron deep dish without taking up valuable grilling space. After grilling, all cooking surfaces are easy to clean for the next cookout. When you’re ready to prepare smoked foods on your grill, simply fill the SmokerTents that are protecting the burners with wood chips and you’re ready to go. This cooker’s large hood can accommodate a big ham or even a Thanksgiving turkey to feed a crowd so there are no limitations to what you can smoke. The Big Easy has a condiment basket for holding all your extras, and an additional weather-resistant side shelf for holding plates of food or grilling tools. The Big Easy sets up in just minutes and comes with its own gas tank, which is easy to replace with the grill’s unique Tilt Tank feature. Char-Broil provides a lifetime warranty on The Big Easy’s cast-aluminum top and bottom, a five-year warranty on the burner system, and a one-year warranty on all other parts. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Very good for the price
I had a Sunbeam grill that I hated. I replaced the burners so many times, I could do it with my eyes closed. Then I needed new grates and couldn't find any that were a direct fit. I bought some adjustable grates and wired them together to make do. Finally, I had enough. I saw this Char-Broil (actually it was the previous incarnation of this model) at a Home Depot and bought it without a second thought. Knowing the experience I'd had with the Sunbeam, I also bought a spare burner.

It was not a relationship that started out beautifully. It was 102 degrees by the thermometer in my backyard when I opened the box. There were no instructions for assembly. I took out all the parts and thought, "How hard can it be. It doesn't require tools." But I couldn't figure it out. So I called the 800 number for Char-Broil customer assistance. If the temperature wasn't hot enough already, talking to three morons at this number made the mercury rise even more. Absolutely no customer assistance whatsoever. While I held on for an eternity as one of the service representatives tried to find some type of reference material, I finally realized there were parts missing from the box. So I called Home Depot and they told me to bring it back. They exchanged the grill for one already assembled.

That was the only bad experience I've had with this grill. It has continued to work well for the last three years. The igniter died in short order (to be expected, after all) but I'm about to begin my fourth summer cooking on this grill and it still has the original burner installed and the spare has never been out of the box. I use it year-round. It's left outside in a sheltered area. It doesn't get a whole lot of attention. It continues to cook right on along. In the past week, I've done a brisquet, a pot roast and a few burgers.

I prefer to cook on charcoal or to use an offset firebox smoker with charcoal and wood coals. But having a gas grill is convenient, requires less set-up and less clean-up. There's not a lot of refinement to this model Char-Broil. It's relatively cheap and kind of ugly. But it has proven to be reliable and easy to use for a number of years. If it self-destructs tomorrow, I will have gotten my money's worth. Highly recommended. ... Read more

X marks the spot for this durable, affordable, and remarkably easy-to-assemble gas grill. The distinctive X-shaped frame with tough cast-aluminum construction provides a sturdy base for all your grilling adventures, while the satin nickel legs and navy blue finish have an eye-catching modern look. The powerful, dual-burner Evenflame cooking system with push-button ignition gives out 35,000 BTU of even heat across the grilling surface, eliminating hot spots and the burned or underdone meats that result. Weather-resistant side shelves with attached tool holders provide plenty of space for prepping food or storing sauces and marinades while you grill. Porcelain cooking grates are naturally nonstick, making for easy cleanup and entrees that flip intact, and the ample hood provides plenty of cooking room for even large roasts. Best of all, the Quickset grill consists of factory pre-assembled modules that fit together quickly without tools, meaning you'll go from box to barbecue in minutes. All parts are covered by the extensive Char-Broil warranty: lifetime for the cast-aluminum top and bottom, three years for the burner system, and one year on all other parts. The Char-Broil Quickset measures 33 by 23-1/2 by 23-1/4 inches and weighs 75 pounds for shipping. --Mary Park ... Read more

This Quickset model has a porcelain grate, and Evenflame 40,000 BTU grill system that enables users to evenly cook burgers, veggie kabobs, or salmon fillets.

The rotary igniter and temperature control knobs also add to the grills versatile cooking. A battery-operated handle light is ideal for cooking at night. The grill does not include batteries for the handle light and the liquid propane tank is purchased separately. Use the grill outdoors only.

Great, but better prices not @ Amazon
This is a wonderful powerful, and sturdy grill. It is great for smoking because of the tall lid, and ease of use with misquite. The themometer is accurate and comes in handy for telling you when the grill is ready. Thermos makes this same model (its the Thermos QuickSet EvenFlame 40,000 BTU grill, except it is discontinued, so Char Broil took over. Exact same design, different logo. I got the Thermos discontinued model at Target (not online, but at the store) for 150. That's almost 100 dollars cheaper. Anyway, this is a highly recommended grill, especially if you can get your hands on the cheap ones! ... Read more

Ugh, this thing is terrible
Where's the heat?! Where's the flame? If you like cooking hamburgers on a frying pan, this is for you? If you want flame broiled burgers and hot dogs, stay away from this. I got rid of mine and immediately bought a Weber Baby Q for the same price as this thing and it's an infinitely better product.

Good for the Money
For the money, I have been pleased with this grill. It generates more heat that I expected. Certainly, there are better grills on the market, but for a portable grill that produces good heat at a great price, this is the one. The base is stable, the temp gauge is handy, and the removable and dishwasher-safe cooking plate makes clean-up a little easier (but good luck finding a dishwasher that will fit it). My only real complaint is that the unit is difficult to carry around because the grill unit does not latch onto the base so much as it sits on it.

Price
Just saw this same grill at Menards for $89.95 today

price comparison
You can buy the same grill at Lowes for $117.00

Convenient but where's the heat?
Convenient, compact and looks great on the porch/back of your truck but what about the heat? I'm an Aussie and I like my "barbies" hot! Okay for cooking small amounts of meat but if you want to slap on a steak for a quick grilling, a more substantial hot plate would be nice. ... Read more
