great design, small size, unique product!
OK, this grill doesn't get as hot as the much bigger, much more expensive weber-type grills with multiple burners. That said, it still easily gets hot enough to cook a decently thick new york steak in just a few minutes per side. And as far as cooking with the lid off-- what do you expect for a lousy [money amount]!?!

On top of that, it's PERFECT for those with small apartment style balconies. It's economical on gas-- I use it pretty regularly and have yet to go through an entire large tank of propane in over six months of use. It's the perfect size if you're grilling a quick steak or two (or up to 6 or 7 hamburger patties) for one person.

The grill itself has the large gratings that leave pleasant, savory grillmarks on the meat. It's easy to clean, and doesn't cling onto charcoal and carbon like other grills seem to. The lid also has thoughtful little hooks on the inside part of the assembly screws, making it easy to hang the lid on the lip of barbeque itself instead of having to set it down somewhere. The little temperature guage on the front is useful for telling how fast the inside grill temp is heating up (essential for preheating the grill, something you should always do before cooking), although I don't rely on its accuracy in cooking/timing meat.

This is a great grill, a great idea, and great execution at a very attractive price. It's shown that it holds up extremely well after nine months of use, and I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Those with the space/backyards and multi-family sized barbeque needs should look elsewhere, but just looking at it should tell you that. For the rest of us doing some quick grilling for 1-2 people, this could be the perfect grill.

Great grill with nice features
I bought one of these grills three years ago to replace the standard aging $100 gas grill. It heats up quickly and cooks very nicely. The grill has wide flat porcelein bars instead of the thin chromed wires you would expect at this price. The lid has a thremometer built in, a nice touch. The grill is round, which doesn't leave hot and cold spots like some rectangular grill exhibit. The burner design is very simple, the top of the gas tube opens beneath a round cast heating plate which distributes heat very evenly. After three years, the grill shows no signs of aging.

My ex-wife got the grill, so I just bought another one yesterday. The quality and great features are still there.

Good, but not Great
This is a perfect grill for small groups. I typically only grill for my wife and I so the size is perfect. It wasn't too difficult to assemble and the parts machining is excellent, everything fit together very well. I have only 2 problems with this grill. First, the hangers you attach to the lid to allow you to hang the lid from the side of the grill are quite a pain when placing the lid. Makes it difficult for the lid to fit snugly. Not a problem, I'll just take the hangers off as they don't work that well anyway. Second, I grilled on it 2 days ago, on a fairly calm day weather wise. For some reason the flame kept going out. Took me an hour to grill 4 steaks, should have only taken 20 minutes. Not sure what causes this problem as I haven't ready anyone else experiencing it. It's annoying enough that it keeps the grill from getting 5 stars.

only one problem
we love the size of this grill.it is easy to keep clean.we are looking to buy another one and give our old one to our friends.the problem i found was the front leg rusted and broke away from the frame.

Great for apartment patio
This thing is great. It's not suited for a 20-person cookout but for cooking for 1 or 2 people, or 3 times that many on occassion, it's great. I used full-sized propane tanks and they last over a year with using the grill 3 - 4 times a week for steaks, chicken, or fish. I HIGHLY recommend this product for apartment dwellers who want a gas grill but don't have the space for a full-sized unit. ... Read more

Dangerous
This grill was difficult to light, would not stay lit when the least bit windy, and needed to be run at high or near to high. Consequently, when grilling some chicken, the entire grill caught fire. The handle on the far side from the gas bottle started initially and then the paint on the body burned. Flames shot up two feet. I was able to disconnect the gas before the burning paint reached that side. Needless to say I was terribly concerned.

You get what you pay for
I bought one of these to use for car camping. It's OK for hotdogs and (thin) burgers, but forget about pork chops or chicken. It either wouldn't stay lit or wouldn't get hot enough if the wind was blowing a little.

I replaced it with the Weber Q and couldn't be happier.

Great Little Portable Cooker
I own this grill and it is very portable and very

inexpensive, great for cooking for up to 15 people.

Very light, cooks steaks and chicken in no time flat.

The legs flip on to secure the lid for easy carrying.

A great grill at a fantastic price.

Portable fire is a great thing!
I received this grill in the mail...promptly. Although it was a little flimsier than I'd like, it is still a great grill. The ease of setup and the cooking ability that you get are worth WAY more than the price. NO MORE LAVA ROCKS!!!

Do yourself a favor...buy either this one or the Weber portable. But look at it this way, for the price of the Weber, you could buy TWO of these!!!

Best camping grill for the price!
We do a lot of "camping" at stock car racing events, and for years have used a worn-out cast iron hibachi to grill the burgers and dogs. While burning charcoal on the old hibachi always succeeded in getting us fed, it was long overdue for replacement.

We decided to upgrade to a portable gas grill, and this is the model we bought. It has truly been night and day from the hibachi!

Just the fact that it has a lid was a huge improvement! And what a concept to not have to wait for the coals to burn down, only to fight to keep the fire consistent. The grilltop is not only larger than the hibachi's, but much more stable than the 2 "paddle" style tops the hibachi used.

Overall, I am very pleased that we replaced the hibachi with this grill - for the price, it can't be beat as a portable grill! ... Read more

Good grill, but a few problems
I bought this grill about 6 weeks ago at a local home improvement store. My grill is the all-stainless steel model, although it has the exact same model number - 463243904.

I really liked this grill at first, but found that it is not designed to be left outdoors. The instructions say you can't use it indoors either. After the first rainstorm, the fancy battery operated electronic ignition quit working. I opened the apparently weatherproof battery compartment and found it was full of water. I let it dry out for a week, retightened and rechecked everything, but had the same problem after the next rainstorm.

I called CharBroil and they told me, "Oh.... You can't expect your grill to work if you leave it outside in the rain!" Glad I bought an all-stainless steel grill! By the way, a lot of the rivets and screws holding the grill together are rusting - after only 6 weeks of use.

Instead of the older style gas burner under briquettes, this grill has the burner directly under the cooking surface. It requires less preheating, but I think I liked cooking over briquettes better. This grill uses a drip pan that drains into a grease cup. The grease cup fills up with water when it rains. The drip pan must be cleaned a lot more often than I would like. My old grill didn't use a drip pan. All the grease just burned off and added to the char broiled flavor.

I would probably not buy this grill again. I looked at a lot of grills before I made my purchase. I really didn't like the apparent durability of any of them. The grill I bought did not live up to my expectations. I figure that if I am going to be dissatisfied, I can be dissatisfied for a lot less money! ... Read more

Tailgaters - this is your grill!
I ordered this grill once I saw the price drop to $$$$ with free shipping (and the bbq tools bonus). I purchased it mainly for tailgating since I have a nice Webber for home use.

Setup
The grill was VERY easy to set up initially (it comes assembled, except for the wheels which were easy to attach). The side trays (2 of them) slide on and off easily. The gas canister (not included) attaches in two simple steps.

Use
The grill goes up and down by use of a foot pedal. It doesn't go down as easy as it goes up, but this could be me getting use to it. You light the grill through the use of a "sparker" button. You can also light it with a match and an extension wand. The side trays also hold the tools that come included (tongs, spatula, and grill scraper). The grill portion is about 2/3 of the entire grill with the flat griddle taking up the final 1/3. Grease dips along a channel into a collection jug.

Cooler
The top slides off for access. There are cup holders in the top of the lid (not very useful though). There is a drain plus in the side at the bottom. The cooler kept ice for over 24 hours in 90 plus degree heat. It held a bottle of wine, six beers, two steaks, two medium tupperware containers, and six bottles of water - with space left over. There is a bottle opener on the side of the grill.

Clean up
The tools that come with the grill are plastic (because of the non-stick nature of the cooking surface). The grill top itself comes off and can be cleaned in the sink (the back of it is unfinnished so I would not put it in the DW). The grease jug cleans easily as well.

Downside
(1) In windy conditions (like a parking lot for tailgaiting) you could have a tough time lighting the grill. There are holes in the back of the grill itself, bring the wind in. I turned the grill out of the direct wind and it lit well.

(2) Heat - now this could be the temp gauge, but it never showed the grill getting hot enough to cook (it shows three levels - warming, cooking, and too hot). It was always on the high-end of warming. Now the food coooked fine (two thick steaks and some roast potatoes), and this could be me getting used to the grill, but I wanted to mention it.

(3) Weight of the grill. With a full cooler the grill is heavy. It has two side handles (and a pulling strap), but it was tough getting it in and out of the back of our minivan.

Overall - I love this grill. We went to the Springsteen concert the other night and had a half dozen people come up and ask us about it - someone thought it cost $$$$. The guys across from us had the same grill without the cooler and were jealous of the cooler.

Great cooler, okay grill
I bought the fire and ice grill from amazon and had the same delay in shipping problems and damages that other people refered to, nothing I wasn't expecting. I also saw one at walmart that was dented during shipping. I'm sure I'll put a few dents in it myself, so who cares.

The cooler is top-notch! Unlike most coolers, if you want to get something out of it, you don't have to take everything off of the top because it slides back to open instead of tilting up. We brought the cooler to the beach because of the big tires and someone figured out how great a feature that is. They also thought it looked great!

My grill doesn't get that hot, I'm not sure if it is defective, but it is an issue. I'll recomend it still because no one else has really said anything about the heating and I think it is just mine.

Now you're cooking!
We bought the grill for 128 dollars to take camping at Dave Matthews this summer. I logged on today and it's up to 150 now. Ouch! It's very worth it though. It's very classy and compact. I love the grilling size and I'm looking forward to having this baby at the concert.

Only downfall is the shipping. This isn't shipped UPS. It's shipped from some company called Eagle and they don't deliver on the weekends because their contract with Amazon doesn't let them. Most people work M-F and they only deliver M-F 8-5. Not everyone is available during that time. It took us two weeks to even get our grill because of this.

Other then that I'm thrilled and would suggest this grill to anyone.

Fire & Ice Thermos Grill
We have found this grill to be perfect for camping out. It can handle breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cooler is great extra space for storing condiments, cold salads and lunch meats.

We look forward to using it for tailgating this football season. The cooler should handle keeping the meat cold going to the game and store drinks while cooking.

We also use the grill at home for meals when it's too hot inside to heat up the stove. We've really used it everywhere for quick grilling.

We still use our big grill for briskets, ribs, turkey and other big items.

Like it but...
We bought this for a camping trip and got lots of oohs and aahs from everyone who saw it. Overall we liked it but it lacks one crucial element--a burner. The entire cook surface is non-stick so you can't really place a pan or skillet on it to cook. You're supposed to put the food directly on it but what if you are warming up chili? Water? It's great for burgers or bacon but you can't put just anything on it. I would think it would be more appropriate for tailgaiting than camping where you need it to do a bit more. ... Read more

Great Grill for the Price $ $ $ $
I was going to buy a weber, but settled on this, which was about 300.00 cheaper
Great grill, lots of space, easy to put together

Great Grill for the $$$$!
I was ready to pay up to $300 for a grill and decided on this one. For the money you get a grill that is easy to assemble (less than an hour - no tools), a side burner, good quality, double top rack and even fast cooking. I was looking for the latest "stainless steel" grill, but they are much more money.
The price is cheap the quality is not! I am very happy with this grill. At the time I purchased the grill, Amazon did have the cheapest price even including the shipping.

Good grill
Seems like a good grill for the price. The instructions were somewhat murky at one point in the construction. No problems otherwise at this point in time.

Good Buy
Hubster and I put this grill together yesterday. It only took about an hour and no tools are required. It is not the most solid thing in the world which is why I gave it 4 stars.

We had our first bbq today and after a few tries to ignite the grill, everything worked out fine. The food cooked evenly and plenty of space to prep food.

Nice grill
I've had this grill for about 3 months and am very happy with it.

For a two-burner grill it has plenty of cooking area, more than enough to cook for a bbq with 10-15 people.

Porcelain grill is easy to clean up.

I cook on it about 2-3 tims a week. ... Read more

Buy it for looks don't buy it for life/performance
I purchased this grill at Kmart at a discount (under $300) about three months ago. The grill appealed to me for its partial stainless steel construction and enclosed under-body. It was easy to assemble and most parts appeared to be of solid construction. Unfortunately, problems appeared immediately after the first use. Namely, the pan designed to capture grease and other particles did not do a good job. Grease is leaking into the cabinet and onto my porch despite proper installation and grill standing on a perfect level surface. Also, the construction of the grill causes frequent and large flare-ups. Most of the flare-ups occur in the far section of the crates, where cross-ignition tubes trap dripping grease. In addition, the cooking surface temperature is highly uneven with much hotter temperatures at the far end of the crates (even when flare-ups are not causing it). On the plus side, electronic ignition system works beautifully so far.
Bottom line is; I would not purchase it again despite attractive looks. ... Read more

Mine served me well
I got one of these grills as a hand-me-down from my cool big brother (who graduated to a plumbed natural-gas grill). Though it had a few years on it when I got it, the char-broil served me well. It cooked smoothly and evenly, didn't consume too much gas, and was the focus of many a happy day of outdoor cooking. It finally fell prey to rust at a ripe old age. It was replaced with a Kenmore, which has never been quite so satisfying, despite being more rust-resistant.

PS: Never buy a grill with a side-burner. They are darn near worthless.

Nice, affordable grill
This was the first gas grill I have purchased, having always used charcoal grills. My family has really enjoyed using this grill - so much faster than charcoal. We have had minimal flare-ups with this grill, it cooks evenly and is fairly easy to clean. I have seen this grill at a cheaper price offline, but in researching prices online, Amazon beat other stores hands down. I would recommend this grill to anyone buying a gas grill for the first time. ... Read more

just OK
After half a season, the plastic handle, plastic preparation surface, electronic ignition and cooking grates either weathered to the point of not being able to be used, or broke outright. Replacement parts are very hard to find.
Will not buy another Char-Broil item again.

Great grill for too much money
I purchased this identical grill last year, except for the sideburner grate was different and the "whatever" caddy on the front did not come with mine. I paid [$$] for the grill( on sale ) and the tank combined. Basically it's still the very same gas grill. The Thermos boys have slapped their name plate on it also. Any Joe can put their tag on it, however, it doesn't compromise the great outdoor cookin'.

I have no complaints from this grill as of yet. Well only one. The top rack of the two tiered hood rack kept slipping out of the hole on the right side. Remedy: find the adequate size split washer to crimp on, squeeze on with the ol' pliers. It's still holding.

I wouldn't want any other grill. So pleased with this lower priced model. I believe the perfect fish, game or poultry depends on the cook, not the equipment. But descent grills help a ton.

This weekend I'm attempting to smoke a turkey breast. God help me! I purchased two smoker boxes and an expandable ceramic grate at [a local store], 'twas the perfect fit for the grate into my grill. I tried it out on the store floor model that was like mine. It rested on the walls as well as the splatter guard of the burner unit. Better to do it there than have to return it...right?

Your best cooking comes from trial and error. You may need to modify your grill for the like...well you paid for it, so you can do what you want to the beast.

Tip of the day: If you think the ignitor is shucking out on you, try this--push it in slow. A few days ago I was [ticked] that it took the ignitor 7 to 10 times to ignite. I bought a replacement. Before I hooked up the new one I tested the old one by pushing it in slowly. It worked 3 out of 3 times that I tried it on the first push.

Good but not great gas grill

Great Grill!
Great grill that goes both ways... Nice and big, very even heating. Have used it for about 2 weeks straight! Not one problem.

Don't buy unless your homeowners insurance is paid up...
First, the good news:
While this grill was not trivial to assemble, CharBroil did helpfully include a large sheet of white paper to set the tiny parts on, so they do not fall in between your deck boards. Quite a nice, thoughtful touch.

After assembly, I hauled the included tank to the gas station, and had them fill 'er up. I performed all the required leak tests when getting home, but did not use it for a couple of weeks.

Yesterday, I fired it up for the first time and started letting it preheat. That went just fine. I then went inside to start getting out the hot dogs I wanted to grill. After a couple of minutes, my wife came to inform me that the grill was smoking and flames were poofing out the side. I figure this is just finish smoking some, and she is overreacting. My mistake. I get there just in time to watch a jet of Liquid Propane shoot out of the side of the regulator assembly that attaches to the tank. I of course immediately shut off the burners, scooted the grill to the other side of the deck and shut the tank valve while I waited for the puddle of explosive propane to boil off. Quite an exciting few seconds. I can only imagine what would have happened if the leak was pointed at the hot bottom of the grill instead of the ground.

What I figured happened is that the regulator seals were good enough to seal at room temperature. However, when the regulator was chilled by the actual flow of propane (something that does not happen in a static leak test), the metal contracted, the rubber lost elasticity, and the seals failed catastrophically. Think Challenger.

While this defect may have been a random fluke, I will definately have the fire extinguisher handy when I have the replacement part in hand. If that leaks too, back to the hardware store it goes.

UPDATE:
The replacement part leaked too. CharBroil then told me that oops, it must be that my tank is overfilled. I had it weighed, and nope, that wasn't it either. When they told me I must have a defective tank, I gave up on CharBroil trying to fix it. Too many guesses for me. This was after several weeks of trying in vain to get a callback. Luckily [the store] took it back over two months after I bought it without a hassle.

As a side note, as I was disassembling it to fit in my brother's SUV for the trip back to the store, I noticed that several parts were already rusting after only 2 1/2 months, all of it under a grill cover. What an unmitigated piece of junk, backed by truly pathetic service. ... Read more

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. Added conveniences include; a side shelf with ample space and access to basting sauces; an extra side burner; and a grease clip that hangs empty cans to catch drippings. 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.
