Char-Broil® Classic Series™ Convective 3-Burner with Side Burner Propane Gas Stainless Steel Grill - 463773817-P2

Great little grill for the money. Bit of a pain to assemble but take your time and it'll come. So far I've cooked some burgers and chops no issues with sticking as I've been seasoning it with oil. I plan on adding some hooks via some wood, screw in hooks and a magnet.

I have many friends that have very expensive BBQ grills and all of them do the same thing. A gas grill gives you quick control over the level of heat. A larger grill gives you more room to cook and the ability to cook various items at the same time at various temperatures. I have never been able to tell the difference in the cooking ability between really expensive grills and the good ol Char- Broil. This is a new design for me to cook on with the tubular gas delivery system so I was a little doubtful it would give a wide even distribution of heat. To my pleasure it works great and delivers heat evenly across the surface. I might swap out the gas regulator to give me a larger flame for those items I like a good fire char on but overall this grill is great. I dont care what the experts say about charred food being bad for you, i like the taste and eating food is more than just giving your body fuel, its all about the taste and pleasure of eating. I also like the grill surface because its corrosion resistant and easy to clean. The heat registers are easy to take out to do a full cleaning and re-assembly is quick and easy, everything fits together well. Initial assembly requires common sense and it helps to look at the instructions and pictures. Overall it went together easily and seems solid enough to last for 5-10 years. I'm a daily griller so its gotta be tough to last at my house. The one downfall of this grill is the lack of a cover over the side burner. That was easily fixed by building a dual purpose burner cover/cutting board that gives me extra "counter" space on my grill for spices and a grillside board if I need to do any cutting while I cook.

I grill a lot (multiple times a week, year round). The last grill I had was a 3-burner Char-Griller (NOT Char-Broil) that paid for itself multiple times over. It lasted a few years and the only thing I ever had to replace were the flavorizer shields over the burners. Everything else was factory original. By the time I wheeled the old Char-Griller to the curb, it was well past its expiration date. It left a trail of rust flakes all the way out of the yard. It still worked well enough, but the sheetmetal body was starting to get eaten away with rust holes, and the grates on top were starting to rust. I would've bought another one, but the prices have more than doubled on the Char-Griller. I originally paid $179 for it. The last time I saw a 3-burner propane Char-Griller available on Amazon, it was going for almost $400. No thanks. I spotted this Char-Broil 3-burner grill for about $200. Covid has more or less destroyed supply chains the world over. Even steel has been difficult to get, and things like appliances and gas grills are sometimes hard to come by. But, I needed a grill, and $200 is a not-completely-unreasonable price for a 3-burner model in our Covid world. Assembly is straightforward. I got it done in a little over an hour, but I made sure to lay everything out and read the directions carefully. Sometimes I shoot from the hip, and even though this thing is not difficult to put together, there are a lot of fasteners and small parts that have to go in the correct location. It goes together with simple hand tools, but I cheated and used a cordless impact driver. BE CAREFUL or you'll twist the head right off some of the screws. I snugged them down with the driver then checked them with a manual screwdriver and experienced no trouble. My old grill had a cast aluminum lid, an electric igniter, and a built-in thermostat. This one is made entirely of steel stampings, uses a piezo igniter, and if you want a thermostat you'd better bring one with you. To be honest, it doesn't feel as solid as my old Char-Griller, but I don't care. I've used it a couple of dozen times already and it does everything I need it to do. I don't miss any of the other stuff the Char-Griller had-- this one works fine. A big plus for this one is access to the tank valve. I shut the propane tank off after every use so that I don't come back to an empty propane tank if the hose or regulator fail. Doing this on the old Char-Griller required the dexterity of a contortionist because the tank was stuck way under the top of the grill. On this grill the tank is fairly far out, which makes opening and closing the valve a breeze. I didn't realize what a chore it was to do this on my old grill until I didn't have to do it any more. Tank changes should be easier as well, though I haven't had to do that yet. In short, I'm glad I bought this grill. It works well, is easy to put together, and wasn't too expensive. It's clearly an inexpensive, bare-bones model, but it does everything that it needs to do.

Took about an hour to put together. If you're mechanically inclined, it's not too hard. Those who don't like tedious, small pieces, might do well to buy one already assembled from a big box store. This is a lot cheaper than buying it there, though.

At $200, this is a great "Bang For The Buck"! Hardware is clearly marked, parts fit together very well, and assembly instructions are accurate and clear. assembly total time was less than two hours. However, if you are not mechanical, can't follow assembly instructions, or don't have good tools, do not buy this, as you will frustrate yourself.

Setting up this grill was the worst! It took 2 hours plus some and I still haven't been able to figure out the side burner. The instruction are all photos, and the pieces are numbered in the photos but NOT numbered on the actual pieces themselves! We ended up finding a YouTube video that was super helpful. After set up we went to start it and the ignition does not work! I said screw it and threw a match in to light it! That said, it does work well and has a nice, even cook. It seems sturdy and is easy to clean. It isn't heavy and is easy to move around the patio as needed.

The Char-Broil Classic 360 3-Burner Grill is a really good buy! I purchased the grill with the side burner. Assembly is going to take you a while. There are a lot of screws and parts to put together. Assembly took me around 4 hours. However, it is well worth the trouble. This grill looks great. It has a very modern look. If you are single, a couple, or a small family, this is the grill to purchase. It has plenty of cooking space, and should be able to handle as much food to be grilled as you need. This grill heats up fast, and does a great job! I have owned several grills over the years, and the Char-Broil grill is as good or better than the other grills I have owned that cost a lot more. This is a solid basic grill without all the bells and whistles which most of us really don't need. If you are looking for a grill that works great, this grill should work perfectly for you. Shipping was fast, and the grill arrived early. The box was really beat up, but the contents were in perfect shape. Good Purchase!

I really like this grill and use it especially in the summer when it's too hot to cook indoors. I use this to slow roast a brisket and a pork butt using indirect heating and both came out fantastic! The tiny grease pot didn't cut it, though, but placing a foil roasting pan from the dollar store underneath the grill solved this issue. ;) Both took over 10 hrs to cook and one burner on low kept a steady temp around 225f the entire time. You'll need to know how to put things together and take your time assembling it. Over the next few days after I used it a couple times, I went back and tightened down screws and bolts that needed it after the metal expanded and contracted from normal heating. As for the value, I have used $400+ grills and this one performs just as well in my opinion. Plus, I have a side burner that the others didn't have which I've used for making sauces, rice, and even boiling potatoes. I burns about 1# of fuel with all burners on medium per hour for me so a 20# tank will last me about a month of cooking several times a week. The cotter pins make removing the burners a snap making it easy to clean underneath them so I don't have any flare-ups from collected gunk burning when I grill the next time. I'm going to try smoking with it this weekend so I'll post back and tell how that went.
