Char-Griller 5030 2-Burner Gas & Charcoal Grill Dual Function, Black

I am really impressed with the quality of this grill. it took a little to put together, but what doesn't these days

Got this for my parents, they already owned the same bbq and really wanted the same. Their first one lasted them 8 years and is still good enough to use, they just thought it time for a new one. I also own this exact bbq, got it second hand, its about 3 years old and still perfect. You seriously cant go wrong with this bbq, both sides are a good size and it takes up less room than owning both a propane and charcoal bbq. I highly suggest it and would absolutely buy it again should mine ever stop working.

Très satisfaite de mon achat. Belle qualité

I've had this grill for a little over a month, and have been using it quite a bit. I'm very pleased. I'm a pretty good handyman, and assembly is a bit challenging, mainly because of the size and weight of the parts. This is a HEAVY grill. Shipping weight is approximately 125 pounds, and that doesn't include a propane tank. All of the main components are sheet metal rather than castings, but it is very heavy gauge. There is nothing about this grill that looks or feels flimsy. The finish appears to be matte powder coat, and is high quality and looks like it should be very durable. It was well packaged and arrived with no damage. The temperature is a bit difficult to regulate on both the gas and charcoal sides. I've found that one gas burner lit and set to its lowest setting gives you a steady temp of about 300 degrees. Both burners on low gives a temp of about 350-375 degrees. You could easily get it up to 500 degrees with both burners on high. The charcoal side is another story. It's almost impossible to keep it below 400 degrees, however I have cooked a range of different meats from shrimp to chicken pieces, to chicken halves, to ribeye steaks, and have been totally happy with the results. You just have to keep a close eye on it. If you completely shut off the air vent the temperature will gradually drop. Leaving the vent closed will eventually snuff out the fire. I only use good quality lump charcoal (no briquets with their binders, additives, and sometimes even coal, believe it or not... YUCK), and there's always a fair amount of unburned charcoal left to give me a start for the next time I use it. I've been using the grill 2-3 times per week and I'm still on my first 20 pound bag of charcoal. I've had several different grills over the years, from one of the cheap square charcoal grills, and several gas grills from a really cheap, basic grill, to a heavy cast pedestal grill, and most recently a KitchenAid all stainless grill that cost just about the same as this one 15 years ago. This Char-Griller grill easily beats all of them in quality and sturdiness. Definitely buy the custom cover if you're going to keep the grill outside. It's very well made and is well worth the price. It even has a section that expands out to cover the accessory smoker box if you decide to add one.

I love this BBQ. It is awesome. Now building this suckered took some time but was straight forward and not overly complicated. If I want to take my time I cook on the charcoal side if I'm in a hurry I use the propane side. I've cooked so many meals on it and they've all turned out great. I have one of those green egg deals and it sucks I hate it. I have a stick burner off set smoker and while I love it I don't always have all day to baby sit it. This grill has been absolutely perfect. I 100% recommend it if you don't need a ton of space to cook on (it's just my wife and I typically) and want some flexibility in how much prep time you need.
