Quick answer
Char-Broil's line-up covers compact 2-burner Advantage models, mid-size Convective grills, and the Gas2Coal hybrids that switch between gas and charcoal. The brand is known for solid heat distribution technology and dependable build at mid-range prices. Choose Advantage or Convective for straightforward gas grilling, or Gas2Coal if you want charcoal flavour on demand as well.
What to look for
Decide first whether you want the Gas2Coal hybrid capability or pure gas. Within the gas range, match the burner count to your household - 2-burner for small spaces, 4-burner for families. Char-Broil's heat distribution systems help avoid the hot and cold spots that plague cheaper grills. Check the grate material and whether the model includes a lid thermometer and side burner.

Frequently asked questions
Are Char-Broil gas BBQs good?
Yes - Char-Broil is a long-established brand with a solid reputation for even heat distribution and dependable build at mid-range prices. The Advantage and Convective ranges are well-regarded family barbecues, and the Gas2Coal hybrids are among the best-known dual-fuel options. They sit between budget brands and premium Weber on both price and build.
What is Char-Broil Gas2Coal?
Gas2Coal is Char-Broil's hybrid system, letting one barbecue run on either gas or charcoal. A charcoal tray fits above the gas burners, so you can grill quickly on gas midweek and switch to charcoal for smoky flavour at the weekend. It saves owning two barbecues, though it costs more than a gas-only model and charcoal cooking means clearing ash.
