Char-Griller® Grillin' Pro 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill in Black with 40,800 BTU, Cast Iron Grates and Warming Racks, 630 Cooking Square Inches, Model E3001

I snagged this grill for about $225 in 2022. I was looking for a solid gas grill but didn't want to spend ludicrous money on a weber, nor did I like how the Nexgrill and Charbroils felt in the stores. Some online research yielded that this CharGriller was a great bang for your buck. After assembling it (it took about 3 hours solo, a partner would be helpful), it fired right up. Assembly instructions aren't the best, but read them carefully and measure twice, cut once, if you will.After cooking on it a few times with basic homeowner backyard fare, I can say it does a fine job. It definitely gets hot, and keeps heat. You won't need to keep the burners on high, it puts out plenty of heat. Flareups do occur, but again, like others people have said, this is not a cadillac grill. I used it to smoke/grill some babyback ribs for the 4th of July. I added a $10 smoke box you can get anywhere, and between that and managing temperature with a remote thermometer, this thing cooked AMAZING ribs. Beat my father's Traeger ribs by far. You don't always need high priced fancy stuff to get good results. Operator knowledge and technique is more than half the battle.Time will tell with longevity, but I do clean it regularly and I purchased the cover specific for this model, so it is protected.Would recommend if you're seeking a quality, versatile grill for the money.

I've always wanted a Weber but didn't want to spend $400+. So even though I had not heard of Char Griller the deal on Amazon Prime Day was too good to pass up and my old grill was dying before my eyes so I took a gamble since all the reviews were good. It shipped and arrived as expected.Assembly:Ok, assembly was a pain. I used to work at a furniture warehouse and I actually LOVE putting IKEA stuff together so I wasn't worried about assembly at all. The first problem came when the parts packet had opened during shipping. There were 33 little washers strewn all over the box. I didn't find the 33rd washer until two hours into my assembly but eventually did find them all. That was an accomplishment! Other than that assembly was about as expected. It took me about 4 hours sweating in my porch. I was able to do it by myself even though it says two people "required" and I only stripped out one screw. Attached the heavy bottom grill case to the assembled frame was the hardest part (and where I stripped the screw) but there are five other screws so I'm not at all worried about it. It wasn't super hard, just took longer than expected. The box it fit in was a lot smaller than expected as well!Grilling:I LOVE this thing. It gets hot and fast. When I have all three burners lit and turned down to low it stays 400 degrees with the lid down. Turn them up to less than medium and it jumps up to 500 or more. The first time I used it I fried my brats and dogs compared to my old crappy grill. It feels very sturdy, has a large grill surface that is flush with the side shelves (unlike my old one) and a large area on the top warming shelf. My young daughters don't like any "black stuff" on their hot dogs so I cook theirs solely on the warming shelf and they cook perfect without burning. So far I've only made brats and old fashioned wienies, checking kabobs and grilled lettuce (seriously, my wife loves grilled romaine soaked in olive oil, it's surprisingly good!) Now that I know to keep the heat on low so I don't fry my foods I'm loving this thing, it heats up fast and cooks great.Anyone know what I would ever use the side burner for? I can't imagine ever using it.Construction:As I said it feels study and is definitely heavy duty. The top is heavy, the shelves are nice. I even like the two exhaust tubes on the top, I thought that would keep it from holding heat but they have no effect and look cool smoking when you got a good grill on. I like to turn the gas off on the propane after every use and it's kind of a pain to reach (you can see a bar in the picture, well, that bar is right in the way of the top of the propane tank) but other than that it is very good.Overall:I'm very happy with this grill especially for the price! Go ahead and get one, you'll love it!

This grill with the three main burners and a side burner works wonderful. When assembled it's sturdy, solid looking and has good looks. The assembly instructions were outstanding and well thought layout, easy to assemble and all hardware clearly marked. The only negative was the installation of the gas regulator on to propane tank. That should have been thought through better. The cross member support brace is somewhat in the way making it difficult to turn the regulator knob on to tank. Had to kind of tilt tank on the side and then had more room to place hand on regulator knob and hand tighten it. Not a big issue or a game changer for me. love the grill , heats up fast and nice to have a thermometer. Highly recommend.
