Char-Broil Gas2Coal 440 Hybrid Grill Gas Barbecue, Black

Sturdy and perfect gas and charcoal combo. Even possible to light charcoal if you wish. Installation can be tricky - suggest downloading the Char Broil app with step by step photo instructions to make life easier.

Bought this on 'offer' which made it a great price! Quickly delivered in a large very strong box (heavy too) with all parts well wrapped and protected by bubble bags and polystyrene - took a couple of weeks of wheely bins (green) to get rid of it all. ALL the bits were there and all the steel BBQ in A1 indamaged condition. The instructions are a series of pictures but fairly logical. Spend some time identifying what's what and then took an easy 2.5 hrs to do the build. Tip, just loosly tighten the build until all the frame is together before tightening up fully! Only help needed was to lift the central burner unit into place. The end result is a good sized, very solid BBQ that's streets ahead of my previous £100 charcoal one (simple 10 year old dual barrel now rusting badly). Tested with gas and all works, just need my first excuse to give it a proper run on both gas and charcoal. Can't fault the BBQ so far and building was easier than I'd expected. It's also a beast and only the 3 burner version. Photo's after the main building before the side shelves were completed - couple of hrs to this point

Absolutely fantastic BBQ.Arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition.The standard and quality of the BBQ is second to none.It took me a while to assemble but I followed the instructions to the letter and everything turned out just fine.I give this BBQ 10 out of 10.Hybrid, started on gas then cooked on charcoal, an absolute Game Changer.

I opted for the BBQ to be built on delivery so cannot comment how it is to build. Two men built it in just less than a couple of hours. Looks amazing and very sturdy.I did take time to look at the assembly book, it didn't look very clear to me. Having looked at many Char-Broil YouTube videos, I was trying to find out if you need to remove the 3 silver gas covers before you place in the coal tray. I've seen videos that have them remain inside whilst I've seen others which have them removed first. The book suggests they should be removed, again its not clear. I decided to leave them in because they protect the gas burners and I want to keep it as clean as possible, this method worked fine, placed a flat layer of coal and lit the gas, it was really hot and smokey in less than a few minutes, turned the gas off and started to cook the food. Please could somebody kindly reply if you know if the silver gas plates should be removed when using the coal tray. Thanks in advance.The heat seemed evenly spread, I made use of all the BBQ cooking space, all the food was cooked exactly the same so no cool spots, it tasted lovely, smokey and the smell was amazing.Behind the BBQ there's a sign that states not to store your gas bottle on the shelf under the BBQ. I have a big bottle that won't fit anyway, would be nice to have it out of the way but that's no big deal.Easy to wheel to my garage at the end of summer. The Char-Broil protective cover for this model is a bit expensive, but probably worth getting it to save the elements ruining the BBQ.We also used it without the coal tray just using just gas and we regret it, food was still cooked even and tasted amazing, Its very awkward to clean the base. It does a good job of draining the grease into a grease cup, there's no getting away from the thick burnt oil that burns onto your base. I would therefore recommend always using the coal tray if you like to keep it clean.Overal I'm happy with my BBQ, food tastes lovely and very easy to get going. If I could change anything, it would be much better to have a base tray that you can slide out periodically to make cleaning easier. Great BBQ all the same for the price, looks nice and would recommend.Note this version did not come with the bottle opener I've seen on other 3 burner models.

Great BBQ. Heats up really fast and sturdy construction. The charcoal lasts the same time as a normal BBQ - some reviewers have mentioned it burns quickly. I can only assume they didn't read the manual and kept the gas on after the coals had lit. There is no issue with access as one reviewer said - the doors fit on the front, not the back 🤣. The cast iron grill plates are much better than enameled ones, and easier to clean. Storage is provided for the charcoal holders. Taller than other BBQ's I've owned, which is much better to cook on. The only downside to the BBQ is the cost of any accessories you might want to buy.

BBQ Assembly ReviewOverall, I’m very pleased with the BBQ – it looks solid, stable, and well-constructed. The materials appear to be of good quality, and once assembled, it gives a strong impression of durability.That said, the process of installing the gas hose was unexpectedly difficult. It proved to be quite a challenge, requiring significant effort and unfortunately resulted in a couple of cuts to my fingers. This part of the assembly could certainly be improved, perhaps with clearer instructions or a more user-friendly design.Despite this hiccup, I’m genuinely excited to start using it. Looking forward to some great outdoor cooking sessions!

Seems to be very good quality and sturdy. Only drawback I found is that the storage area for the gas bottle is of no use in the UK as all the gas bottle I can find are too tall to fit, I think this was designed for US size gas bottle. OK if you don’t mind the gas bottle sitting on the ground next to the BBQ

Sturdy build and the hybrid option is good to have, but everyday cooking on the gas is worse than the other charbroil BBQs I have had. The distance between the bottom tray and the burners seems too small, so the flare ups are constant when the heat is over a third on the dials. The bottom tray doesn't slide out like previous models, so it is a real pain to clean.
