I repeated this two more times for a total of three cooked chickens. The cook space on this model (no doors, single wheel and with a side burner) is 475 square inches – that’s larger than the Dyna-Glo 4-Burner. That’s about enough space to cook 20 burgers with plenty of room, plus that extra side burner space. The Char-Broil Series 5 Grill is built from steel and with cast iron grates.
The Char-Broil Performance XL is a five-burner gas grill with porcelain-coated cast iron grates. The Char-Broil Performance Burner Gas Grill might not have a long warranty but it’s still made of materials that are built to last. The four burners are stainless steel while the grill is made of rust-resistant porcelain-coated cast iron.
The non-stick porcelain-coated grates, for instance, wipe down very quickly and need minimal scrubbing. An ordinary wire grill brush will generally get the job done very effectively. Flare-ups should rarely happen, if at all, with this grill, especially with the convection cooking system, which reduces flare-ups and Blackstone Adventure ensures even heat distribution. The electronic push-to-start ignition technology ensures that your grill will start quickly and reliably each and every time you use it, every time. Using TRU-infrared cooking technology, you can prepare your entire meal with no flare-ups and even heat, resulting in juicier food.
Char-Broil is a popular brand that has been around since 1948. They’ve started out with charcoal, but these days they have even better grills. Char-Broil is also known as a brand that’s good value for money. They do source their materials globally, but all of their products are made in the USA, specifically Columbus Georgia. Post-grilling clean-ups are pretty much the bane of my barbecuing existence. Grills are famously prone to run-off from meat, which in turn can lead to crusted on fat worked in to the inside of your grill.
The exterior of Char-Broil Series 5 Grill is made with high-quality stainless steel. This means the grill can handle the heat and is super durable. Is the 300 gas grill good value money, and a good-performing cooker? Minor design complaints aside, I enjoyed cooking on the Performance XL.
The primary cooking space is enough for a family meal and more. The Char-Broil Performance Stainless Steel 4-Burner uses a conventional grill cooking system that provides an 36,000 BTU/hour. The primary cooking space allows for ample cooking, which is enough for about 20 burgers.
We tested smaller, more expensive grills like the Weber Spirit II E-310 and didn’t find them nearly as adept at cooking whole chickens, racks of ribs or burgers. If you’re looking for a midrange grill that’s easy Blackstone Adventure to operate, cooks well and looks good, too, the Char-Broil Performance XL is a great choice. Grilling season is upon us, and If you’re in the market for a new grill there are dozens of options out there.
