Char-Broil Designer Series Gas Grill (Model #463350108)
This Char-Broil gas grill is typical of the low end, mass-market gas grills. Poor quality components with poor quality construction. This is a basic three burner grill with a side burner. While the heat output of is okay the evenness isn't. On the other hand this grill lists for $180USD (but sells for as low as $120USD). Considering the price range on this grill you might just want to save yourself a couple of bucks and get the more basic Char-Broil 2-burner.

Char-Broil Commercial with Rotisserie (Model #47362324818)
This is one gas grill with everything to make it look great; lifetime warranty burners, stainless steel construction, four-burner design, high BTU output, rotisserie burner, and a flush mounted side burner unit. Unfortunately is is far more appearance than substance. This Char-Broil gas grill uses low quality stainless steel (430 Series) including the burners burners and the overall construction is weak. Like many Char-Broil grills it looks good on the showroom floor, but won't last.

Char-Broil 4-Burner Stainless Steel (model #463420508)
This is the bottom of the "stainless steel" grills. For around $260 you can buy this Char-Broil grill from Home Depot that features the Char-Broil side burner/oven with griddle. Unfortunately, this grill uses the lowest quality stainless steel and metal as thin as you can buy. The question is, why would you want to buy this grill. I can bend the lid with my hands so this is as fragile grill as you can find. Like many Char-Broil grills it looks good on the showroom floor, but won't last.

Char-Broil RED 4-Zone Infrared Grill (Model #463250308)
This low cost infrared gas grill is the deluxe version of the Char-Broil RED. On one hand, you might say that this grill is little more than a gas fired box that roasts instead of grills. On the other hand this grill can hit temperatures of nearly 700 degrees and almost never flares-up. The design of this grill lets it cook between low and slow barbecue and steak searing temperatures. On the down side this grill uses low quality stainless steel and plastic parts that might limit its durability.

Char-Broil Commercial Series Quantum Gas Grill (Model# 46324
The Char-Broil Quantum represents an innovative approach to an inexpensive all infrared gas grill. Where the Char-Broil/TEC grill uses expensive infrared burners this unit uses a simple sheet or perforated stainless steel to convert the output of a standard gas burner into infrared energy.

Char-Broil's The Big Easy Oil-less Infrared Turkey Fryer
We all know that turkey frying can be dangerous. Char-Broil has developed a way to make it not only safer, but cheaper and easier. The Big Easy is a propane powered infrared roaster oven that gives you foods that look and taste very much like they were fried. I believe that the true versatility of this unit has yet to be discovered. Anything you can lower into the cooking chamber can be cooked quickly (turkey at about 10 minutes a pound).

Char-Broil/TEC Series Four Burner Gas Grill (Model #463268307)
This is the biggest grill of the year (2007). No. Not the biggest seller, not by a long shot, but it is going to be the most asked and talked about grill on the market. The bottomline is, it's okay. Not bad actually. The overall construction is weak, but the parts are pretty durable and the technology is good. Of course there are questions about this grill that won't really get answered for another year or two (see below).

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Review
Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Review - This is Char-Broil's answer for the grill who just doesn't have a lot of space or wants a gas grill, but doesn't want to grill a lot of food. The Patio Caddie is a full height grill that takes up only 28 inches. It's one burner gives you enough heat to do most grilling tasks but with only 187 square inches of grilling space you won't be able to do to much. But then, that's the point, right?
