Convenient
Very nice grill. Though I have no need for the side burner. And wish it has storage like a drawer for grilling utensils. Its not simple but easy to put it together. My 13-year old did it. You do need to use the standard charcoal, not natural wood, because wood is in different sizes and its hard to layer it evenly to put the grate on top, and as it burned larger pieces create more heat. The pull down door in the front allows easy access to turn the gas on/off without having to go around the grill.

    Great grill - Need better assembly instructions
    It works great! I LOVE Char-2-coal FREEDOM to use charcoal or gas. Assembly instructions and youtube videos are not great, tough. If there is an App with step by step assembly instructions in english, I couldn't find it.

    Good not Great
    Assembly was about 2 1/2 hours by myself a helping hand wound have cut down that time. Everything fit together as would call " close enough " . Busted only one mounting screw but I'll use a pop rivet. Gas runs on the Hot side even with all burners on low. Haven't used charcoal yet.

    Awesome!
    Loving it so far. I know the grill is close to the charcoal so let your coals simmer down before you place your meat on the grill. I also fill only half of the coal tray if you're just grilling a few items. The coals burn for hours! So easy to light up! Grates are easy to clean.

    Great Grill
    This is a wonderful grill. Have used both gas and charcoal, both fuels work very well. The control on the gas grill lets you slow cook, or quick sear. The 3 controls work great together, and also very well on their own. The Charcoal section is close to the grates which makes searing very easy. You can leave a couple of the charcoal sections empty which gives you a cool spot to slow cook. Heats up quickly and can get super hot, or steady low temp for roasting. Out performs my Weber Gas Grill due to its versatility. Will see how durable it is over time. Got a cover with it, grill and cover have been a great investment.

    Uneven heating
    Unfortunately it heats unevenly. I didn't know anything about grills and thought this may be normal. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it but I shouldn't need to do this after two months.

    Delicious
    Great coal over gas, love the different authentic flavors from charcoal. Never really like just cooking with propane.

    Best Grill Ever
    This grill is great since you can cook with charchol or gas. I absolutly love this Grill. I ordered the Rotisserie for it and can now also cook using the rotisserie. Well made and built to last. When I need help Charbroil is there with helpful information. Lights easy and cooks evenly.

    Not flexible enough
    Works well and I love the convenience of both gas and coal. I knocked a star off for no ability to raise/lower the coals. And I knocked another star off for no ability to have just 1 or 2 burners be gas or charcoal - its all gas or all charcoal - no combination available.

    Easy for a First Timer
    This bbq was better than I expected and really easy to set up and use! I have never bbqd by myself let alone put one together. The instructions were pretty straight forward, if you are patient and take your time. I have used both functionalities and love it!

    AWESOME!
    I Love this Grill! The conversion from gas to charcoal is easy and quick. The only criticism I have is that you can't lower the charcoal so you have to build a thin layer of charcoal to be able to put the grilling grates in so you can cook. The good news is that the charcoal stays VERY hot for a VERY long time. If you're not used to charcoal grilling, (I have exclusively used a gas grill for 30 years), be sure to build the fire at least an hour before you start grilling. Briquets might be easier to use than lump charcoal because some of the bigger chunks were too high to allow the grates to rest on the edges of the inside where they belog. Lighting the charcoal is easy because you just let the gas do it for you. LOVE IT!!!

    FedEx beat the crap out of the box and delivery was late 2 days. We assembled the unit and then noticed numerous porcelain cracks and pop offs. some might think this cosmetic. But it will rust before it otherwise would. Many more photos I can't figure how to add.

    Wonderful Grill
    I am loving it. The gas lights the charcoal very easily. But it takes a few minutes. The button lighter uses a battery, and works perfectly. Not like the older style that never worked for me. The only thing that I'd change is to make the charcoal basket adjustable. There is no way to raise or lower it to adjust heat. Since I do not use the entire surface to cook with, I'm going to try reducing the amount of charcoal in some areas, giving me zones of heat. Even cooking with the gas instead of charcoal works better than my older grill. It seems to get much hotter. It is the best if both worlds, gas and charcoal.
