Char Broil Grill 2 Go

Review of the Charbroil Advantage Grill-2-Go Gas Grill

The Char Broil Grill 2 Go brings portability to a whole new level. This Char broil portable gas grill actually folds up to fit in a compact space for traveling, tailgating, hunting trips or camping. Two independently controlled burners made of stainless steel give you complete control over your temperature.

The generous 308 square inch cooking surface gives you plenty of room to cook your meals. A Teflon griddle is perfect for making pancakes, bacon and eggs.

A removable LED light in the handle makes it easy to see when cooking at night. Folding side shelves give you work space, and the Char Broil gas grill also holds a trash bag and a paper towel holder. The grease drawer removes for easy cleaning.

The Char Broil Grill 2 Go heats up quickly and evenly. Clean up is quick and easy with the dishwasher. The side tables are very convenient, especially when tailgating. The 16 oz propane tank lasts for hours.

There is an extra propane tank holder, a paper towel roll holder and LED lights. Very useful! The Teflon griddle is great for making breakfast.

The grease collector under the grill is very useful and easy to clean. Setup is very easy. Take down is just as easy. There is plenty of cooking space. You can even set it up on a tabletop instead of the base.

What We Don't Like

The Char Broil Grill 2 Go is heavy and unwieldy. After moving it around for few trips, it developed a propane leak at the control knob. The legs must be taken off and extended before the grill can be set on top to set up the grill. There is no gauge for the propane tank so you know how much is left.

Be sure to set up the grill on a level surface if you plan to make something like scrambled eggs so they don't drip off the side. The grill works okay the first few times and then things start falling apart like the igniter.

Some have reported cracked handles. It just doesn't heat up enough to get a good sear on a steak. It is fragile. Customer service at Char Broil leaves a lot to be desired. They are less than helpful and do not want to replace damaged parts.

Summary

All in all, there were about as many pleased customers as there were displeased customers. It seemed that it was luck of the draw whether you got a Char Broil Grill 2 Go that worked as advertised or one that was damaged or broke soon after arrival.

If you really want a portable grill that will stand up to the rigors of travel, check out some of the other choices you have on the market. While this grill seems to work well when it chooses to, it isn't worth the hassle to see if you got a good one or a lemon. The design seems to be sound, but it just doesn't seem to pan out in practice.

Many customers had to fight with customer service to get replacement parts. Replacement grills were almost always worse than the original purchase. At almost $200 for the grill, you would expect a bit more. Do more research and find a better grill for your money. The Grill 2 Go isn't it.
