CharBroil Commercial Series Grill (Model #47362324818)

The stainless steel look of the CharBroil Commercial series grill(Model #47362324818) is fabulous. A stainless steel lid, doors and control panel all create a professional look. The cooking grates are made of porcelain coated iron, while the warming rack is porcelain coated steel. Assembly is required for this Char Broil gas grill. Plan to spend a couple hours unless you have assistance.The warranty covers the burners for the lifetime of the grill.

A rotisserie kit is available that you can install yourself. The rotisserie is large enough to hold two whole chickens at one time. The cooking area is quite large, so you can easily feed several people. This model is easy to find at many home improvement stores as well as online. This grill is available in both LP and natural gas conversions for your convenience.

What We Like

The CharBroil Commercial series grill is a full featured gas grill. It is attractive to look at, and will look great on any patio. It has a great side burner, porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates and a large area for cooking, 500 hundred square inches to be exact.

When you use an oven thermometer, you see the grill heats up well and cooks delicious meals. If you have natural gas at your home, you can get a natural gas conversion kit to hook it up instead of using an LP tank.

What We Don't Like

The CharBroil Commercial series grill's stainless steel is rather low quality. While they bother to put the rotisserie burner in, the rotisserie unit is sold separately. For what you get, the price is rather hefty.

The burners don't last too long (about 2 to 3 years), so be sure and register your grill so your warranty remains in force, and keep your receipts. The cooking grates are only coated with porcelain, they are not enameled. The heat vent is overly large and with the thin metal body, it is hard to control the heat when cooking.

The grease pan does not always drain as it is supposed to do, and can result in a grease fire. The built in thermometer does not seem to be accurate, measuring much lower temperatures than are actually created within the grill. By placing an oven thermometer inside, you can measure the correct temperature.

Char Broil seems aware of this problem, but as of yet has not fixed it.

Summary

All in all, the Char Broil Commercial series grill is a decent grill for the money spent. The stainless steel takes some care to remain nice. The thermometer is not accurate, but a cheap oven thermometer can fix that easily.

Regular maintenance is needed for this grill to perform its best. The grease pan should be cleaned after each use, and the grill itself should be kept covered when not in use. Barkeepers' Friend will help the stainless steel to look its best.
