So far, it's great!
I was a little concerned because several reviews said it was difficult to assemble. Come on, it's a grill. How hard could it really be? I asked myself. It was a piece of cake. However, I have a couple comments about assembly and directions. I found it really strange that the directions had no mention of the types of tools necessary for assembly. I only needed a screwdriver and two different sized wrenches, but it would have been nice to find it listed instead of having to guess. Then there is this little hole on the back of the grill. It has a little flap you can rotate so it is open or closed. I have no idea what that's all about, and found no mention of it in the documentation. Attached to the little flap, there is a chain with a piece of wire at the end. Again, I found no picture or mention of it and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. I've seen reviews about the igniter not working very well, or lasting very long. I can see why. The igniter wire plugs in directly above the grease dripping tray. As a matter of fact, I took it apart a couple times to try and thread it a different way so the wire wouldn't just lay in the tray of grease. I was able to accomplish that, but I am sure it will become a greasy mess before very long just because of its proximity to the grease. Sure seems like there would be a better way to locate that little sucker. When all was said and done, it took about an hour for me to assemble. If you've ever assembled a grill, you will have no problems putting this little gem together. Tonight we will fire it up and then the true test. Ok, so I forgot to push submit yesterday, so now I'll add a few more comments. Hooked up the propane tank and fired up the grill last night. Another observation about the location of that little grease catcher tray. It is VERY close to the top of the propane tank, so turning off the propane when I was finished required close attention so I didn't burn myself. The grilling experience itself was awesome. I seasoned the grate as recommended and threw on a bunch of chicken that had been marinating all day. Cooked evenly across the entire surface, and I was pleased with the results. Even though the marinade made a mess, cleanup wasn't terrible either. So far, I'm really pleased with this purchase.

    My larger and older infrared was literally starting to fall apart. I didn't want to spend the $150 on parts that the manufacture wanted... so I started looking at alternatives. I didn't want to spend a lot of money... yet I wanted an infrared grill. After using infrared you will never want to go back. This little sucker fit my needs pretty well. The assembly was a little more than I'd like... but I loathe assembling stuff.

    In the end, its a great little infrared grill that does not use up too much propane. The grilling comes out nice and even. It will heat up real high to get a nice char. I removed that little upper resting grill thingy because it took up too much real estate on the already limited space grill. I do wish it was a bit bigger... but that's my fault for buying one that I knew was this small. I'd buy it again if I was in need.

    This BBQ is great. It cooks almost too hot. But so far I enjoy it very much. It heats up so fast and stays hot inside. I almost wish there were a vent on the top, because even on the lowest setting it's always upper heat. The assembly was a bit tricky but not impossible. Would purchase this product again.

    This is a great grill for 1 - 4 people. I live alone and had a large Weber that I never used because it took so long to prep it and get it to grilling for one person. I gave it away and bought this little guy and glad I did. Took me a hour or to put it together, seasoned the grill grate with vegetable oil, fired it up (it lit the first time) and let it go as instructed until it stopped smoking. Turned it off. The next day, I went out there with some real nice fresh polish sausages, it lit up the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes, and grilled the sausages. No sticking and the sausages grilled to perfection. nice and juicy. A couple days later I took and nice 3/4 in New York Strip. It fired up[ the first time, I let it heat up a bit, and put the steak on it. Grilled each side about 5 minutes, nice grill marks, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. I also sliced a nice spud in half, and rubbed olive oiled on it and cooked on the warming rack, it cam out great. Then I cut into the steak, talk about juicy!!! This grill is a savior, I am grilling again and loving it. If you are having second thought about buying this baby, do it. I am having fun grilling again. I've done pork chops, on it as well. I also made a Rueben sandwich on it and it was great. Patio Bistro is the proper description for it. The uses are endless. It's not just for brats, dogs, or burgers. I also have the char broil smoker deluxe that I smoke ribs and stuff in. this is a great buy.

    This is the first grill I have ever purchased. So my knowledge is limited. All I can say is that the steaks I cook on this grill are very good. Just as important, it takes little time to cook them. If I throw mini bake potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and jalapenos on first, then add the steaks later, I can have a meal prepared within 20 minutes. The steaks alone are prepared in under 10 minutes. As far as putting this together, I am fairly incompetent at building anything even with directions. It took me two hours, but I also had two young children stealing parts and tools from me during the process, which is probably the reason it took as long as it did.

    ************************************************
    Updated review. I purchased this grill in late Jun 2015. I was using it about twice a week. As I mentioned above, the taste is excellent. Roughly six weeks after using it, I started to experience what I think are called flareups. Sometimes when I started the grill, there was a loud explosion like sound. When this happened, the ignitor failed to light and I wasn't able to grill. It happened unpredictably. But it was concerning enough that I called Char-Broil. They were kind and supportive on the phone, and sent me a new burner tube for free.

    Once I installed the new burner, I had no problem with the grill for another three weeks. Then, the flareups happened again. I'd say that about 70% of the time I could grill and there would be no flare-up. Sometimes there would be a flareup and the grill still lit, so I was able to cook. But I felt a bit apprehensive using the grill, due to the loud sound and once or twice fire shot out briefly from the top of the grill. I finally stopped using the grill two weeks ago after a flareup happened with so much force that the grate was sent about a foot into the air and flames shot out from the top.

    I am hesitant to mention any of this. Looking at the reviews for this grill, I appear to be the only person having this issue. Maybe it is entirely user error. But I'm following the instructions in the manual. And, 70% of the time I have no problem. It's just that the other 30% of the time makes me weary to use the grill. Given that it's gas and the possibility for a worse outcome than what I've experienced so far.

    I have no complaints against Char-Broil as a company. In fact, within the next week or so I will place an order for one of their infrared electric grills. Although the taste won't be as good, I would feel more comfortable using their electric grill.

    I love everything about this grill except for the infrared grill itself. I had one before and cleaning it was a nightmare. I ordered a cast iron grill to replace it. I had already planned on replacing it before I ordered it. In the early 2000’s they made the grill with a cast iron grill piece I don’t know why they ever changed it.

    I have never grilled by myself before as we have always used charcoal. This year I wanted to learn to grill but without the mess of charcoal so I went looking for an easy to use grill for myself. Something small but still large enough for whatever I wanted to cook. My search took me to this little grill.

    Perfect size. I can cook up a couple steaks, my weekly ration of zucchini, pineapple slices, whatever my little heart desires. I can turn it off or on without any help and I can keep it outside and not have to drag it indoors and have it take up valuable garage space. I use it at least once a week, though I find myself using it more because it is so easy to use. I also purchased the heavy-duty cover for it and am glad I did. I would definitely recommend this little grill.

    I love this grill. Fast even heat. Big heat for what looks like a little grill but deceptively has lots of room. It's large rear wheels make it easy to move. Great retro look too.

    Nice size & looks good but only used it a couple of times & the starter quit. Now have to light by hand. Not impressed!
