Our favorite advanced BBQ
The best options for those who like precision cooking.
Pros:
- Porcelain-coated grease pan
- Stainless steel finish
- Precision controls
Cons:
- A bit small
- No hooks
The Char-Broil 4-burner propane gas grill is a contemporary option, great if you prefer cooking with propane. Plus, you won't lose out on that classic smoky barbecue flavor. Where it comes to cooking your food to perfection, the Char-Broil really delivers, with the grill and grates porcelain coated for heat retention without burning. As well as this, it has a durable grease pan, which can be removed for easy cleaning, and electric ignition – fire it up! This model is a bit small, and we think it would've done better as a three-burner instead of the size, but, with that in mind, it's great.

A cheap and cheerful choice

It's easy to move and position exactly where you want it, weighing just two pounds, and the handy lid locks ensure there won't be any greasy spills in your car after getting back home. We do find it takes a lot of charcoal to get it properly hot for cooking and the grill height is not adjustable.
