Char-Broil Gas2Coal Hybrid Grill - 3 Burner Gas & Coal Barbecue Grill, Black Finish

Product Information

For newcomers to ‘the pit’, the astonishing and consistent temperature accuracy of the Traeger Pro 780 means there isn’t really a learning curve, especially when you can make precision adjustments from a mobile app. For those who pride themselves as Pitmasters, even mastering the Holy Grail of smoke-based cooking – the bark-laden brisket with a lovely smoke ring that melts in the mouth after 9 hours – isn’t too great a challenge. This small size also has its own advantages. Obviously maintenance is one, but also it makes it extremely fast to cook on as the heat is more concentrated.

There's lots of storage underneath the grill so you can squeeze in everything you might need, and it's all protected by two full-coverage doors. There's also a side table next to the charcoal grill as well as hooks for your grilling tools, and a handy built-in bottle opener. Most models will be hot enough to cook on in just a few minutes thanks to the fast-lighting gas mechanism. It's an indisputable fact of life that food tastes better outdoors, doubly so when you actually cook it yourself. There’s a perfectly good oven inside, but these barbecues hit higher temperatures for fast, tasty results. Some of these beauties can also travel with you - current restrictions permitting - on camping holidays or to a friend’s house for extra capacity.With the sunny weather set to continue, you might be thinking now is the time to treat yourself to a new barbecue. If you like the convenience of gas but the smoky taste of charcoal, a dual-fuel barbecue could be a good choice. It has a whopping 860 square inches of cooking space, which is incredible compared to almost any other grill or smoker we’ve seen. Our tests often show that a dual-fuel barbecue will perform better on one over the other. Usually, charcoal out-performs gas. You'll need to wait 10-15 minutes for the coals to start turning white on the bottom, then you can shut off the gas and wait a further five minutes with the lid open. At 120.9cm high and 54cm long, the Professional Pro S 3 is quite a large model - and you will need room outside to store it - it does come with wheels so it’s easy to position. We particularly like the way a gas canister – up to an ample 11kg - can be neatly housed underneath the barbecue - as opposed to the side. The side shelf can also be folded down after use and the barbecue comes with a cover to place over it to protect it. There’s also a handy display to tell you how full the gas bottle is, which means there are no excuses if you run out of juice mid garden party. The hooks for cutlery on the doors and integrated beer bottle opener on its body are also a nice touch.

For some people this is plenty, and for some this isn’t enough. Take a look at each grill’s cooking grate size (usually expressed in square inches) and consider if this will be enough. The answer to this common question is simple: it depends on the food. The smoke-free quality of gas is ideal for meals with delicate flavours. If you’re cooking a delicious light fish with a subtle taste, then gas would be the better option. If, on the other hand, you want a crisp and juicy smoked rib, or a smoke-seared steak, then a coal BBQ is the clear winner. Either can be the right choice, depending on what you plan to serve.

Gas or charcoal?

The Kettleman charcoal barbecue is a traditional charcoal grill, in the traditional kettle shape, and that is powered by charcoal.

Assembly took a while but was totally worth it, and the arms are great for storing plates or utensils while you cook up a storm. I didn't love the side burner, but it's easy enough to just put down the cover of this burner and use it as a resting place.

Whether it’s tender pulled pork and ribs, or a delicious smoked salmon, the Smokey Mountain Cooker is all you need for a perfect outdoor meal. As well as the three enamel coated drums, it comes with a pizza stone, insulated gloves (absolutely essential), internal boiler, tap, hangers (for drying clothes and tea towels), grill, grate and carry case, and they also offer a range of extras including battery-powered rotisserie.
