The All-Star gas grill is our universal grill, which you can even convert into a charcoal grill in a few seconds with the optional All-Star charcoal tray. Another hybrid BBQ from Char-Broil, which allows you to grill with both gas and charcoal, is the Gas2Coal. Is barbecuing with a gas BBQ safe? Most BBQs have one or two, and if there is a side burner, look to see if there’s a cover that will convert it into a workspace. They add extra size to your BBQ but some fold down, which helps if space is at a premium. Gas bottles should always be stored in such a way that they are protected from the sun or high temperatures and stand upright. To be on the safe side, we recommend not using gas cylinders that are already dented or damaged in any way. The Platinum 2200 S (two stainless steel burners for 2 to 4 people) and the Platinum 3400 S (three stainless steel burners plus side burner for 4 to 6 people) offer the following features:

Additional features: Generally, these are nice to haves, but it’s worth thinking about what else comes in the box. For example, one of our joint winners, the Whistler, comes with a rotisserie system that can be added to the BBQ. The Weber, another one of our winners, comes with an additional temperature probe for even more controlled cooking.

The unit was supplied with a propane regulator but due to my enthusiasm, I swapped this for a butane attachment & bottle to which I already had access. This was again very easy and I have noticed no difference in performance.The Char-Broil Grill2Go is our mobile gas BBQ with infrared heat for 1 to 2 people.
