Our Review
The Char-Broil Performance Series proves you can get a full-featured gas grill without breaking the bank. Four stainless steel burners plus a side burner deliver 36,000 BTU across 425 sq in of primary cooking space. The lidded side burner handles sauces and sides, porcelain-coated grates resist sticking, and the electronic ignition starts every time. At under $300 with a side burner and enclosed cart, it's the most grill you can get for the money.
