Full size tank fits!
I love this grill!It will always have sentimental value as I bought it on 9/11/00...it continues to work like a champ.My favorite feature is you can actually fit a full size propane tank under it as well as the small one provided to you; so, no frequeunt trips to fill up if you grill alot.

You can't beat this grill
My father spent $3000+ on a new stainless grill that he slaves to keep clean.I bought a Caddie with the idea that I could get a new one every year for the next 25 years to match his expense.Turns out our first Caddie lasted ~7 years.Lid dents, rust, heavy grease build up, etc.For $139 you can't beat this grill and my new one came with thermostat and the larger (4.5 gal) tank.I transferred the side shelves (option) over from my original.If you like lid cooking you will love this affordable high quality Q. I usually sear on high heat then turn down gas to low an put on lid - result is nothing short of excellent.

I have this grill in my rec room fireplace. I adapted it to work on natural gas. The grill broils everything evenly with no hot or cold spots on a very low setting.

Grill review
The grill is a handy device for outside grilling of smaller portions of meat, chicken, etc.It is easy to use and can be quickly ready to use.

Flimsy and Unreliable
Very unsteady legs.Won't stay lit in even the lightest wind. High heat the only one that really accomplishes anything. Better off spending a little more $$ and getting one that's more dependable. ... Read more

I love this grill!
I just bought this grill for my family. It's very easy to compose and easy to use. With 40,000 BTU's of cooking power and a large, 420 square inch cooking surface, this Thermos grill is a great way to start off any BBQ.
Question
I looked at the stainless gas grills and I am curious why there are no words about whether or not you can hook up these LP Grills to Natural Gas (a permanent position).I know that you can get a conversion kit but this approach is not mentioned anywhere.We use to call grills for natural gas "post grills" for permanent installations.Would appreciate an e-mail stating whether or not you can convert these LPs to NG.Thanks.
Buy it for looks don't buy it for life/performance
I purchased this grill at Kmart at a discount (under $300) about three months ago. The grill appealed to me for its partial stainless steel construction and enclosed under-body. It was easy to assemble and most parts appeared to be of solid construction. Unfortunately, problems appeared immediately after the first use. Namely, the pan designed to capture grease and other particles did not do a good job. Grease is leaking into the cabinet and onto my porch despite proper installation and grill standing on a perfect level surface. Also, the construction of the grill causes frequent and large flare-ups. Most of the flare-ups occur in the far section of the crates, where cross-ignition tubes trap dripping grease. In addition, the cooking surface temperature is highly uneven with much hotter temperatures at the far end of the crates (even when flare-ups are not causing it). On the plus side, electronic ignition system works beautifully so far.Read more

Mine served me well
I got one of these grills as a hand-me-down from my cool big brother (who graduated to a plumbed natural-gas grill).Though it had a few years on it when I got it, the char-broil served me well.It cooked smoothly and evenly, didn't consume too much gas, and was the focus of many a happy day of outdoor cooking.It finally fell prey to rust at a ripe old age.It was replaced with a Kenmore, which has never been quite so satisfying, despite being more rust-resistant. Nice, affordable grill
This was the first gas grill I have purchased, having always used charcoal grills.My family has really enjoyed using this grill - so much faster than charcoal.We have had minimal flare-ups with this grill, it cooksevenly and is fairly easy to clean.I have seen this grill at a cheaperprice offline, but in researching prices online, Amazon beat other storeshands down.I would recommend this grill to anyone buying a gas grill forthe first time.

More minutes than you might think
We just bought this grill locally and I was lured by the promise of "assembles in minutes, no tools required."If they meant "less han an hour" then it is correct:it took me just a bit under an hour to put together.The main part of the grill - the cooking unit - is completely assembled in the box which means that the ignitor actually works.But you have to use a sometimes cryptic manual to assemble the legs, hood, and other parts of the grill.I've put a lot of furniture kits together so this wasn't too bad but the pictures are definitely lacking.Still, it didn't required any tools and once assembled, it is a really nice grill at a reasonable price.I wish it explained the "v-bar" - I assume it's some kind of device to keep the flame down or even" - but it really was doable.Just be prepared to spend some time scratching your head & you will probably have a couple of washers left over. But a nice little grill, better than I expected for the price. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This Char-Broil grill with combination fuel options lets you cook with gas for quick results or with charcoal for full flavor. As an added bonus, you can use the gas system to ignite the charcoal, simplifying start-up and eliminating the need for foul-tasting lighter fluid. The grill comes with stainless steel burners and a vaporizer bar as well as a removable charcoal pan and grate holder for straightforward conversion. The burners are individually controlled and the ignition is a simple push-button. Spacious in its design, the grill comes with a high hood, an ample storage shelf, and a front basket for condiments and grill mitts. The hood has a basic temperature gauge, and the weather-resistant side shelves include slots for hanging utensils. Char-Broil includes the LP tank and 7-inch wheels for easy transport. The grill measures 58 by 22 by 48 inches and comes with a 3-year warranty on the burner and a 10-year warranty on the ignition. Assembly is required. Read more

just OK
After half a season, the plastic handle, plastic preparation surface, electronic ignition and cooking grates either weathered to the point of not being able to be used, or broke outright.Replacement parts are very hard to find. Great grill for too much money
I purchased this identical grill last year, except for the sideburner grate was different and the "whatever" caddy on the front did not come with mine.I paid [$$] for the grill( on sale ) and the tank combined.Basically it's still the very same gas grill.The Thermos boys have slapped their name plate on it also.Any Joe can put their tag on it, however, it doesn't compromise the great outdoor cookin'. Good but not great gas grill

Sent wrong item
Do not buy from this seller, I was sent the wrong item than what I ordered, and he would not correct it. I had to file a claim with Amazon.com to get it resolved.

Decent grill for the price
My wife purchased the Charbroil Big Easy LP grill back in 2001 and I'm still using it on a regular, weekly basis. My grill is solely the LP, not charcoal, version of the grill with three main burners and a side burner. The grill was moderately easy to assemble and came with a cast iron griddle and two warming trays. The grill heats to 650+ Fahrenheit in eight to fourteen minutes depending on ambient air temperature and wind conditions, plenty for searing meats quickly. I learned early on, though, that the three burners do not give off the same amount of heat and that there are definitive cool spots (mainly between the burners and on the sides) of the grilling area; I adjusted my grilling accordingly and find the cool spots a minor detraction from the overall performance of the grill. The middle burner runs the hottest (with almost no difference between medium and hot control knob settings) and the right burner runs the coolest. The side burner does not have much temperature control and runs either at the hottest setting or "off", probably due to a lack of windscreen to help protect the flame from Mother Nature. The only part on the grill that I think was under-engineered is the LP tank "tilt" support bracket that runs between the two wheels - I bent the support bracket within the first two months of owning the grill by rolling the grill over somewhat uneven grass in the backyard. After five years of ownership (and unfailingly covering the grill when not in use), all outside parts remain untarnished and in great condition. I just recently ordered replacements for the porcelain-coated grates (which had become pockmarked) and have noticed some minor deterioration on the burners. The Charbroil web site support page did not have a record of my Big Easy grill model #, so support from the company is non-existent in that respect. To order replacement parts, I went through third-party suppliers using my grill model # and the part numbers found in the documentation that came with the grill. I believe Charbroil no longer manufactures the Big Easy line of grills, so one can expect the availability of replacement parts to decrease over a relatively short time. Overall, I think that this 3-burner LP grill was a great purchase for the money, has some features (side burner, warming racks, cast iron griddle) found only on more expensive models, is durable, and only lacks decent support (at least for my model #) from the manufacturer.

5 Stars for this amazing grill
This grill is great.I have the Thermos brand Big Easy. Char-Broil now makes this Charcoal/gas grill. It is the same thing.

Editorial Review

This versatile grill/smoker in one is ideal for the grill master who likes to cook entire meals--or even every meal--on the grill. The Big Easy works as a gas grill, operating at 36,000 BTU to heat the three stainless-steel VersaFlame burners evenly for perfectly cooked meals. The porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking surface enables you to cook just about anything on this grill. The Big Easy’s grates are perfect for traditionally grilled meats, such as chicken, steaks, or hamburgers. A two-sided removable griddle fixes pancakes and eggs on its smooth side that taste like they’re right from the campground, while the opposite ridged side is ideal for grilling peppers, onions, or other veggies. Additionally, The Big Easy has a cast-iron deep dish that makes great stir-fried or deep-fried foods on the grill. A flush-mounted side burner, operating on 8,000 BTU, heats up baked beans or other side dishes from your cast-iron deep dish without taking up valuable grilling space. After grilling, all cooking surfaces are easy to clean for the next cookout. When you’re ready to prepare smoked foods on your grill, simply fill the SmokerTents that are protecting the burners with wood chips and you’re ready to go. This cooker’s large hood can accommodate a big ham or even a Thanksgiving turkey to feed a crowd so there are no limitations to what you can smoke. The Big Easy has a condiment basket for holding all your extras, and an additional weather-resistant side shelf for holding plates of food or grilling tools. The Big Easy sets up in just minutes and comes with its own gas tank, which is easy to replace with the grill’s unique Tilt Tank feature. Char-Broil provides a lifetime warranty on The Big Easy’s cast-aluminum top and bottom, a five-year warranty on the burner system, and a one-year warranty on all other parts. Read more

Reliable and solid construction
I was fortunate to purchase this grill pre-assembled, so cannot comment on the ease (or lack thereof) of assembly. Once assembled this grill is solidly constructed, compact enough to fit in a corner of a patio, yet large enough in cooking area to use for entertaining and feeding groups of up to 15 people.
Very good for the price
I had a Sunbeam grill that I hated.I replaced the burners so many times, I could do it with my eyes closed.Then I needed new grates and couldn't find any that were a direct fit.I bought some adjustable grates and wired them together to make do.Finally, I had enough.I saw this Char-Broil (actually it was the previous incarnation of this model) at a Home Depot and bought it without a second thought.Knowing the experience I'd had with the Sunbeam, I also bought a spare burner.Read more

That's a magnificent grill
It's very easy to compose this product. The material parts of this grill is very durable. Using this grill, it is very reliable and I can plan my cooking time of BBQ and else very accurately. I feel like it makes me improve my cooking skills like Chef's in the five star restaurants.
Don't Buy Char-Broil Products
I've had the regulator assembly on my Char-Broil grill fail twice.The company refuses to warrant this part of the product.The regulator is the "heart" of the grill.The regulator, hoses and valves that go from the cannister to the burners is all one assembly.They charged me over $100 to replace it the first time and it failed again within 9 months.Now, they have taken all their support telephone numbers off line.If you buy one of their products, there is no way to contact a human being.Their web site will not let you send an email, nor will it reveal a telephone number.This company is a total rip off.

For $400 it should work better
For the money, this grill should be sturdier and the flames should be even. I find the knobs to be somewhat rickety. My biggest complaint is the uneven burners. Mine do not burn as high in the front as the rear. In fact, you can get rare in the front and well done in the rear. Charbroil mentions this on their website as normal, but if you ask me it is a manufacturing defect and undesireable. I am actually considering selling it and purchasing a brand that consumer reports rated higher. ... Read more

X marks the spot for this durable, affordable, and remarkably easy-to-assemble gas grill. The distinctive X-shaped frame with tough cast-aluminum construction provides a sturdy base for all your grilling adventures, while the satin nickel legs and navy blue finish have an eye-catching modern look. The powerful, dual-burner Evenflame cooking system with push-button ignition gives out 35,000 BTU of even heat across the grilling surface, eliminating hot spots and the burned or underdone meats that result. Weather-resistant side shelves with attached tool holders provide plenty of space for prepping food or storing sauces and marinades while you grill. Porcelain cooking grates are naturally nonstick, making for easy cleanup and entrees that flip intact, and the ample hood provides plenty of cooking room for even large roasts. Best of all, the Quickset grill consists of factory pre-assembled modules that fit together quickly without tools, meaning you'll go from box to barbecue in minutes. All parts are covered by the extensive Char-Broil warranty: lifetime for the cast-aluminum top and bottom, three years for the burner system, and one year on all other parts. The Char-Broil Quickset measures 33 by 23-1/2 by 23-1/4 inches and weighs 75 pounds for shipping. Read more

This Quickset model has a porcelain grate, and Evenflame 40,000 BTU grill system that enables users to evenly cook burgers, veggie kabobs, or salmon fillets. Added conveniences include; a side shelf with ample space and access to basting sauces; an extra side burner; and a grease clip that hangs empty cans to catch drippings. The rotary igniter and temperature control knobs also add to the grills versatile cooking. A battery-operated handle light is ideal for cooking at night. The grill does not include batteries for the handle light and the liquid propane tank is purchased separately. Use the grill outdoors only. While assembly of the grill is necessary, the task requires no tools. Charbroil covers all parts of this grill with a warranty. Read more

Great but small problem
We love the size of this grill. There are only 2 of us and when we have a couple of people over, it is still adequate. Our problem was the ignition button never working.

Great affordable grill
I have had this grill for over a year now and it still works as good as new.In the past, other grills have not lasted this well for me.The grill itself is still easy to clean, and the ceramic burner heats evenly.Best of all, I still do not have problems using the starter, which is usually the first thing to go on a grill.
good grill
I have had an older older of this grill for about 4 years now and I can tell you this about it, this thing is incredibly sturdy.It has survived 2 moves across the world (we're in the military), constant use.I would have loved to have the spice rack that they now offer, but it had decent ebough counter space to hold most of my BBQ needs.Sadly now I'm going to have to replace it.The racks are rusting A LOT is startign to fall apart.One problem I had was the automatic starter connection on teh burner burned off after the first year.Other than that it has definately fulfilled our needs.

Great grill, great price
I was replacing a banged up beaten up, unloved grill.This grill is fantastic!It is quite a hefty grill considering its not one of those fancy stainless grills.I'd estimate it at over 80lbs though the fedex guy who delivered it said it was 150 (I dont think so, I'm a female and I could push the box along my patio with relative ease).Upon removing this grill from the box (thats a LOT of pieces!) and finding the instructions I found this grill not too terribly difficult to assemble.The instructions could have been a LOT better, but they're followable (especially after dismantling the grill a few times after figuring out I put some pieces on upside down).I was a little concerned with some of the plastic screws this grill uses to hold it together.Time will tell if these can hold up.I had a few remaining nuts and bolts but after a call to charbroil's customer service, I was assured these were just extra pieces in case something were to mess up.I like that because I am not very handy.

Great, but better prices not @ Amazon
This is a wonderful powerful, and sturdy grill. It is great for smoking because of the tall lid, and ease of use with misquite. The themometer is accurate and comes in handy for telling you when the grill is ready. Thermos makes this same model (its the Thermos QuickSet EvenFlame 40,000 BTU grill, except it is discontinued, so Char Broil took over. Exact same design, different logo. I got the Thermos discontinued model at Target (not online, but at the store) for 150. That's almost 100 dollars cheaper. Anyway, this is a highly recommended grill, especially if you can get your hands on the cheap ones! ... Read more
