Best Compact Combo – Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner Liquid Propane and Charcoal Hybrid Grill
Most of the combo grills on this list have side-by-side cooking surfaces, one for charcoal, and one for gas.
This setup works really well if you have the space for it, but what if you are short on floor space?
Well, the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner Liquid Propane and Charcoal Hybrid Grill is a single cooking surface model that can be converted from gas to charcoal in around 60 seconds.
The gas mode has three 40,000-BTU main burners under 420 square inches of porcelain-coated, cast-iron cooking grates and an additional warming rack built into the hood. There is also a side shelf for your utensils and an extra side burner, which can be used in either mode.
To convert from gas to charcoal, you simply remove the grates, add in the charcoal tray, (which is specifically designed to reduce flare-ups), and then use the gas ignition system to light the coals.
At just 52.5 x 24.6 x 47.5 inches and 115lbs, the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner Liquid Propane and Charcoal Hybrid Grill is an excellent choice if you are looking for a compact, but efficient, combo grill.
It might be small, but the Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner still comes with accessories like temperature gauges, a side burner, and a single-push ignition system.
The Pros:
- Compact and light design
- Easy to convert from gas to charcoal
- Side burner and utility shelf option
