Charbroil Pro Series 4-Burner Propane Grill with Griddle - Versatile

In this review the Charbroil Pro Series 4-Burner Propane Grill with Griddle stands out as a versatile backyard cooker for families and home chefs who want a single unit that can grill, griddle and convert to charcoal with an optional tray. The biggest reason to consider this grill is its Modular Cooking System and the heavy-duty griddle that brings a large, evenly heated 328 sq in cooking surface alongside traditional grilling, all while the Amplifire system reduces flare-ups and simplifies temperature control for reliably juicy results.

Key Features

• Modular Cooking System: Swap between grill and griddle modes in under 90 seconds to expand menus without needing a separate appliance.
• Amplifire Cooking Technology: Designed to eliminate guesswork and reduce flare-ups so food cooks more evenly and stays juicier across the whole surface.
• Large Cooking Area: The grill offers 535 sq in of primary cooking space so it can handle large batches like 25 burgers or multiple steaks at once.
• Heavy-Duty Griddle Top: A 328 sq in cold rolled steel griddle gives consistent heat and includes a rear grease slot and hangable legs for easy storage.
• Gas2Coal Compatibility: The patented charcoal tray (sold separately) allows conversion to charcoal grilling for added smoky flavor when desired.
• Durable Build and Mobility: Porcelain-coated cast-iron grates resist rust and the cart has two 8 in wheels plus two locking casters for stable placement.

Who It's For

This grill is aimed at backyard cooks who want flexibility: families that need to feed a crowd, hobbyists who like both griddle breakfasts and high-heat searing, and anyone who values even heat distribution across four burners. The quick switch between modes and large cooking surface suit weekend gatherings and weekday meal prep alike.

People who should look elsewhere include those who need a built-in or permanently installed grill, and buyers who do not want to assemble a cart-style unit themselves - assembly experiences are mixed, with some reporting it is not easy to put together. Also, if you require a charcoal grill out of the box, plan to purchase the Gas2Coal tray separately.
