Char-Broil 463271309 M580 Quantum 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill
Amazon.com Product Description
A welcome addition to any back deck or patio, this powerful gas grill provides an array of convenient features for successful outdoor cooking. The unit supplies four burners that deliver up to 42,000 BTUs of heat, and its award-winning Quantum Infrared grates ensure excellent results while completely eliminating flare-ups. Each burner comes with its own temperature gauge located above the control knob that reads the heat at grate level for accuracy. Whether gathering with friends or the whole family, the unit offers a generous 780 square inches of total cooking space. Its 580-square-inch main cooking area accommodates anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to steaks, veggie shish kabobs, and slabs of fresh pineapple, while the 200-square-inch upper warming rack comes in handy for keeping hamburger buns toasted or cooked food warm until it's ready to be served. The versatile grill also allows for adding wood chips directly on to the cooking grates for deliciously smoky results, plus it comes with a flush-mounted 13,000-BTU side burner for preparing side dishes quickly and efficiently. The Outdoor Stovetop side burner can also be used with the Stovetop Griddle accessory (sold separately) for making pancakes, eggs, and more. Other highlights include Surefire electronic ignition for easy start-ups, durable stainless- and painted-steel construction, and a dual fuel-source design that easily converts to natural gas with a conversion kit (sold separately). Fully assembled, the gas grill measures 59-1/4 by 22 by 46 inches.
Reader Reviews While this review is correct in stating the evenness of cooking achieved by using this grill, I caution you NOT to buy it due to the cheap materials. I have had mine 1 Year and have already had to replace the cooking grates three times. They just continue to rust. I clean it after each use, leave it uncovered during periods of good weather (as the Charbroil folks have suggested to help mitigate the issue of humidity), use the cleaning brush that is supposedly designed specifically for this grill, but nothing works. This is an extremely high maintenance grill - and I'm someone who takes care of his things. I do not expect to neglect the grill. I recognize there is some basic maintenance work required to keep equipment in tip-top shape. However, the maintenance needs of this grill far exceed that. If you're like me and want to be able to enjoy your grill while performing basic routine maintenance, this grill is not for you. Its needs far exceed routine. Also, the grates are only guaranteed for one year - shame on me, I missed that fact when I bought it. But what does that tell you? Charbroil's expectation of the life span of the most important part of the grill is only one year? I had a Weber with a grate guarantee of 10 years. It's back to Weber for me after making this one very bad mistake. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS GRILL!.
