Combined, this charcoal-and-gas-grill combo and smoker has 750 square inches of primary cooking surface. A charcoal grill is a great addition to your weekend BBQ or camping trip. The grill runs on lumps of charcoal or charcoal briquettes so that the food has that classic smokey flavor.
When they released their patented design about gas and charcoal all-in-one elements, it really set the standards for such a high-quality versatile grill. It has some of the leading elements and most popular design features for all your grilling needs. It’s not often that you find such a quality versatile grill at such an affordable price. On the other side, you have a manually controlled charcoal/wood burning chamber if you want more smoke than a traditional pellet grill/smoker can provide. There are many different types of grill smoker combos available and they don’t all do the same thing.
Additionally, the charcoal side has an area perfect for smoking or grilling, depending on what you prefer. As with other combination grills, the setup for this grill features the side-by-side orientation of the two designs. Between the two grill areas, they share more than 500 square inches of cooking space which makes it much more convenient than most.
A regular gas grill offers more convenience, fast, and even heating through efficient burners. Depending on the size of the cooking space, it’s good if your gas and charcoal combo has two burners on the smaller models and at least three burners on the larger combo grills. As with standard grills, hybrid gas grills also come with additional features designed to make using them easier. Many have side tables for prepping food that’s coming on and off the grill. Some hybrid grills also offer storage cabinets as well as shelves and hooks for grill tools. Side burners for preparing sauces and side dishes and temperature gauges on the grill lids are also common features on this type of grill.
Below is a breakdown of the types of combos that are available so you can determine which suits you. If what you really want is that unique charcoal grill flavor, we recommend the Char-Griller Charcoal Grills Combo Grills E1224. The joy of the side fire box is that you can grill your food on the main grill and cook a side dish, like corn on the cob, in the box at the same time, at two different temperatures.
