If you are looking to buy a new grill that is compact and easy to use, then the Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is the best choice for you. Bigger is not always better, especially if you do not have enough space to accommodate the much larger types of grills.

Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill Specifications:

From Charbroil, liquid propane grill with 187 square inches cooking space for patios and small households
Constructed in rust-proof porcelain steel with Thermsulate lining and heavy-gauge porcelain-coated cooking grates; thermostatic handles
Equipped with a 10,000 BTU burner and push-button ignition; temperature gauge tracks grill heat
Adaptable to both 11-1/2- and 20-pound propane tanks
Grill measures 22 by 16-3/4 by 44 inches with a shipping weight of 52 pounds; limited lifetime warranties for grill body and parts

The Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is the best grill of its kind. If you thought it is impossible to enjoy the taste of a cookout meal, this is where you’re mistaken. This grill only takes up 28 inches of diameter in space, making it possible to fit even on just your patio. With that only comes 187 square inches of grilling area, which does not sound much, but is perfect for grilling meals during small gatherings. The nice thing about it is that you can place it anywhere since it is compact, and it also has wheels to help you move it around.

All it takes to use the Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill is a single push on the ignition button and burner control. You can easily access the propane tank as well to turn on the gas. Amazingly, this small gas grill can put off quite an amount of heat that it enough to just barely sear a steak. You may have some difficulty telling if it is even lit, but that is not unusual for a grill this size.

The Char-Broil Patio Caddie Gas Grill’s freestanding body features porcelain-steel construction that makes it resistant to rust. Heavy-gauge porcelain cooking grids allows the gas grill to evenly distribute heat as well as cleaning it with ease.

It is also equipped with a grease catcher which collects drippings for easy disposal. Thermsulate lining, which is patented by Char-broil, ensures steady temperatures, that you can also monitor using the temperature gauge.

The downside of having a small and compact grill is that the grill space is also small. It is not advisable to use in a B-B-Q party as it may take a longer time to cook the food because of the limited space. But it’s perfect for everyday family grill.

So if you are not one of those avid barbecue grillers, but still enjoy the taste, then you do not necessarily have to purchase an expensive and large grill that may end up costing you a couple of hundred dollars. Barbecue grills of this category is getting more and more popular as many people realize that they probably won’t need all the extra grilling space. Besides, whoever said you have to sacrifice the simple things that you enjoy such as barbecue just to save some money.

Char Broil Santa Fe Charcoal Grill Review

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:01:25 +0000

Want to grill your food in an old fashion way? With Char-Broil Santa Fe 491 Charcoal Grill, you get to grill your food with real charcoal added with features that would make your grilling experience as enjoyable and as easy as it should be.

Char Broil Santa Fe 491 Charcoal Grill Specifications:

Comes with heat indicator and air dampers for easy temperature control
Easy accessible front friebox
Spacious side shelves and storage rack
Porcelain coated cooking grate
Adjustable charcoal pan
492 sq. in. cooking space

This Santa Fe Charcoal Grill from Char-Broil is outstandingly complete with parts and features to meet your grilling demands. A 491 sq. in. porcelain coated cooking grate is placed right above its charcoal pan.

One great feature of this grill is that you can actually control its cooking temperature just by raising or lowering the adjustable charcoal pan. Not just that, for you to conveniently take full control of your grill, a highly accessible firebox door is located at the fore front so you can easily tend the fire anytime you want with no hassles and discomfort. In charcoal grilling, it is important to sometimes tend the fire in order to keep the temperature constant for better cooking.

Another feature that would help you tend the fire and always be in control of the temperature is its adjustable air damper. But there isn’t only one air damper built in this charcoal grill, but two to allow more air flow and control which is also an important factor in charcoal grilling. These air dampers are located at the upper and the lower part of the grill. The grill is also designed with large convenient side shelves and lower storage rack to give you more space for your cooking ingredients and materials.

As most people may admit, traditional charcoal grilling brings more enjoyment and satisfaction to our cooking. At times, charcoal heat can conveniently cook food a lot faster than with burners. What’s good in charcoal grilling than with burner equipped grills is that you get to have a much lesser operational cost and only requires low maintenance. At around $110, you get to enjoy a tasteful and well cooked meal from a charcoal grill with just the same cooking convenience and satisfaction as with enjoying the meal.

What you are going to dislike about this model is its flimsy construction. The thing leaks air at every possible place and the front door for fire access doesn’t seal and warps as it gets hot and cold. The wood slats for the side tables are a poor idea as the space between them allows things to tilt and easily fall as compared to a solid piece of wood.
