Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Patio Bistro Gas Grill Review

Char-Broil Patio Bistro Gas Grill

Suitable for small environments and/or small capacity cooking needs. It has a single, 13,000 BTU, stainless steel disc burner covered with a shallow, bowl-shaped heat emitter. The emitter has a hole in the middle capped off by a small heat tent. The round porcelain coated grate is a solid cast sheet of V-shaped grooves. The peaks constitute the grate surface while the valleys trap and sizzle BBQ drippings. Char-Broil’s radiant grate designs intensify heat and eliminate flare ups. Construction is stainless steel with a black porcelain coated housing.

There are 240 square inches of primary cooking surface with an 80 square inch warming rack. There is a small towel rack under the single knob control panel, a battery operated push and turn electric ignition and a lid thermometer.

A standard size propane tank can be affixed to the base with a hand tightened bolt. That keeps the tank where you need it and helps stabilize this lightweight device. Two wheels, no locking casters. It is also available as a 1750 watt electric model.
