Charmglow 95 Inch Luxury Island

On October 8, 2015, Brinkmann filed for Chapter 11 under the US bankruptcy code. 

Like many of Brinkmann’s Charmglow grills, this enormous contraption is discontinued. The compelling picture above offered visions of grandeur โ€“ a spectacular outdoor kitchen in a box. Take a hard look at the price tag then look again without rose colored glasses. This “luxury” patio island is poorly designed and poorly constructed with cheap materials.

Still there’s no denying the list of features is long: 2 โ€“ 15,000 BTU U-burners in the middle, double 12,000 BTU side burners on the left and a 12,000 BTU sear burner on the right. Adjustable lights hang overhead. Large work surfaces left and right with drawers under each. A warming drawer under the main burners. A built in 1.7 cubic foot refrigerator and an enclosed cabinet with a slide out LP tank drawer.  

Brinkmann often makes decent grills considering the low low price, but you’re asking for trouble with this big BBQ beast. True, you sure get an awful lot for your money, but 800 bucks could go a long way in buying a modest, solid, dependable grill that will last decades instead of a couple years.
