Spirit E-220 was one of the smallest models in Weber's stainless steel, entry level line, It was replaced by Weber Spirit II. We reviewed it and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. A solid gasser with two side shelves that folded down making it ideal for environments where space is an issue.

On paper this discontinued system looked good. But true to Char-Broil form, for everyone who loved the Grill2Go Ice, there was another who suffered extreme buyer's remorse. Our review found that some loved the collapsible design and ease of transport, others complained the telescoping legs and handle were rickety and the entire unit was too heavy to lift.

This 2-burner works well in small spaces like a condo patio. When not in use, one can fold down the side shelves and roll it out of the way. We reviewed this little gasser our awarded our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal Award. But if space is not an issue and you can afford the extra money, we recommend upgrading to the 3-burner.

Char-Broil's discontinued Gourmet line was more like an indirect gas oven than a grill. It has a curved trough under the coated cast iron grates. We reviewed the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Gourmet 2-Burner and gave Gourmet our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.

This discontinued 4-burner was the largest model in Char-Broil's Gourmet line. We reviewed it previously. Gourmet's had an unusual design. Below the porcelain coated cast iron grates sat a dark non-stick trough that radiated heat to the cooking surface. This made the entire grill an indirect cooker. We gave Gourmet our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.

We reviewed Weber's full size Q Series Grills which grew from the popularity of their small portable Q 100/120 and 200/220 models. Many owners found they liked these little grills both on the go or at home. So Weber made them bigger with hose and regulator for a 20lb. LP tank standard and put them on a small cart.
