Charbroil Portable Convective 1-Burner Propane Gas Grill - 465133010

Shipped this to the hotel for the Packers tailgate as I have two previous years. Great little grill for tailgating. I only use it once as we can't bring it back on the flight. I end up giving it to a neighbor tailgater and they seem happy with the quality. I'll continue to buy it for the price!

Bought this grill for my dirt bike trail riding/racing trips. Most riding places here in the PNW only allow gas cooking as the fire hazard increases when the riding season approaches. We went to the desert 100 race with a small charcoal pit only to find out that we couldn't use it. Everyone else there had some type of gas cooking devise, griddles, pits, etc... Soooo....I bought this one. I've only used it once as I just got it. I put it to the test with chicken thighs, bone in and skin on. Heat distribution - This seems fine but as with all pits you'll have some hot spots. Nothing too crazy on this one though. My hot spots are where the darker chicken thighs are towards the front and one small one towards the back. See the 3rd picture. The pit ran a little hot on low, again nothing crazy but just a bit hot in my opinion, it cooked the chicken pretty quick. Cooked the chicken to 203 F and skin was nice and crispy with only one flip. Kept the lid on it and flame ups were zero and it only flamed up when I opened the lid. A quick spray with a water filled spray bottle worked perfectly. The heat shield/drip shield worked like a champ. I think keeping the heat/drip shield clean will be the key in avoiding flame ups. I didn't time the cook so I'm guessing here. I think it took less than 25 minutes to cook the 4 pieces of chicken. I started with a full little propane bottle and when done I felt like it only used maybe a quarter or so of propane, plenty leftover to do more cooking. Pretty good consumption rate. I didn't not run the pit on high for 10 to 15 minutes prior to cooking! To me this pit gets way too hot for that, I did run it on low until the smoke stopped, I guess it was burning off the manufacturing preservation oil. I did set up a board to block the wind however I took it down after the pictures and the pit did fine, wind was only 2 to 4 mph, so not much. Overall - Great pit so far, I think I'm going to really like it!

Bought this two years ago on a "warehouse" deal, was even cheaper. Didn't want to carry a larger nicer grill in my small RV all the time. This would be a great to use a lot for a season, then leave it, but it seems to last OK even though it is cheaply made of mild steel. I don't clean it, I just use it. The wire legs fold up nicely, the handles work well. One complaint though, the black coating on the shell inside and outside, I assume some kind of high heat paint, tends to burn on the inside and peel off. I guess as it's burning it's off gassing to the food? I don't know, won't kill me. There seems to be a few grills that look pretty much like this, but the folding wire legs are a big plus as they lock the shells together. Btw, I found this Camco grill bag on Amazon that fits this perfectly, should keep the grill residue contained when I do bring it in the RV. I also got a "warehouse" price on this. Here's the Amazon link. https://a.co/d/eLbWohL

Works good. Just an inexpensive propane bbq for seldom use camping.

I couldn’t be happier with the Char-Broil 1-Burner Portable Grill. It’s compact, lightweight, and heats up quickly perfect for camping, tailgating, or even quick weeknight grilling on the patio. Despite its small size, it delivers impressive heat and cooks evenly across the grate. The stainless steel body looks sleek and feels durable enough for regular use. The foldable legs and heat-resistant handles make it incredibly easy to transport and store. I also appreciate how simple it is to clean—just wipe down the porcelain-coated grate and empty the drip tray. It runs on a small propane canister, which is super convenient, and I’ve had no trouble getting a steady flame even after multiple uses. No frills, just solid performance. If you’re looking for a portable, affordable, and efficient grill for small meals or on-the-go cooking, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

This grill ruined my 4th of July weekend. Save your cookout, campout or whatever, and buy something else. The most egregious of the many faults of this grill (cheap almost-fits-together construction, plastic and rubber used for heat-sensitive areas like the top handle, a regulator that is more of an on/off switch than a dial, and legs that interfere with the placement of the propane bottle in the regulator so its never quite secure or sturdy on the table - and yes, you need a table because a Coleman 1lb. bottle hangs down 6-8 inches below the legs) is the total lack of heat control or distribution. Regardless of where you set the knob (using Coleman brand 1lb. Propane bottles), the single burner somehow produces enough heat to scorch any food placed on the rack without cooking the inside. The first night, my hot dogs were burnt and blacked on the outside (yes, we did the initial burn-off of the manufacturing coating before attempting to cook on it) and still COLD on the inside! Same with the burgers on day 2. Blacked and charred on the outside and raw on the inside, even on the lowest setting (and no, they were not frozen)! ‘It must have good cooking power’ you might be thinking? No. A 2 cup percolator left on the grill for over an hour on the highest setting NEVER BOILED. After a full hour of high heat, the sides of the percolator were still luke warm to the touch. I wound up building a fire, letting it burn down to a bed of coals, and moving the percolator to the fire pit to make my (and my whole camp site’s) coffee 2 1/2 hours after we all woke up. Standing around staring at a grill burn through propane for over an hour with no noticeable effect on the coffee 6-8 hungover campers are waiting for is not worth the $50 price tag. By the third night we left the campsite early and drove to a local friend’s house to cook our 4th of July steaks on their back deck grill. I could not return this pos fast enough. Save yourself.

Is it the biggest grill? Is it the best grill? No. But its TOTALLY FINE for packing in the car and taking camping or to the beach. It won't smoke a brisket or replace your main grill, but it will grill burgers and a couple chicken legs and some hot dogs outside. It cooks reasonably evenly and gets nice and hot. I,ve used it to grill frozen pizza, tortillas, chicken skewers, burgers and dogs. Its fairly sturdy and it packs FLAT. I wanted a grill for pure portability and this is perfect.

I have used this grill for almost exactly one year now. It served me well for about 6 months then it started breaking down... The internal fire guard or drip guard rusted out where the screws hold it in place. then the body rusted out to form new openings.... I worked around that problem, but it is simply degrading too much now... I tried building another drip guard, but it only absorbs too much heat.. so the steaks just don't sizzle now.... I may be using this grill wrong... It is portable... so maybe occasional use would make it last much longer... I leave mine in place and outside... So it is subject to the elements.... I guess I made the wrong choice for an outside grill, but I was on a strict budget... So I tried... I would not get this grill again for any reason... it just left a bad taste... I hope that others have better luck with theirs...
