Contrary to popular opinion, this is a very good grill.
I owned a Weber for fifteen years and recently bought
a new Silver B. Weber's are without a doubt the best
built grills under $400.
Now as to this Char-Broil. I had the pleasure of cooking on
this same grill recently at a party. I loved the griddle that
comes standard and the cast iron burners were very precise.
My only complaint is the lid allows a lot of heat through because
it is not double walled. It is very tall though and that helps.
Insulated lids aren't standard until you get into the
$700 dollar range for any manufacturer.
