Hybrid Grills

Only in a gas grill designed for it. Charbroil Gas2Coal® grills hold charcoal in a patented stainless steel tray that sits over the burners. Your gas burners light the coals, so there's no need for a chimney starter or lighter fluid. Gas2Coal® charcoal trays are also sold separately for select Performance Series™ and Pro Series™ gas grills.

Gas2Coal® turns a gas grill into a charcoal grill in less than 60 seconds:

1. Set the charcoal tray over the gas burners.
2. Fill the tray with charcoal.
3. Replace the grill grates.
4. Turn on the burners to light the coals.

Once the coals are lit, you're ready to grill over charcoal. When you're done and the tray has cooled, lift it out, empty the ashes, and wipe it down.

Yes, if you want both fuels without owning two grills. A gas and charcoal combo grill gives you fast, easy propane cooking on busy nights and real charcoal flavor when you have more time. You also save space, since both fuels share one footprint. If you only ever cook with one fuel, a single-fuel grill may be the better fit.

The terms overlap, but at Charbroil they describe two designs. A hybrid grill, like the Gas2Coal® 4-Burner Hybrid Grill, lets you switch between gas and charcoal on the same grates. A combo grill, like the Deluxe Charcoal & Gas Combo Grill, has separate gas and charcoal chambers side by side. Both let you cook with either fuel.

Yes. Charcoal gives you a smoky base, and you can add a handful of wood chips to the hot coals for more smoke flavor. For lower, slower cooks on the Deluxe Charcoal & Gas Combo Grill, lower the fire grate and partially close the dampers to bring the temperature down.
