This model is the smallest grill in Char-Broil’s Performance BBQ line. Available at Tru-Value and other independent retailers it has heat indicators above each stainless steel burner just like Char-Broil’s Commercial grills. There’s no natural gas option on the grill, which is a shame for people weber spirit 2 who don’t like cooking with propane, but that’s really one of the only downsides to the grill. The storage space may get just a little tight with the propane tank, but I’m sure you’ll be able to manage. What I can’t speak to is how well it will hold up over multiple grilling seasons.
The burners have a 5-year warranty, the firebox and lid 2 years, and all other parts 1 year. We gave it our best to make this review as precise and honest as possible so that you can make an educated decision. Char-Broil is a well-known and longstanding grill manufacturer.
The lid is also made from stainless steel, as well as its swing-away warming rack. On the whole, the entire construction is steady enough to ensure safety while using. Our most important source of sustenance is people who join our Pitmaster Club.
The burgers cooked evenly, though on high heat they were more well done than I prefer. With the Performance XL, my chickens took on average of 1 hour, 11 minutes to fully cook, not including a 10-minute preheat. That’s faster than the other three grills we tested, and the chickens from this weber spirit 2 grill were easily the favorite of the group. The grill grates are porcelain-coated cast iron meaning they’re not only made to last but also to be easily cleaned using a hard wire brush. That means you don’t need to worry about washing or scrubbing these to get them ready for the next use.
The TRU-Infrared technology provides better performance with greater temperature range and control. Sits on four casters for increased mobility- two of which lock- to keep the grill in place while in use. Measures 56.7-inches weber spirit 2 wide x 45.5-inches high x 23.4-inches deep. Flipping burgers is easy and straightforward with the non-stick porcelain coated cast iron grates, and the ample cooking space easily accommodates at least 16 burgers.
