The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, Char-Broil's Pro Series with Amplifire infrared is the most polarizing pick, but it has genuine high-trust support. r/grilling owners say build quality is 'better than an entry level Napoleon or Spirit' with a larger cooking area, and one long-time owner called a Char-Broil TRU-Infrared 'the best gas grill in my decades of grilling experiences.' Infrared's selling point, per the community, is fewer flare-ups and moist results. The disagreement is real and worth surfacing: high-trust threads also report 'VERY uneven heating' with all four burners on and grates that 'clog up with every use and are a pain to clean.' Brand-site reviews echo the 'excellent performance, junk steel' tension.

Where it falls short
- High-trust r/grilling owners report 'VERY uneven heating' with all burners on

- Brand and community reviews flag cheap/'junk' steel durability concerns
- Positive expert coverage skews toward brand-site and unknown-trust sources

- Modular Cooking System
- Go from classic grilling to versatile griddling in under 90 seconds or swap to charcoal grilling with our patented Gas2Coal charcoal tray (sold separately).
- Gas Grill
- Powered by liquid propane gas, this grill heats up to 500°F in just under 10 minutes and maintains even heat. The easy-to-clean cast-iron grates are porcelain-coated to resist rust and help you achieve delectable grill marks.
- Griddle Top
- A heavy-duty, 328-square-inch cold rolled steel griddle surface delivers even heat for optimum cooking performance. It has a rear slot to deposit excess grease and legs that allow it to hang from the griddle rail when not in use.
- Cooking Technology
- The Amplifire cooking system grills juicier food, eliminates guesswork and prevents flare-ups to deliver great tasting food every time, no matter your skill level.
- Charcoal Tray
- Buy the patented Gas2Coal charcoal tray(s) and place over the burners, add charcoal, and ignite to enjoy irresistible, chargrilled flavor.
- Cooking Area
- Enjoy 535-square-inches of primary cooking space so you can cook up to 25 burgers, 18 chicken breasts, or 12 steaks at a time. You can also use the 155-square-inch warming rack to cook with indirect heat and keep food warm.
- Side Shelf
- The oversized side shelf provides ample space to set plates, tools, sauces and rubs while you grill.
- Btu Rating
- This grill has a 45,000 BTU rating. BTU is a measurement of energy used by your grill and is not related to how hot it will get. Grills with lower BTUs burn less fuel to cook your food.
The build quality seems pretty good and better than an entry level Napolean or Spirit, plus larger area and a griddle insert (and charcoal trays)
I have had a 4 burner Charbroil TRUinfrared pro for many years and it's the best gas grill in my decades of grilling experiences. The ...
