Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best grill I’ve been using The Essential Gas Grill for a while now and I’ve honestly been so impressed. It’s the perfect entry-level grill if you want something easy to use but still powerful. The TRU-Infrared™ Technology really does make a difference — everything comes off juicier and more evenly cooked, and you don’t get those sudden flare-ups that normally happen on gas BBQs. It has a surprisingly large cooking surface (big enough when you’re hosting or cooking different foods at once), and I love that it heats up quickly so you’re not standing around waiting. The controls are really intuitive and it’s one of those grills that makes you feel confident using it straight away. If you’re looking for a fuss-free gas BBQ that delivers great results without needing loads of experience, I’d definitely recommend this one. A proper summer staple.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best BBQ I’ve really enjoyed using the Char-Broil Essential 3G 3-Burner BBQ over the summer months. The easy ignition system makes firing it up effortless, and the deflector grates do an excellent job of distributing heat evenly, giving great results every time. From juicy steaks to grilled veggies, everything cooks perfectly. The build quality feels solid, and it’s simple to clean after each use. Overall, it’s made outdoor cooking an absolute pleasure — a reliable, well-designed grill that’s truly a dream to cook on.

Can the gas tank be stored in the cupboard underneath when in use? I would have thought that was the main reason for the cupboard but I've seen some manufacturers state it is not suitable for a tank. I'd rather it was hidden away out of direct sunlight.

Asked by: Fraser
Hello Fraser. The cabinet is for storing the gas cylinder, which can also remain there when in use. Best regards, Your Char-Broil Service Team
