CHAR-BROIL – THE TRU-INFRARED INNOVATORS DELIVER HIGH PERFORMANCE BBQ

Char-Broil has been innovating BBQ cooking since the launch of its first grill in the 1940s, and the same principles for product development remain to this day:  to create BBQs that are unique, high-performing, ergonomically-designed and simple to use.

Char-Broil has a BBQ to suit every type of outdoor chef, offering a choice of gas or charcoal models, portable grills, smokers and Gas2Coal hybrids. Char-Broil’s classic charcoal Kettleman BBQ has recently been awarded an Indy Best Buy 2022.

Constantly looking to improve on every level, Char-Broil is committed to enhancing existing ranges as well as introducing new products to market.  For 2022, Char-Broil has updated its Professional Professional PRO & CORE Line BBQs which now come with a charcoal tray, enabling you to quickly and easily switch from cooking with gas to cooking with charcoal.  Char-Broil has been leading the way in the hybrid sector with its best-selling Gas2Coal ranges, delivering flexibility and flavour for every BBQ need.

Char-Broil’s innovative BBQ range for 2022 is the Performance 2.0 line, in a compact new shape to take up less garden space while still packed with high-performing features.  Key to this is an enhanced version of Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared cooking system – which ensures perfectly even heat across the whole grill, with no flare-ups, and up to 50% juicier food.

The Char-Broil Performance launch in 2022 is supported by a Char-Broil brand advertising campaign, in print and online, alongside dynamic brand and product promotions via social channels.  The campaigns emphasise the benefits of TRU-Infrared working perfectly together with the Performance BBQs.  Char-Broil UK has also ramped up its promotional partnerships with brands and influencers including Beefsteak Club Wines and BBQ Lads.

The 2022 product introductions are:

Performance CORE: entry-level, mid-range, compact gas grill delivering a consistently successful BBQ experience. Comes in a black finish with 2- 3- and 4-burner options

Performance PRO: the versatile, compact, mid-range gas grill which comes with an additional cast iron griddle to ensure multiple grilling options.  Comes in stainless steel with 2-3- and 4-burner options, side burner, bottle opener, illuminated LED knobs

All models feature the improved Char-Broil TRU-Infrared system, which delivers the following key benefits:

• up to 50% juicier food
• 100% even heat distribution
• no flare-ups
• easy cleaning
• up to 30% more economical consumption

In addition to faster faster heat-up times – up to 315^o in 11-13 minutes – these all add up to a perfect BBQ performance every time, with delicious, evenly-cooked, juicy results.

Char-Broil Performance CORE

The Performance CORE is Char-Broil’s entry-level, mid-range, compact TRU-Infrared gas BBQ. It’s designed to make it as easy as possible for even the most novice of BBQ-ers to deliver superb grilling results.

Better grilling results

The fuel-efficient stainless-steel burners quickly bring the grill up to temperature, while the unique TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology distributes heat evenly, making your food up to 50% juicier.  SureFire ignition is started at the touch of a button, allowing each stainless steel burner to be ignited individually and independently, without any open flames – helping budding professional grillers enjoy a safe BBQ experience.

To further assist excellent grilling results, a cold-rolled steel lid provides excellent insulation to help maintain constant heat, the in-built lid-mounted temperature gauge offers precision feedback allowing you to easily monitor cooking temperatures, and porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates ensure greater heat retention and perfect sear marks.

Designed for safety, ease of use and flexibility

Solid rounded handles allow easy opening and closing and four heavy-duty locking casters ensure easy mobility and the best possible stability when in use.

The Performance CORE comes in a compact, modern black steel design, with large side table areas for additional working space and storage space for a 5 kg gas bottle. It also boasts handy Gear Trax tool hooks, which allow you to keep all your barbecue utensils to hand.

The grill is packaged in an environmentally friendly way without any polystyrene in FSC-certified cardboard packaging, and comes with an increased number of ready-mounted components for up to 30% faster assembly times.

Char-Broil Performance PRO

The Performance PRO is a quality stainless steel TRU-Infrared BBQ, designed to provide ease of use and flexibility, as well as good looks and ergonomic design. 

Better grilling results

The fuel-efficient stainless-steel burners quickly bring the grill up to temperature, while the unique TRU-Infrared™ cooking technology distributes heat evenly, making your food up to 50% juicier.  SureFire ignition allows each stainless steel burner to be ignited individually and independently, enabling you to get the BBQ started quickly and safely, and the lid provides constant heat for excellent cooking results.

For additional grilling options, each PRO model comes with an extra griddle made of sold cast iron featuring one smooth side – ideal for eggs and pancakes – and one ribbed side for grilling vegetables and smaller cuts of meat.  Furthermore, the 3- and 4-burner models also come with a Chef’s Delight porcelain grill topper which diffuses heat and keeps food away from direct flame – making it great for heating up delicate foods or keeping cooked foods warm.

Quality design

The double-layer cold-rolled stainless steel lid ensures constant temperatures and optimal insulation. The lid also has newly designed robust end caps for stability and longevity and a lid-mounted temperature gauge for precise feedback on internal cooking temperatures.

Versatility and convenience

A large stainless steel foldable side shelf gives additional work space, as well as a convenient foldable way of saving space when storing.  A handy side burner enables quick warm-up of sauces and side dishes, and an integrated bottle opener ensures speedy refreshment for the BBQ chef and guests! 

Aesthetically, there’s an attractive control panel with red LED illumination, and every element of the BBQ is ergonomically designed for ease of use.  The BBQ is delivered with an increased number of ready-mounted components for up to 30% faster assembly times.
