Char-Broil Classic 360 3-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill with Side Burner

It takes about 2 hours and 2 beers to assemble this. Probably could have used another beer. Screws and hardware are packed and individually labeled to match instructions (very cool). All the parts were in one box that was heavy, but I walked several hundred feet with it. The grill burners are very good. The side burner will grill veggies, but not quite boil a quart of water. The parts that matter are labeled left and right with machine stamps. I used a screw driver (#2 Phillips) for the entire assembly. All the gas parts are assembled in the box, but you need to attach the kit to the burners by inserting three tubes at one time into larger tubes and screwing a screw. This was the hardest part for me. One note: the chain with the spring wire attached is a holder for a match, in case you need that. Confused me, but it is discussed in the safety section of the instructions.

The Char-Broil Classic 360 3-Burner Grill is a really good buy! I purchased the grill with the side burner. Assembly is going to take you a while. There are a lot of screws and parts to put together. Assembly took me around 4 hours. However, it is well worth the trouble. This grill looks great. It has a very modern look. If you are single, a couple, or a small family, this is the grill to purchase. It has plenty of cooking space, and should be able to handle as much food to be grilled as you need. This grill heats up fast, and does a great job! I have owned several grills over the years, and the Char-Broil grill is as good or better than the other grills I have owned that cost a lot more. This is a solid basic grill without all the bells and whistles which most of us really don't need. If you are looking for a grill that works great, this grill should work perfectly for you. Shipping was fast, and the grill arrived early. The box was really beat up, but the contents were in perfect shape. Good Purchase!

I had a bit of trepidation when ordering the grill because I saw so many people reported having trouble assembling it. Once I got used to the instructions though I found it easy to follow them. Just look at the picture of the parts needed, find the labeled connectors (screws and such) and put the parts together following the numbers. Not bad! Using a Phillips screwdriver and a knife, it took me a few hours to put it together and now I have a solid, functional grill that looks great and works like a champ. Note to people who want to use larger tanks: You could use a 30 or 40 pound tank with this grill but just need to set it nearby, preferably on a tank foot. It will fit. A note about the igniter button: It doesn't work very well, but don't blame the grill. Those really commonly don't work, even on fancy, expensive grills. Just use a striker, match, or fireplace lighter. Awesome grill at a fair price!

once assembled its lovely but.....instructions are a joke, and WAYYYY too much for most people, im an engineer and i put it together backwards but it works, heat is about right if you cook most on top rack. i was VERY surprised at complicated assembly, you even have to assemble the gas jets up into the individual burner sockets and i was very surprised that this step was left up to individual consumers. did i say it was hard to put together?...the packaging was ridiculous in that was a stack of cardboard 3 feet high once done, IMO MUCH of assembly should have been done at factory and break it down to consumer puts the legs and wheels on but NOOOO get ready to CUSS in assembly they should have assembled it further and save 50$ on all the cardboard packaging, other than that grill cooks well only problem ive had is the igniter doesnt work after it rains you have to light with a match or lighter after it gets rained on

I read the reviews before I bought and noticed a lot of people complained that the ignitor for the main burner didn't work. However, there were so many good reviews about what a great grill it is. So I bought. There is no spark on ours. The one for the side burner works fine. Already assembled so will try part from old grill. My husband is a mechanical genius so he will figure something out. One or more of the reviews also said no part available. Will use a long lighter if needed. Good grill for the price.

Overall this is a good, basic grill at a very attractive price. The assembly instructions could have been somewhat clearer and I think some of the assembly process could have been better designed but I got it put together with minimal tools (basically screwdriver and pliers) in a couple of hours. I would recommend doing the assembly in an open area with plent of flat surface. As for cooking, it is very good. I bought this to replace a Weber that had finally given up the ghost after many years of faithful service. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, so the price of this one attracted me and the reviews seemed pretty good. I will have to say that this grill actually does a very good job, comparable to the Weber. I don't know how long it will last, but the materials seemed pretty sturdy. I suspect a lot depends on how well you assemble it and how much use it gets. I was sorry to see that it is made in China.

I wish there would be a temperature gauge in it but that isn't a big deal. I had read reviews that said it was very difficult to put together and that concerned me. However, it wasn't that hard as long as I followed directions. One thing I did was lay out all of the parts which helped. It heats up well, has plenty of space and worked fine for our first cook out with it. I'm very pleased with it and will do great for us sitting out on our pool patio.
