Best to carry in one hand — A die-cast aluminium tabletop with a latching lid and a handle, 9,500 BTU of TRU-Infrared heat under a 200-square-inch grate, about 24 pounds. America's Test Kitchen's winner and Wirecutter's runner-up, 4.4★ across 3,478 owners on a listing sold by Amazon — and a critical tail that is mostly the regulator

Pros
- Wirecutter: 'This 20-pound propane grill folds up like a suitcase, and you can carry it with one hand'
- America's Test Kitchen's winner: 'it produced juicy, evenly cooked burgers and steak with crisp grill marks'
- Five years on the burner, lid and firebox in Char-Broil's own spec table
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com on a deep, long-running owner base
Cons
- The regulator is the tail: six of ten critical cards describe a regulator or control valve that jams, sticks on high, stops gas flow or needed replacing more than once
- Wirecutter: 'It’s not great at searing', and Good Housekeeping found 'it was a little hard to control the temperature'
- The grate, emitter and every other part — the regulator included — get one year
- Out of stock on charbroil.com when we read it, and Char-Broil's warranty requires an authorized seller
The regulator and control valve. A valve stem of 'cheap plastic' that jams (2021); two regulators and a hose replaced in the first twelve months of daily use (2023); a knob 'loose as a goose' that stuck on high and then passed no gas (August 2026); three regulators over five years before one sealed (2025); a broken knob on arrival (2025). Others: heavy smoke on first cooks and a grate that traps food.
