Added ceramic briquettes to the bottom to simulate charcoal cooking. Fats and juices hit the hot briquettes and release smokey vapors back to the food. To hold the briquettes I placed a 10” round charcoal grate in the bottom. Fits and works great, like cooking over coals with the coals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had an electric CharBroil for 7 years that worked flawlessly. It needed the aluminum inner liner replaced and the new model doesn't have one. That was the reason for buying the new model. Tip: For proper operation make sure the grill fits over the element in front for the cover to fit properly.

Great Boat Dock Grill

Our marina does not allow anything but electric grills at our boat slips. My Charbroil Electric Grill does an exceptional job on steaks, burgers, fajitas and hotdogs. I do not understand reviews that trash this grill, it works as advertised! Yes my Charbroil gas grill at home gets hotter quicker but I have no issues with this grill. My only suggestion would be to bring back the folding side shelves that you had on these in previous years...

I really like this grill. I have had it two weeks and am happy I no longer have to mess with charcoal. I like that you can adjust the heat. I like to start it out high then turn it down and sloe cook.

Great electric grill

I have a Kamado Joe for all day smoking, but the Patio Bistro electric grill is a great companion for quick and convenient grilling. It doesn't take long to heat up and I can sear steak and burgers. When I don't have the time, like weeknights, to prepare the Kamado joe for all day smoking, the Patio Bistro is my go to machine to quickly whip out tasty grilled burgers, chicken, veggies, and seared steak.

It doesn't get hot enough. Takes longer to cook meats.
Like the size of the grill and ease of storing.
