Char-Griller 5050 Duo
Char-Griller offers an all-in-one package with the 5050 Duo combination grill. You can use propane or charcoal, whatever you like. It also has a side burner for side items or sauces. It’s perfect for the grill master who likes to experiment with different methods but doesn’t want 3 or 4 different pieces of equipment. It’s a great idea to have all these in one, but it ends up doing everything just okay, not great. The performance of the charcoal side is not as good as a dedicated charcoal grill. It should be more air tight. The gas side works pretty well too. There is plenty of cooking area and the temperature can be controlled nicely with the three burners. Once again, this grill does a lot of things, but not all of them so great. It would be perfect for someone getting into all the different types of grilling. If can be found for anywhere from $250 and up.
