Char-Broil Gas BBQ Gas2Coal 330 Hybrid - 3-burner Gas & Coal Barbecue Grill - Ideal for Outdoor Cooking, Garden, Balcony and Patio

The Char-Broil Gas2Coal 330 is the kind of grill that makes you feel like you’ve cracked the BBQ code. Gas convenience and charcoal flavor in one unit? Genius - and it actually works exactly as promised. The switch from gas to coal takes only a few minutes: just remove the grates, drop in the charcoal tray, and ignite it using the gas burners. No lighter fluid, no fuss - just perfect glowing coals ready for searing. The gas mode heats evenly and fast, great for weekday grilling, while the coal mode gives that unmistakable smoky character that makes weekends taste like summer. Build quality is solid, ignition is reliable, and the temperature control is precise. Cleanup’s surprisingly easy for a hybrid - the tray design minimizes ash mess. Whether you’re a weekday gas griller or a weekend pit-flavor purist, this BBQ covers both worlds beautifully. It’s smart engineering with a side of delicious.

This is an excellent product, good looking and efficient. I use the grill mats to help keep it clean. It is however a complicated build, the instructions are clear but I had a mechanical engineer do mine and it still took him 4 hours plus.

Bought this on 'offer' which made it a great price! Quickly delivered in a large very strong box (heavy too) with all parts well wrapped and protected by bubble bags and polystyrene - took a couple of weeks of wheely bins (green) to get rid of it all. ALL the bits were there and all the steel BBQ in A1 indamaged condition. The instructions are a series of pictures but fairly logical. Spend some time identifying what's what and then took an easy 2.5 hrs to do the build. Tip, just loosly tighten the build until all the frame is together before tightening up fully! Only help needed was to lift the central burner unit into place. The end result is a good sized, very solid BBQ that's streets ahead of my previous £100 charcoal one (simple 10 year old dual barrel now rusting badly). Tested with gas and all works, just need my first excuse to give it a proper run on both gas and charcoal. Can't fault the BBQ so far and building was easier than I'd expected. It's also a beast and only the 3 burner version. Photo's after the main building before the side shelves were completed - couple of hrs to this point

I opted for the BBQ to be built on delivery so cannot comment how it is to build. Two men built it in just less than a couple of hours. Looks amazing and very sturdy. I did take time to look at the assembly book, it didn't look very clear to me. Having looked at many Char-Broil YouTube videos, I was trying to find out if you need to remove the 3 silver gas covers before you place in the coal tray. I've seen videos that have them remain inside whilst I've seen others which have them removed first. The book suggests they should be removed, again its not clear. I decided to leave them in because they protect the gas burners and I want to keep it as clean as possible, this method worked fine, placed a flat layer of coal and lit the gas, it was really hot and smokey in less than a few minutes, turned the gas off and started to cook the food. Please could somebody kindly reply if you know if the silver gas plates should be removed when using the coal tray. Thanks in advance. The heat seemed evenly spread, I made use of all the BBQ cooking space, all the food was cooked exactly the same so no cool spots, it tasted lovely, smokey and the smell was amazing. Behind the BBQ there's a sign that states not to store your gas bottle on the shelf under the BBQ. I have a big bottle that won't fit anyway, would be nice to have it out of the way but that's no big deal. Easy to wheel to my garage at the end of summer. The Char-Broil protective cover for this model is a bit expensive, but probably worth getting it to save the elements ruining the BBQ. We also used it without the coal tray just using just gas and we regret it, food was still cooked even and tasted amazing, Its very awkward to clean the base. It does a good job of draining the grease into a grease cup, there's no getting away from the thick burnt oil that burns onto your base. I would therefore recommend always using the coal tray if you like to keep it clean. Overal I'm happy with my BBQ, food tastes lovely and very easy to get going. If I could change anything, it would be much better to have a base tray that you can slide out periodically to make cleaning easier. Great BBQ all the same for the price, looks nice and would recommend. Note this version did not come with the bottle opener I've seen on other 3 burner models.

Its a brilliant Barbecue - love the fact you can use gas and coals. But after reading the reviews definitely pay for the assembly - it does take a while like the previous review nearly three hours. The instructions once you have read twice are clear but it does take time. Its a very well built barbecue and when your putting this together the craftmanship is excellent - all the screws are coated and line up (simple things but great when it works) We are so glad we got this and once up and working very easy to use and clean, so a happy summer and winter ahead.

Sturdy BBQ- seems great quality and took me 3 hours to build

Takes a couple of hours to build as people have mentioned, build quality is far superior than my previous gas BBQ but that should be expected as it was double the price. The hybrid thing seems to work quite well, I've done 3 coal cooks on it all have gone well, there is no air flow control like a weber when using coal so temp control is limited to opening and shutting the lid. Cooking on gas also seems to work fine, very good temp control, cleaning is a bit of a problem as the bottom of the BBQ bit is not removable, my old BBQ the whole under side beneath the burners slid out and could be scraped clean quite easily, the Coal 2 gas requires you to remove all the grill, heat shields etc to get and clean it. (Unfortunately, it does say in the small print that this BBQ is not designed to be cleaned by turning it on full and burning excessive off, I hadn’t seen this bit, this technique worked fine on my old barby for years.) The grill rack itself is very sturdy cast iron, but things do seem to stick to it quite easily. Overall would I buy again, the jury’s still out…

Absolutely fantastic BBQ. Arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. The standard and quality of the BBQ is second to none. It took me a while to assemble but I followed the instructions to the letter and everything turned out just fine. I give this BBQ 10 out of 10. Hybrid, started on gas then cooked on charcoal, an absolute Game Changer.
