This is either my fourth or fifth Patio Bistro. I cook on it three or four times a week. It's as easy as turning on a stove. I couldn't be happier.

Dont heat electrically very fast. dont heat food equally accross the grill. Seems this could have been corrected either by better engineering of the draft and / or the burner.

The Charbroil Bistro Electric Charcoal Grill with Griddle I originally had the Bistro Electric basic model several years ago....Charbroil has improved this line of product greatly. If you live in a condo, villas, apartment or other grill code restricted area...this is a must have! The grill is electric with a charcoal option that is easy-to-use. The grill comes with a Stainless steel griddle that is conveniently stored underneath the business part of the grill. The great thing is you may take apart the entire top portion of the grill, except the infrared coil, rinse in your sink and then place grate and all into your dishwasher. All of the parts are stainless steel some have a ceramic type coating but are dishwasher safe. To add life to your grill be sure to purchase a grill cover that fits to keep dust and the elements off your Bistro. Now to the cooking part. I always Preheat the grill at level 5 setting being sure to have any other baskets, trays or the griddle preheating as well. Use a preferred cooking spray that can be used at high temperatures for all your accessories including the grill grate this makes cleanup tons easier. Once grill is preheated turn it off and quickly spray grate or accessories you will be using with cooking spray then close grill turn back on (this will minimize any flare-up that may occur). Now adjust temperature to the desired temp. There are excellent cooking guides at Charbroil.com plus you may want to register your grill for parts later on. Overall this beast is totally cool! And remember keep the lid CLOSED while cooking, a kettle grill requires the lid to be closed for proper airflow. Happy Grilling Everyone!

It was not that hard to assemble and I am looking forward to doing some grilling and maybe a bit of smoking with it

Appearance and size are well crafted. Super disappointed after researching this product to find it so difficult to clean on the very first use. I read the claims of it being easy, but I fail to understand how anyone describes cleaning this as easy. It must have taken me at least an hour after cooling to attempt cleaning the grates and reflector baffles, "attempt" being the operative word. Decided burgers would be a nice safe start to begin with in grill mode and even though the cooking process went ok I was left with burnt residue fused to the grates that simply would not come completely off. I soaked and scrubbed with a stiff (not damaging) brush. but it wouldn't budge. And, yes, I did apply oil to the grates before grilling. In addition, the reflector plates inside were also coated with residue and blackened during first use. Instructions emphasized the need to keep all parts clean but I don't see how that is possible when the carbon bakes on as if being seasoned. There is no way to retain any reflective properties on these once they darken with use. If this is expected and not a concern it was not explained. But if every use requires this level of (unsuccessful) cleaning I do not feel it is worth all the time and effort. At this point I am debating whether to register the product or return it.

The new looks a slick and I love the new logo "CB" Charbroil should hold its own for a barbecuing leader. This grill is a serious game changer and my buddies are so jealous!Heats up to over 600 degrees.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
