Char-Broil Gas2Coal 440 Hybrid Gas and Charcoal Grill

The Gas2Coal 440 is a genuine hybrid barbecue: it operates as a 4-burner gas grill for fast weekday cooking and converts to charcoal mode by sliding a charcoal tray insert under the cast iron grates in approximately 60 seconds. No tools required for the conversion. Gas provides the 40,000 BTU total output and instant ignition; charcoal provides authentic smoky char and the high-heat searing that gas cannot replicate. The porcelain-coated cast iron grates retain heat well and produce strong grill marks on steaks and vegetables. The stainless steel lid and firebox resist coastal weather. Side burner adds a useful extra cooking zone for sauces and sides. At £449 (from £699.99) and 4.4 stars from 462 buyers, the Gas2Coal 440 is competitive against dedicated gas grills at a similar price point, with the charcoal capability added for free.
