It’s great that you clean the inside! You may want to consider also cleaning the outside of the grill, that thing looks haggard!!
100% you right
That's how he shows up to the cook out meet and knows it's his BBQ
Quick trick I use spray vinegar with lemon juice then let the grill get very hot and use dawn soap with baking soda comes out brand spanking new if u don't have baking soda that's fine but trust me the baking soda eats the dirt n grime n also makes a huge difference.
I like coming across a regular guy’s video and point of view when I’m researching a new purchase as I believe this is the grill I’ll get. I got more from this one video than the last five polished professional (paid promoter) made “commercials” thanks
Just got one of those with 3 burners. I use it almost daily. Thing pegs 650 degrees and cooks everything so evenly.
Love it!
Bacon wrapped fillets and crab stuffed mushrooms? You guys eat like royalty. It's 10pm on a Tuesday in Florida and just fired up my grill for some burgers because of this video. Thanks.
I remember when you first bought the grill and watched how you put it together - great show - Thank you. Best regards from Norway!
:o)
Thanks for watching!
"Grate" idea on pressure washing the grates! Thank you for the idea.
The water blaster...yesssss! Thought I was the only one did that, but hell.. saves sooo much time! Soon as they dry...rub them over with some cooking oil and place back in the grill.
The best!
I found the same grill used on FB for less then $100 and it still impresses me to this day. I love it
mines been good to me.
Been using these grills for a decade and never thought of this. F’g genius
I’ve had a char broiler commercial for 15 years. It’s not an infrared but it’s been very good. As long as you take good care of it, it will last a long time. The commercial series also gets you
Lifetime replacement burners.
I have a char broil grill and to keeps things from flaming up I put a sheet of heavy aluminium foil on the grill. I also punch holes between the burners to keep the grease from flaring up. I would put a hole in the front and one on the rear. When I am threw all I have to do is wrap the foil up and throw it away. The grill stays clean for the most part.
Char broil products seem to be the best consumer grade grilling equipment available. I was given an old patio bistro electric… it was in bad shape & worked for about a year. I just replaced the element and fixed a ground fault in the controller… it’s 10 years old… cooks fantastic.
Amazing cleaning mate, keep it up! cheers
Thanks, will do!
I like how easy this thing starts up
I have a 6 year old 2-burner Tru infrared model and it cooks as good as day 1. The Z-grillls are due for a change soon. It gets up to temp very fast, cooks the outside perfectly without drying up and the juices fall into the tray and sizzle off adding extra flavor to whatever you're cooking without messing up the burners or fire box. The burners are mint after 6 years which I've never seen in a grill. This bbq was originally $179 when I got it on special... Incredible value.
Awesome video I just purchased this grill and will be setting up this weekend! 🙌🏾
Thanks for the video!! I've been wanting to find out how to clean those!
The most relatable part of this video, for men, is at 6:16 when he moves the steak 1 inch on the grill going “oh yeah”
You know it. Some good stuff for sure.
I have one and it’s great. No flare ups
Great to hear you're still loving your Char-Broil. Keep it up.
My 3 Burner is 6 months old. Love it...but the black paint on both sides of the rear edges are flaking the same as the one here. Any suggestions??
The new inferred grills are junk! After using it for a couple of weeks it will start to burn out only to backfire when restarting! It's a known issue that Char broil doesn't want you to know!
thank you for this!!!!!
Years ago when my father in law moved to a smaller house he gave us his big Weber grill, so we bought him one of these for his new place. He passed 12/2018 and gave us this one too. I used it some last year and am giving it a serious shot this season to see if I will use this one or the Weber which needs some internal parts replaced. This Char broil grill is different, works and cooks differently (seems to smoke somewhat too) so I am adjusting to it, and will give it a real good shot as I do want to like this grill but time will tell which one I stick with.
It will smoke a little more but it will not flame up on you which is the best thing ever.
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina Thanks! I know that some of the smoking today was on purpose because I saw that you should spray Canola oil on the plates with the holes in them to "season" them, don't know if my father in law ever did that so I did it as it said you can do it anytime so I did that and let it crank away on high to burn a lot of stuff off. I'll have to see how it operates after doing that.
Dude clean your grill
Check out my 2 year review of the grill
He doesn't care about the side shelves :P
All weather & geo disasters are planned & engineered...NWO Rothschild Bankster psychopaths control all governments
It would still look pretty new if you wiped it down and cleaned it after you’ve made a mess. Also recommend using a vegetable canola or peanut oil to keep the cooking grates seasoned and clean. They wouldn’t be rusted if you did that and a lot of the food wouldnt stick like that. Those are made of cast iron and should be treated much like a cast iron skillet. If you can’t/won’t do the regular maintenance or clean it after every use then buy a grill with stainless grates.
They are cast iron but they're coated with Porcelain so they don't need seasoned do they? Do you season porcelain?
Cinnabuns2009 The porcelain chips easily, especially on crappy charbroil grills.
I am new to grilling. What do you mean by seasoning the cast iron?
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew this isn’t a crappy grill tho
@@undrwrldsk8fred char broils are all cheaply made crap
Just got our CB 3 burner infrared grill today!!! 🐊🇺🇸🦅
You are going to love it. No more flair up.
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina unfortunately it's been raining and now snowing so I haven't even got to the seasoning portion of the grill?
Hopefully today I'll rough it and get it done!
lol I thought I was the only one to use my power washer for this. 👍🏼
Funny thing is I actually ordered the BBQ and a pressure washer on the same bill for two very different reasons lolol. I like your style big guy haha
That is awesome!
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina ya been sitting on this BBQ for about a month making sure shes the one i want. i just finished the backyard interlock with some older stones so i figured i'd get the pressure washer to clean it up.
so i made the order last night and then jumped online to see what youtubes got and this video just made me feel like im supposed to be doing exactly what im doing lol
who the hell pierces the steaks before letting them sit for a bit???
I found you by searching the Char-Broil grill I just bought, and stayed for the tips. Now, here's a tip for you: Blue cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped mushrooms! Those are a fan favourite here in Finland!
Blue cheese should be illegal
My Tru Infrared is starting to rust out in the tray which this BBQ doesn’t have.
What are your thoughts on the size? I'm on the fence between the 2 and 3 burner version. Can you cook 6 burgers and a few hot dogs on that?
Yes you can. I have put 8 sandwich ribeyes on there at the same time and guess what, no flair ups.
there is a tool inside the door that will scrape those grates. I take an old box or garbage sack, set it inside and just give it a scrape, all good. (you can also put them upside down after you scrape and let them cook 5 mins on high to clean them up more.
Yep it's getting warmer out and I can power wash the winter grilling mess off of it soon. Thanks for watching
How is the flaver? Because I always thought over direct flame with a bit of flair ups makes it taste better?
With this design all the juices steam off and add flavor
My Infrared CharBroil didn't use the cast iron grates, you cooked directly on the Infrared panels.
I loved it at first but found the grates had to be cleaned too often.
The instructions said to just set everything on high and burn it off but that just didn't work.
After about three years the grates were completely rusted out and too expensive to replace, if bought individually the replacement grates were almost as much as a new grill.
I just put a regular grate on it and used it for a few more years.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Appreciate the tips! I just got one but forgot to season it. Did you do that when you first got the grill?
Yes I did
@@Michaelsbackyardmarinado you not season it after pressure washing it?
Same grill 3 years old. No rust . I spray wd40 once a year
Have the same one. Wonder if it could get hotter maybe it could burn itself clean.
Mine will heat up to over 650 degrees!!
This is an electric grill ?
My weber still looks new after 15 years. You pretty much convinced me to stay clear of char broil.
Sounds like a solid plan.
Absolutely correct on the Weber!! Had my Weber Spirit 310 for 13 years before I had to replace it ( the fire box and lid were still in excellent shape but the metal body finally rusted out) Purchased a new Weber Spirit 310 in June and love it. I guess he has too much pride to admit that grill is junk.🤪
A fool and his money are soon to part
@@sharpthingsinspace9721 the attraction is the infrared which is far superior to grilling on any Weber and I have three Webers
‘Murica
Ok Michael time for another 6 month clean lol good vid bro😉
funny you should mention it. I am planning on a 2 year review.
Bro, water (hot) blast your entire grill man...Dang!!!
Next time!
IT STILL LOOKS CLEAN HE SAID :o
Yep and it still cooks 2 years later. LOL
I got one now as well, its really good!
Thank you for the video. Do these rust easy? Have you had it out in the rain at all?
Mine is always under a cover, the non stainless stuff will for sure rust
How do we stop the graits from rusting?
I use PAM cooking spray on mine. It help season the cast iron and make it a bit more none stick.
I don’t understand. Mine smokes so bad it looks like my house is on fire. Everything tastes like smoke and smells like smoke. I am really unhappy. What am I doing wrong?
I have no idea, thanks for watching
Great clean with pressure washer
doesnt work on the rusted out porcelain coated grates... I think you can figure out why like I did after trying it
What's the highest temperature this grill can reach?
650-700
I haven’t even got my yet,I was wondering how to clean the lower gridd. No power washer though 😃👍
just get a wire brush after it then rinse it off
I just bought one used, says TRU Infrared but doesn’t have the stainless grates. Only has the cast iron grates. Did I get burned? (Pun intended). Also my father in law has the same grill but only the stainless grates, no cast iron. I’ve never seen them stacked before like on yours. Maybe they make different versions
Yeah, the stainless steel is what creates the infared cooking :/
Tantojutsuninpo same here. I only have the cast iron grates and they are terrible. Anyone know if I can just buy stainless grated and not use the cast iron?
It’s good you clean the emitter plates but if you want them to last long and not rust then I recommend seasoning them every time you clean them with the high pressure washer aka put high heat oil on them.
Also why don’t you have a thermometer to check meat temp? That ruins the one you cut in half to check if it’s done.
I do have a thermometer for chicken and pork. Steak it's just 4 minutes each side and they are ready to eat.
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina lol well then use the thermometer for the steak instead of cutting it to check. You didn’t let it rest for 5 min. Ruined that one piece you cut into. But definitely season your emitters after you pressure wash them so they don’t rust!
All good, please get a thermometer for that steak next time.
I tell you what
Never thought of using the power washer to clean the grates.
Can you make another video when you grill fajitas I'd like to see how that comes out
Sure thing!
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina where’s the video
My charbroil commercial infrared rotted out in 3 years. Fire box, infrared, burners, anti flare plates. All rotted. Thermometers and igniter quit after three months.
Rebuild cost would be about 50% of a new grill..
Bought a Char-Broil True Infrared today...just unpacked, now to assemble. BTW - do you have a lot of seagulls there? ;)
just at the lakes
Just be careful of chipmunks in it and I’m having problems getting replacement parts right now only after 2 years
Why is he so rusty after one year? 😩😩😩
How do you like the Infrared? I've read reviews that it changes the TASTE of food. Have you noticed that or are you happy with the grill
If you mean change the taste because the meat is juicier and more flavorful then yes.
agreed, no better way to cook chicken
I like it 👍🏿
So far all videos here show people that don't clean the grill until they cook again. Is a USA thing?
Think it's cuz it's easier if you heat it first, but when yo're done cooking the food, it's time to go eat and you don't want to leave the grill on all that time, so you turn it off. Then, next time you grill, you preheat it to burn some of the stuff and clean it then, before cooking.
A single chipmunk got inside mine made nests inside Peed all over everything it rusted through it used the side platforms as basis to make more nests because the fire box cover rusted from all the P a hole formed in the squirrel was able to crawl down inside there and leave more knots in acorns in Moss and grass and all other forms of nesting materials my grill is horrific right now and I’m trying to clean it before memorial day I don’t know if I’m going to be able to. And I’m having problems finding replacement parts for this grill on the website
You should grill more often so this type of thing don't happen again.
Whoa!
you made me hungry
I can't understand what they did to this grill, my Charbroil looks nothing like this after 7 years!
I grill a lot, I have burned through the stainless diffuser this year, thanks for watching
Is it true we need to clean the inside plates under the grates after each use?
I power wash the grates both top and bottom pieces about everyt 3-4 months and I grill at least 3 times a week
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina oh that's not bad. I thought after every use we need to clean the plates.
The Grill is pretty dirty too, so I think you have to clean it too 🙈😂
Let the meat rest after cooking. Don’t cut open right away. All the juices run out.
Right? Don’t use a fork either man come on
I have a similar grill by Car-broil and it was purchased in 2012 and still looks excellent, this guys grill looks like shit after 15 months
To be fair I use the living crap out of mine. Check out my video at the 2 year mark. ruclips.net/video/PvCBWS9j0zQ/видео.html
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina used and abused smh.. if you take care of your grill, it will take care of you
If you leave the barbecue on won't it burn off
it does but the ash doesn't fall through
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina I'm not too sure what kind of barbecue to get at the moment
A boil king Weber or one of them
Power washing the grills was good but you need to oil them to prevent rusting. I would also wash the outside of the grill itself while you have it out
they are stainless emitters, but yes, I coat mine with cooking spray ( I don't powerwash, it's overkill and messy) use the toll inside the door of the grill.
@@Musclford I take the grills and the infrared plates and stick them in the oven in a self clean. Wipe off when done and look new. The infrared look used but the grills are awesome after. I would recommend do that
I take tinfoil lay it on the grill and turn on high heat for fifteen minutes and it will burn it in a white ash and just brush it off.
Stabbing the meat and cutting it immediately made me cry
We all have our weaknesses, LOL, thanks for watching and commenting.
Dude...you eat off of that 👀
You know I do, grilling on it tonight
This grill is rusted very quickly. entry level quality that is what you get. if it lasts 2 years at the usage you do, its done its job. want something for life ? buy heavy duty proven brand.
A Y it comes with a 10 year warranty so should be no problem if something is wrong with it
I grill an average 3 times a week 365 days a year. I think it's doing just fine.
Dude, wtf... I would not be showing that! Protect that investment for god sakes!
A grill is not an investment
@@acastr1234 says who??? Sell wings and burgers on the weekends or smthin why not? You have no vision! Feel bad for you.
We bought this grill after my son, who was grilling hamburgers at the time, yelled down to the basement; "do we have a fire extinguisher?".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 KIDS GOTTA love em'😁
This Grill looks like 15 years xD
I grill a lot
This shit looks like 500yrs old. This is really dirty
No way I am eating anything that came out of that.. clean it properly the hood and sides are greasy, also looks kind of rusted on the back edge.. 304 stainless?
Funny, I eat off of it 3 times a week.....still here to talk about it.
Lots of rust for only 15 months. I have a Char Broil that's 13 years old and its not rusted like that
S Lucas could be by the beach, salts unforgiving.
Hooray! (Pelosi golf clap)
You Just Rick
Am I the only person who noticed how rusted the grates are after 15 months? I am here because my 7 year old char broil grates are rusted to hell, I'm getting stainless steel for the next one, too high maintenance for the extra cost
maybe should get some knowledge first how to season your cast iron grates.... pretty easy to do, burn everything off .... let it cool down and rob with some oil.
burn remainings off to get that patina going again. And never ever use a hard brush like stainless steel on that.
You will buy 10 of these to one Weber. Especially if you leave it unprotected.
A fool and his money are soon to part
crack me up
Glad you liked it.
After only 15 months, the grill shows a lot of rust...I don't think you'll get another 15 months.
😅
Were is your Hawaiian shirt. Damn you. You confused me. I didn't know who you were.
Them grates look very difficult to clean. One of the things that turn me away from these infrared grills.
They are not hard to clean. I just powerwash them
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina I appreciate your effort, but power washing grill grates is a sign that they are hard to clean. I’ve looked at these at Lowe’s / Home Depot and always wonder about how to clean the grates. Unlike the traditional grates where foods just fall down, with these, the foods are more likely to get stuck and it seems a hassle to clean them, compared to the traditional grates.
@@vtphan2012 you cannot have them all. Either you have flares in your meats or you clean your grates with more effort. I’ll choose the even cooking.
The grill looks pretty bad after only 15 months.
Play hard grill hard
Heck.. you can put some iodine on it and save it's life it's so rare ;-)
Don't you know it. Thanks for watching
Boy...you just convinced me NOT to buy a Charbroil...what a frigging mess. Looks like those infrared grates aren’t going to last long!
Yeah they 2 years old and still working. If you like flare ups by something else. If you like perfectly cooked Ribeye's without flames burning your meat then get one of these.
I will never buy any grill if its not (WEBER) had it for 8 years never changed nothing in it and it’s been outside at all time
Sounds like a solid plan, thanks for watching
Only 15 months. That didn’t last lonh
I will never buy any grill if its (WEBER) had it for 8 years never changed nothing in it and it’s been outside at all time
Also a solid plan, thanks again
You need a new grill😮😮
Nope, still going strong today.
Take your bbq,throw it and buy another one...save your time
Oh no, many more steaks to grill on this bad boy, thanks for watching
Hate the wide gaps on those factory grids; lousy for grilling hamburgers. Buy two pieces of diamond mesh lath at a welding shop and lay ‘em over the factory grids to keep hamburger pieces and other small things from falling through. They also leave excellent grill marks. Have done that for the past 45 years.
Love the video but I think it’s time to replace the grates.
funny you should mention that. I found grates on sale for $13 each at Lowes for the stainless and cast iron. So now it has new ones. I'm going to clean up the old ones and swap out when needed.
Well, if the grill looks like that after 15 months it should be trash in about 3 years. Get a Weber!!!!!
Three years later and I still use it 2-4 times a week
dude clean it after each use mine never looked that bad, lol
I grill 3 to 4 times a week even in the middle of winter. It gets a little messy. I power wash it clean now and again
I almost puked 🤢. Jeez there are cobwebs hanging from the warming rack . Pressure washing those greasy grates on your patio floor. I can’t imagine what the inside of your house would look like 🐷🐽🐷
Thank you for watching. Check out my video review of it after 2 years
Lots is wrong here.
only if you don't grill 4 times a week for almost two years now.
That’s a nasty looking grill. Why wouldn’t you take 20 seconds and wipe off the side shelf’s each time.
Because. LOL. I just use the grill part
These inferred grills are junk! After using it for a couple of weeks it will start to burn out only to backfire when restarting! It's a known issue that Char broil doesn't want you to know!
I’ve had mine for two years and still works perfect
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina your grates are definitely different then mine with more holes, I wouldnt even be venting on here but the damn thing blew up on my wife last night and then started on fire!
This is horrible. The grill looked nastier after he cleaned it.
Thanks for watching
I would never eat anything you cook…that grill is filthy… this has to be a joke
Thanks for watching. Not a joke.
