The Char-Broil Urban Gas Grill gives you the great features of a larger grill in a more compact unit.

It offers convenient one door storage and side shelves. The temperature gauges are set above the control knobs. It uses electronic ignition, which uses an AA battery. It comes with 4 casters and 2 lock. It includes a grill cover and can obtain temperatures around 700 degrees Fahrenheit owing to the efficient infrared system.

Char-Broil Quantum System Infrared grills are something you may not know much about, so here's a brief summary. Char-Broil Quantum uses a combination of infrared and open flame (convective) heat to cook your food. Infrared is the type of heat the radiates off the solid surfaces while the convective heat rises through the small perforations of the infrared emitter. Char-Broil uses all stainless steel, as opposed to ceramics, which is far more durable.

The system stretches across the entire cooking syrface, so small pieces of food don't fall into the flames and cause flare-ups.

The Char-Broil Urban Gas Grill 463246909 is a good size grill for the patio, balcony or small porch. It costs close to $300.00. It is not a complex grill and has 2 burners. The burners are tubular and are sitting under the infrared diffusers.

Char-Broil Urban Gas Grill Features

"There are two primary problems with this grill. First, this model, like all Commercial Series Char-Broil grills is made from low grade (400 series) stainless steel. This limits the durability of the grill and will cause it to discolor and rust early. You can't count on this grill lasting."

Summary

This grill is great for people with small balconies. But at the low price point, you're also getting a lower quality construction. With consistence maintenance, you should be able to keep the Infrared system working, though. Regular gentle cleaning is required to keep the perforations from getting clogged.
