The Charmglow 5 burner stainless steel grill gets mixed reviews from consumers. It looks to be a fancy grill, but the price should really give it away. I'm not going to lose sleep over a lower end purchase like some, though. If you're not willing to spend the extra money for a higher end brand, then there really is nothing to complain about.

On the other hand, you expect even some of the less expensive brands to hold up for at least a few years. In this case, some consumers have noted that the stainless steel burners have begun to rust after only a few uses. This isn't good. But, the burners have a 5 year warranty and all other stainless steel parts have a 3 year warranty. So, this is a nuisance at best for those that have had these problems.

So what do you get that makes it a valuable buy? First, it has 926 square inches of total cooking surface and an output of 60,000 BTUs plus a 12,000 BTU side burner. You also get a 261 square inch warming rack that probably can't be used when you're using the included rotisserie kit.

Storage is enhanced with a side table drawer and pull out trash can cabinet.

This unit can be converted to natural gas, but requires a conversion kit which is sold separately.
