Product Description

The Char Broil T480 brings together affordability, spacious cooking area, and 4 burner control, for a well rounded cooking experience. Starting with the 4 stainless steel burners, the T480 rates at 48,000 BTUs for the primary cooking area and is complimented by a 10,000 BTU flush mounted sideburner, both started with an easy to use electronic ignitiion system. The large cooking area with 480 square inches of primary space and 205 square inches of secondary space, is more than ample for entertaining guests with your best recipes. The cooking surface is composed of porcelain stamped steel grates. The warming rack also has a porcelain coating for greater longevity and is often best used for lightly toasting buns/bread, or simply keeping food off of the main area so that items requiring different cooking times and temperatures may all be served hot at the same time. The outside of the grill features a black front control panel and fascias, stainless steel insert lid with temp. gauge, and full front panel, resulting in a clean full scale overall look. As with all grills, we recommend keeping the firebox clean to help avoid flare up as well as using a grill cover to protect your invesent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst I have ever owned, January 2, 2011

This review is from: Char Broil T480 4-Burner 48,000 BTU Gas Grill, with Sideburner (Lawn & Patio)

I am surprised at the reviews I read hear, to a degree. I was very happy, initially, with this item. It did very well for about the first 5-6 months of ownership.

I also purchased the grill cover and have kept this great mostly out of the weather, in the same conditions as any I have owned previously.

I was initially concerned about the light weight metal construction having alway owned "cast" metal gas grilles in the past. I should have followed my instincts. This thing, in less than a year, has turned into a pile of rust, everywhere. Exterior rust where the paint has failed, interior rust so bad the burners are already needing replacement, and the grill plates themself make me wonder if its safe to each anything on the surface, despite regular brushing and care.

This p.o.s. will be curbside on tuesday, waiting for Waste Management to take it away.

This review is from: Char Broil T480 4-Burner 48,000 BTU Gas Grill, with Sideburner (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this thing from Lowes, paid $149+ tax (on sale) and i can't stop using it, the actual metal grill on it is alittle odd, it's about 3/8in shorter than the area it fits in so when you try to scrub & scrap the grills they bang back & forth. i love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Gas Grill, August 22, 2010

This review is from: Char Broil T480 4-Burner 48,000 BTU Gas Grill, with Sideburner (Lawn & Patio)

This is Char Broil's entry level model of gas grills. I've seen reviews for this grill that went from Garbage to Great. I've used it for about a month and I think it's very good for the price.

It has four burners so you can adjust your heat (using one, two, three or four burners) easily. I found that using just the two center burners on low works best for me. I also like that fact what the grills are close together so meat can't fall down into the fire box. I read one review that said they had that problem with it, but I tried to put a frozen patty between the grills and it's just not happenin'. They must have had really thin meat! The electronic igniter is also a good feature. But I'm sure like all gas grills, this will go out first.

The burners as well as the fire box are stainless steel so they will last longer that other metals. You should still cover it up during the winter months.
