Users say this grill cooks food quickly and evenly and outperforms more expensive models.
The Char-Griller Grillin' Pro 4001 recently replaced the discontinued 3001 model, so user and expert comments about this new low-cost gas grill are hard to come by. However, the Grillin' Pro 4001 seems to be following in the footsteps of the 3001 version. That cheap grill garnered expert praise in a Char-Griller Grillin' Pro 3001 review on About.com one user reports that the new 4001 model performs better than more expensive grills he's had, and states that it heats evenly and reduces cooking time.
The Char-Griller Grillin' Pro 4001 has the same standout features as the 3001, including porcelain-coated cast-iron grates. The Grillin' Pro 4001 boasts a 580-square-inch cooking surface and cooking power of 54,400 BTUs, which helps it heat up quickly and maintain a high temperature. The Char-Griller 4001 also features four main burners with individual temperature controls and dual stacks for even heating. Extra frills include a side burner perfect for warming up sauces, a warming rack, and utensil hooks.
While many users and experts have yet to weigh in, the Char-Griller Grillin' Pro 4001 looks to be as solid a choice for a cheap BBQ grill as was the Grillin' Pro 3001. This is a budget-friendly grill that should serve you well.
