Easy to ignite, easy to clean, easy to move
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this grill 4 years ago. Best grill yet that I have owned. If I have to replace it, it would be another duo 5050. It’s easy to replace parts also. The combination of gas, charcoal and smoker is great

Best grill on the market
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned 2 of these because they are that good. You take care of them, they will take care of you and make you look like a professional. Super durable. As a military dude, I’ve taken mine to another country across The Atlantic and it not only survived the transit but it was ready to go on day one once it made it to my house. The versatility of both gas and charcoal means you can smoke it for a bit and finish it with a sear! Definitely a must ...

New Heights of Grilling
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ability to use both the gas and the charcoal at the same time makes my meal execution seamless. With all the grill parts and accessories for sale on the website, I’ve been able to overhaul the grill and it’s running very well

Great versatile grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned TWO Duo 5050 grills. I used the first one so much I wore it out! I love the versatility of being able to use gas for a quick cook, but also being able to use charcoal for a longer cook, all in the same grill.

Char grill rocks

From Char-Griller
Versatility
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my dual fuel for 5 years, it’s awesome, I have the versatility of two grilling options in one! It offers the ability to cook fast on the gas side while still getting the charcoal flavor on the charcoal side. And the gas grill top is an excellent charcoal starter.
From Char-Griller
it might last a year
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, first off, no matter what you do, the add on wood box and smoker side leak air to no ends, and the paint is not going to last thru the seasoning as directed. If you take very good care of it, it may last 3 years.
From Char-Griller
Great flexibility to grill different meals
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the flexibility because I like cooking with charcoal and the quick and easy cooking with propane grill and side burner

Best Gift I Ever Purchased!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought The Duo 5050 as a gift for my son. I seldom cook anymore because he cooks anything you can imagine on this grill. When a hurricane knocked out our electric for over two weeks this grill was a Godsend, he even made coffee in the morning on it using an old percolator coffee pot.

Great Value - Great Performance
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second 5050 grill, to which I added the Texas side smoker. Very happy with the unit, I've had this second unit for about 10 years and it's been great! A tremendous value for size and cost!
