Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Duo, use it so much I have replaced burners twice, flavor shield 3 or 4 times(lost count), grates twice…..used the daylights out of the propane side….would usually do the meat on wood/charcoal side, veggies and pizza on the propane. Amazing how many steaks I could on both sides at once! Great product!

Best bang for the buck
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still one of the best grills on the market. It doesn’t last for 10 years like some of the more expensive ones but for the price it is any amazing grill.

5050 w/offset firebox
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this grill/charcoaler/smoker for many years with dozens of satisfying meals. For the money it has performed exceptionally well. It covers all the bases, gas grill for week day after work when time is short. Smoker for holiday meals and when we’re craving a good ol’ smoked delicacy. Charcoal for when time is available to cook a delicious steak, burger oe chicken dinner. The gas side takes care of vegies and desserts. Can’t go wrong wit...

It is a fine piece of cooking grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this grill for 10 years. I use it 2 or 3 times a week. I added the side smoker box and have smoked butts, brisket, chicken, pork belly and Meat loaf among others. Recently had to order maintenance parts, never had a problem getting or installing them

Awesome Grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this grill. This is the second one I have bought. Perfect size with the convenience of having gas and charcoal as an option.

Duo 50/50 is a great setup
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned 2 of these and they are great for larger gatherings along with flexibility for everyday cooking. The side burner is great for “jetting” a charcoal chimney to quickly get the charcoal side up and running.
From Char-Griller
Absolutely love this combo grill!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few years ago and added the smoke box! With some minor modifications I turned the charcoal side into a fantastic stick burner! The gas side worked great and I had no complaints! Broke my heart when we moved last month and I had to leave it behind!
From Char-Griller
Well made!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit about seven years ago along with the optional smoker firebox. It has served us well and replacement parts are readily available when needed!

Great features
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this for my husband as a father's day gift and he loves it. Especially the options to use propane or charcoal.

Best grill ever
I got mine for Father’s Day 2009. I’ve finally worn it out. I’m wanting to find another one asap.
From Char-Griller
One year in and it nearly killed us.
Would Not RecommendHere is what's left of our grill after the electronic ignition panel caught fire, spreading to the rubber/plastic wire casings, and ultimately through the electrical and gas lines. Thankfully the tank shut off or ran out before an explosion could occur. Grill was cleaned regularly and covered on a deck.
This the grill for me.
Would RecommendI had this grill for 5 years. I absolutely love my grill. This grill has everything one needs to prepare food in any situation. I’ve used it when the power goes out, for birthdays and holidays. It’s never failed me. Over the years I’ve had to replace somethings but the parts were easy to get on this website. It’s time to get another one and I’m going to get the same model. I’ve added the side box for wood smoking and a cast iron griddle top but they enhances the grills performance. There are a c...

Amazing must buy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing must buy I’ve had mine for three years and do not have one complaint

10 Years
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Duo 5050 with an offset for 10 years and will not grill any other way. It is a reliable setup, and I have had to do very little maintenance. And when I do have to work on it, the parts are easily ordered, and I have the grill back up and running extremely quickly. I recommend this setup to anyone interested in setting up a new pit and smoking/grilling like a pro.

DUO
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own two of these gas and charcoal grills. When we host gatherings, I will use both of them. I will smoke ribs on one side using the side smoker add on. I have a cast iron plate that I use on the gas side as a griddle. while the other grill is used for charcoal grilling and gas grilling.
From Char-Griller
This grill has it all!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had two of these duo grills. The most recent was purchased a year ago. I love the convenience of having a gas option when time is a factor, but you don't sacrifice taste with it. Most times I use the charcoal side. The best steaks I have ever grilled have been on this grill. Get a great hot fire and then I add a small price of hickory or cherry wood to the coals and put the lid down to give a smoked flavor to the perfectly grilled st...

Versatile, elevated the experience,,,
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the versatility. I added the side box so I can smoke meat as well.
From Char-Griller
New to Grilling
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and kids bought me a Duo for Father's Day, after months maybe a year of me doing research of what would fit my family (wife and 4 kids) best. The duo option is great for smoking ribs on charcoal side while grilling shrimp and veggies on the propane side. I added the offset smoker and bought the cover which fit beofre the smoker and after. Best Father's Day gift.

Lasted longer than I can remember!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill when dinosaurs roamed the earth! Actually longer than zi can remember I have always had this same grill from Char Griller. I used to babysit the owner and CEO of Char Griller and distinctly recall having a conversation with him about my dream of owning a dual fuel grill that would last almost forever if you took good care of it! Well, he grew up and made me proud !
From Char-Griller
Great grills
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the trio for years then moved to a pellet but nothing beats the classic flavor and searing of a charcoal grill.
