America’s #1 gas grill brand Char-Broil® is launching exciting new BBQ models to its UK range for 2018, all of which combine cutting-edge innovation, top performance and fantastic design. Innovations include the new Kamander Kamado-style grill – the most versatile charcoal product for smoking, baking and grilling; a new Platinum Line BBQ Series, with 304-type premium stainless-steel construction and cooking grates; a new Convective Line in a modern and robust design with cast-iron grates for perfect sear marks; and a traditional charcoal Bullet Smoker.

Innovation at the heart of everything

Char-Broil brought one of the first charcoal grills to market in 1948. In the years since, it has been delivering innovation continuously - with every new product across its range. TRU-Infrared is one of the most well-known of Char-Broil’s unique technologies, because it has helped revolutionise BBQ cooking by giving up to 50% juicier results, and a perfectly even distribution of heat without any flare-ups. As the brand looks ahead, its aim is to continue to improve outdoor cooking for everyone, everywhere. The new line-up for 2018 reflects this commitment:

Control without compromises: The Char-Broil® Kamander kamado grill - RRP £699.99

Barbecue in style with Char-Broil's Kamander Charcoal Grill. No matter how you want to cook, this versatile barbecue can grill, roast and slow cook your food to perfection. Packed full of useful features, including a temperature gauge for when the barbecue lid is closed, easy to access dampers and ash gathering tray. Want to keep your cooked food warm? No problem, just use the included warming rack.

The Kamander’s innovative air intake channel feeds air from the top-mounted vents to the intake holes inside the chamber, allowing you to easily monitor and control the temperature. The Char-Broil Kamander kamado Charcoal Grill is capable of hitting the kinds of high temperatures necessary for searing steaks while still being able to hold low and slow temperatures for long periods of time necessary for smoking briskets. It is efficient in its consumption of fuel and the two vents allow for easy temperature adjustment. The 20-inch diameter cooking surface (327 square inches of primary cooking space) is large enough to hold a 20-pound turkey or a large brisket. This gives you the space to grill or smoke plenty of food.

On the side of the grill you can find a handy shelf to give you more space whilst cooking, while underneath you'll find a storage rack for all of your utensils. Once the party is over you can easily wheel the barbecue away on its large castors to store for another day. Available from February 2018, from garden centres and BBQ specialists nationwide at RRP £699.99.
