Char-Broil Patio Bistro Electric Grill Review

We have had the grill since the spring of 2000 (almost 8 years). This grill is used 4-5 times a week -- 52 weeks a year. That's over 1,500 uses for one grill and it should make it to 2,000. Because it is electric it sits on our screened back porch -- out of the elements. We have had to replace the controls one time and now are relacing the elements. We are looking for another one to have when this one finally plays out. All we do is pre-heat for 15 min. and then cook meat (steak, pork, chicken, vegatables) on the highest heat (not what the book says) with the cover closed. We know the exact time it takes to cook every item by now, so we just set a timer to tell us when to turn the food and/or when it's done. Couldn't be easier. The meats are always juicy and flavorful. You never have the "gas" taste that you sometimes get with charcoal or gas grills. The juice hitting the brickets and turning into steam gives the food the grilled flavor -- just as with gas and charcoal grills.

One note -- you need to clean the grill frequently, as you would any grill. We use a large pan to catch the drippings that never seem to drip into the can. We put newspapers in a pan and then throw the papers away without having to scrub the pan.
