By Char-Broil

9.1Excellent matchFeature and use-case score

The most affordable grill on this list by a wide margin, with a genuinely large cooking area and a side burner included — the trade-off is thinner steel and porcelain-coated (not cast) grates.

  • 4 stainless steel burners with Char-Broil's FlavorMax heat-distribution system
  • 435 sq
  • 11,000-BTU side burner and a Gear Trax-enabled accessory side shelf

Product overview

Char-Broil Performance Series 4-Burner: What to Know

Char-Broil sells its Performance Series 4-Burner under several nearly identical names — with a side burner or without, in cart or cabinet form, in different colors — each as a separate Amazon ASIN. The specific current listing we're pointing to (ASIN B0GQLYR8FB) is the Gray Stainless cart version with an integrated side burner, model 463349325, which Char-Broil's own site lists under its 'Performance Series FlavorMax' branding. If you search this grill and land on a black or cabinet-style listing instead, you're looking at a sibling configuration, not this exact one — worth double-checking before you buy, since the price and included side burner can differ between them.

Per Char-Broil's own product page for model 463349325 and the matching Amazon listing bullets, this grill offers 435 square inches of primary cooking space plus a 130-square-inch swing-away warming rack (565 square inches total), and a separate 11,000-BTU side burner for sauces or sides. The 'FlavorMax' system is Char-Broil's current burner and heat-distribution design, replacing the older 'TRU-Infrared' branding used on some previous Performance Series models — if you see a listing described as TRU-Infrared, that's an older-generation product, not this one.

Where this grill is genuinely cheaper than the Weber, Napoleon, and Broil King above: porcelain-coated steel cooking grates instead of cast iron or cast stainless, and generally thinner-gauge steel in the cart and firebox. That's a real trade-off in heat retention and long-term durability, not just a cosmetic difference, and it's the honest reason this sits at 'best value' rather than higher on the list. The included Gear Trax side shelf and two locking caster wheels are useful, practical touches for a grill at this price.

Buying questions

Quick Answers

Is this the TRU-Infrared version or the FlavorMax version?

This is the current FlavorMax-branded Performance Series. TRU-Infrared was Char-Broil's burner/grate technology on earlier Performance Series generations; if you're comparing an older listing or a used grill described as TRU-Infrared, it's a different, discontinued-generation product, not this one.

Does this specific listing include the side burner?

Yes — this is the 'with Side Burner' configuration (model 463349325). Char-Broil also sells a 4-burner Performance Series without a side burner under a different model number and ASIN at a slightly lower price, so check the listing title carefully if the side burner isn't something you need.
