CHAR-BROIL CRUISE GAS GRILL: A SNEAK PEEK REVIEW

By:

Max Good

Char-Broil bills their forthcoming thermostatically controlled Cruise Gas Grill
as, "the next generation of gas grilling." If it does what they claim then
Cruise will be the first viable thermostatically controlled gas grill for
residential use that we've seen. Our hopes have been shattered before. We're
rooting for Char-Broil on this one, but the proof will be in its ability to
actually perform as advertised. We're eager to get our hands on the first
production models scheduled to roll out in spring 2022.

THE GOOD-ONE IS A SUPERB GRILL AND A SUPERB SMOKER ALL IN ONE


The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset
smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off
to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something
almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

IS THIS SUPERB CHARCOAL GRILL A KAMADO KILLER?


The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast
aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it’s
easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado
grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set
up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

THE COOL KETTLE WITH THE HINGED HOOD WE ALWAYS WANTED


Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar
kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a
rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds
its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable
alternative.
