We own three of them. The first was purchased five or more years ago when we got tired of replacing other sheet-metal type grills every couple of years. A couple years ago, I did replace the gas jets and and the metal deflectors that go over them, but that's one advantage to the Char-Griller line, replacement parts tend to be available on Amazon or from the company itself.
This older grill sits in the open on an uncovered deck, and we're bad about forgetting to put the cover back on. Considering its age and the elements, there's very little rust on it, certainly none that would present an issue or threatens to cause structural failure.
We had such good luck with this grill, we purchased two more when we bought a couple of vacation rental cabins earlier this year. We're not afraid of nicks or dings because this grill is made of thicker metal than comparably priced competitors. One thing that could be improved is access to turning the gas tank on and off. The grill's upper support bracket on the wheel side is in a place that makes it awkward to reach the tank valve to turn it on and off. It can be done but, as I said, it's awkward. Guests at our cabins have complimented the grill provided.
Char-Griller grills are made in China.
Last weekend, we found a similar sized grill by Char-Broil on seasonal close-out at a big box discounter. Seeing the Char-Grillers have crept up a bit in price this year, we opted for the Char-Broil. I say this only to do some side by side comparisons. The Char-Broil seems to be a much lighter grade of steel, it heats up slower than our Char-Grillers, and it doesn't reach as high of temperatures, and doesn't seem to retain heat as well. If you preference is to grill in lower temperature ranges, the Char-Broil may give you more control in the 250 to 400 degree range. Because of the lighter grade of steel, we were cautioned by the purchase store's department manager not to carry the Char-Broil by its side wings. The Char-Broil came with caster type wheels, those on a Char-Griller are bigger plastic wheels on one side and make it easier to move the grill across a lawn. We're not so concerned about the Char-Broil grill being exposed to the weather, unlike the Char-Grillers, it will be kept in a sheltered area.
When not in use, we do (mostly) use the custom covers to protect our Char-Grillers outdoors. The newer covers seem lighter and more like vinyl. Our original cover, at least five years old, is faded, but has more of a canvas feel, and shows no signs of rips or tears, though it has faded from black to gray.
The Char-Griller 3001 is somewhat easy to put together (it gets easier each time I assemble one), but it can seem a slow and tedious task. If I recall, I only needed a screw driver, but a socket wrench might be helpful. Working at a leisurely pace, I may have spent two to three hours putting my last one together.
Overall, we've had very pleasing experiences with Char-Grillers (all ours have been the 3001 model), and expect those we have to give us years of service. Even our older one may have several more years of life left.
EXPECTATIONS V.S. REALITY: I was looking for something with the highest heat potential/BTU at a low [if not lowest] price point. The heat output is definately as advertised! There are very distinct hot spots and cool spots, but that is something I expected/most people can take advantage of.
This grill is more than capable of putting a hard char on Ribeye steaks and leaving a nice Mid Rare center. If you can do basic maintenance on a gas grill [definately line the interior with foil, detail clean regularly and use foodsafe oil on the grates/flavor bars], I am very confident it will last a long time. I did buy a cover and kept mine in a shed over a Pennsylvania winter. The side burner gets wicked hot and can compare to a stovetop in terms of output and eveness. Lastly, The push button start has not failed me once this past year.
THE ASSEMBLY: While I've put together a lot of prefab furniture, this is the only grill I've done. The instructions are adequate and well illustrated, but budget a full day for assembly. I was brushing the top rack a little hard the other week and part of it fell apart... Right away I saw I had screwed up the sequence of a nut and kotter pin. Luckily I collected all the parts and could quickly correct the error. It's a beast to put together, but I can't imagine any other brand being much easier.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Of all the Amazon buys I've made the past 2 or 3 years, I'd stand by this beyond all else. I'm very proud of this purchase; this was a steal. If you know basic stuff about gas grills [or can watch some youtube videos] I'm confident this grill is the best bang for your buck.
If Char-Griller staff sees this, don't chase the fancy Traegar world. You've got a killer entry level model to build a great rep on. Keep bringing more of the same and I will be a loyal customer!
My old gasser was a four burner and had the heat output of someone lighting a match several yards away from you, and the heat was distributed like paint on a Pollock masterpiece. I hear it actually made the food colder out toward the edges, but this is only legend. Anyway, I needed to drastically improve both of these deficiencies in my gasser, and for the price, the Grillin' Pro 3001 goes an excellent job. Heat distribution is very good, excellent for the $200 range. No major cold spots, the center is the hottest, natch, and the bottom edges tend to be the coolest.
As far as temperature goes, this thing gets about as hot as a plutonium reactor. On high, this thing can get to 850° for sure and can even reach 900°! This thing cranks out some high heat, so if you want to do some serious searing, this is the right grill for you. Even the lowest burner settings still get pretty hot, it takes some getting used to, but you can and will make some great grilled grub once you get the hang of it. From steaks to salmon, it cooks some mean meat. I had one Lodge griddle, then purchased another to throw on top to make it into a jury-rigged griddle top, it works great!
This is a good grill. I can't speak to it's longevity as I've only had it for a few months, but it's a solid grill that makes great food. This is not a boast every gas grill can make.

Sehr schwer und stabil. Super verarbeitet.
Tempistica diversa per il telo di copertura....un mese di tempo, almeno quando l'ho ordinato io, aprile 2019.
Consegnato nella scatola originale, quindi ben visibile cosa hai acquistato, scatola di per sè non enorme considerando il contenuto ma molto, molto pesante....... da solo fai veramente poca strada!
tutti i pezzi sono pefettamente incastrati e protetti da urti, la ferramenta in un enorme blister.... attenzione che non vi sfuggano delle viti quando lo forzate per aprirlo.
Istruzioni solo in inglese con figure tipo Ikea.....altri recensori scrivono che il montaggio è facile ma io devo essere particolarmente imbranato......tutto da solo ho impiegato 3 ore senza fermarmi un attimo ed ho sudato parecchio, alle volte giocandomi il Paradiso con qualche ....... di troppo!
Morale, tutto montato, unico neo una piccola vite zincata che tiene fermo uno dei tre bruciatori si è spezzata appena ho iniziato ad avvitarla, mentre per gli altri due bruciatori nessun problema.
Trapanato il moncone di vite e sostituita ed è passata la paura!
Devi veramente assemblare tutto, anche i cavi che portano l'accensione ai bruciatori, niente di difficile ma del tempo prima di accenderlo ne passa eccome....ma come detto prima sono l'unico a sostenerlo e quindi prendo atto della mia goffaggine da bricolage.
In dotazione anche una batteria AA da 1,5 volts per l'accensione dei tre bruciatori, mentre per il fornello ausiliario l'accensione è la classica piezoelettrica.
Non provate neanche ad adattare il riduttore del gas USA alle nostre bombole, mettetevi il cuore in pace, occorre cambiarlo, poca spesa in qualsiasi ferramenta o quasi.
Per sicurezza ho cambiato anche il tubo del gas, quello originale è un pò troppo grande per l'attacco del riduttore Italiano, almeno a mio personale parere.
Veniamo all'oggetto: Decisamente pesante, hanno abbondato in materiale, a prima vista direi che dovrebbe durare un bel pò. I due comignoli sono particolari, mai visti in altri bbq, vedremo al momento dell'utilizzo.
la bombola di gas da 10 litri non ci sta sul ripiano se non orizzontalmente per spostare tutto il bbq.
Il bbq si sposta agevolmente, nonostante le due ruote siano in plastica dura, unico elemento, a mio personale giudizio, sottotono rispetto al bbq.
La fiamma del i bruciatori appare generosa quindi spero possa raggiungere la temperatura necessaria.... in tanti bbq ho trovato questa parte molto deludente con tempi di cottura esagerati e in maniera non perfetta per una cottura superficiale da bbq doc.
qui sotto aggiornerò la recensione con la cottura.....prevista tra pochi giorni....slurp, non vedo l'ora! E' questo il motivo di quattro stelle, la quinta a seconda delle prestazioni da vero bbq....ma le premesse direi che sono ottime.
02/05/2019 Cottura: ecco quindi la quinta stella! Cottura veloce, i paraschizzi a protezione dei bruciatori svolgono egregiamente il loro compito limitando le fiammate per quanto possibile.
Chiudendo il coperchio si raggiungono in pochissimi minuti (2/3) i 200-220 gradi ed il fumo fuoriesce dai comignoli ma il tempo di cottura mi è senbrato veramente ridotto rispetto al bbq che usavo prima pur essendo similare ma più grande, con un bruciatore in più.
in sostanza cotti perfettamente 6 spiedini e 4 salsiccione in una mezzoretta scarsa con tutti e tre i bruciatori al massimo e chiudendo il coperchio 3 o 4 volte per alcuni minuti......ottimi anche se probabilmente dipende più dalla carne ma la cottura è stata omogenea e forte, con quelle bruciature alpunto giusto.
Il pane per la bruschetta in pochissimi minuti già pronto per l'uso.
Mi è sembrato che la griglia raggiungesse la temperatura più elevata al centro ma forse è anche logico così.
Pulizia: le tre griglie, smaltate, sono molto agevoli da pulire, essendo limitate come misura e quindi anche come peso.
Conclusioni: a mio personale giudizio un buon rapporto qualità prezzo, un vero bbq che raggiunge temperature importanti in poco tempo.
Soddisfattissimo dell'acquisto.
BBQ itself is sturdy but I did have a problem with one of the legs fitting together as the attachment threaded due to the thin metal on the legs- as a result I had to find another bolt and nut to improvise.
Happy with the end result though- just need to fire her up now!

Allo stesso tempo bistecche e costate vengo molto bene (con grill marks perfetti) e restano molto succose! Avendo una griglia un po' sottile ero preoccupato che asciugasse molto, invece non è così. OVVIAMENTE bisogna aspettare un po' per giudicare la resistenza dei materiali (che dipenderà da molto fattori). Al momento soddisfatto!
