Weber E-330 vs. Char-Broil TRU Infrared

Never buy a char broil unless you want to buy another in 3 years

My feeling is that we aren't comparing apples to apples here. If you need the infrared, then let's compare equals. If you just need a gas grill and don't mind the cost for better quality well, you have your decision. If you place some value on the infrared, then you'll be buying a grill that probably doesn't do either well nor for very long. Bottom line, Weber is a better gas grill with no frills and Char-Broil has fluff but no longevity. Decide what's best for you, no shame in either...

I just got the CB TRU Infrared 3n1 Roaster, Smoker, grill for $102 from target on sale. Too good to pass up. Only cooked one chicken so far but it came out awesome. Longevity issues are a concern, but I also bought the $15 custom cover and don't expect to get more than 3 to 5 years out of it.



ETA: the CB I have is very well made from all appearances. Super sturdy, feels solid and retains heat well. You can usually find the setup I got for $150 online, I just happened to catch target on a 40% sale and scored it for $102. I'm sure if you keep it covered and out of the elements that it'll last just fine. If you leave it out in the rain and weather, then I agree I wouldn't expect it to last that long.
