This is not a grill for the faint of heart, which is a positive thing. This is a very large grilling setup that comes in a very large, heavy (~200 pounds) box. How they fit so many parts in the box is an engineering marvel in itself.
It took me roughly 2.5 hours to assemble it, from opening the box until finished. The assembly instructions were very well written, the most informative ones I've seen for a grill actually. Nothing difficult at all about the assembly but make sure you have a LOT of space to spread the parts out prior to assembly - it pretty much took up the entire floor of our single car garage. We wheeled it into the kitchen and out the patio door and it "barely" fit through a standard door opening so keep that in mind if you have smaller doors and might need to wheel it through one.
There's just two of us and so far we've just used the gas side for burgers and steaks. The middle burner is all we have needed. With just that burner on high it will keep the temperature at 350 degrees, and it heats up to that temperature in just a few minutes. I did a test and set all three burners on high and within a couple of minutes the temperature was over 600 degrees, so keep that in mind as well to not bubble all the paint on top ! The thermometer goes up to 750, if I remember correctly - I know it's over 700.
The grill has fired-up instantly on the first push every time with absolutely no problems encountered so far. If there is one "weak link" I would have to say it might be the way the wheels/axle are setup. We haven't had a problem out of them but I don't think they're designed for too much moving around, especially over rough surfaces. The wheels are high quality steel and rubber (not plastic) but it's just the way they are attached to the axle that could present a problem at some point. Then again, maybe not.
I also ordered a cover after the fact and it fits like a glove. It is also high quality nylon with a soft inner liner, not at all like the cheap plastic ones.
We're looking forward to many enjoyable years from this grill !

My husband bought this for me and at first I loved it. I use this 325 out of 365 days a year. I don't cook inside other than the sides. In the first month the wheels broke they can't handle the weight. Then after two years the gas no longer worked. This is year three and it's ready to fall apart. We spent over $400.00+ adding the smoke box and cover. I would have expected this to last more than three years:(

THis is a solid grill fro those who like the convenience of gas when you want to grill a small fast meal, but cant give up the purist notion of charcoal. Solid grill.! thing...a 'list' price of [$] and a ' sale price' of [$]...is an absolute joke. THis grill retails for [$] most places, less than that elsewhere. [...]. Buy this grill [...]

Comments about Char-Griller Duo Gas/Charcoal Grill:
If you assemble this unit your self you will see how thin the material is and wont last.
This will be a disposable grill.
Is way to cheap of a grill for the price.
The unit looks good and is a good concept.

Comments about Char-Griller Duo Gas/Charcoal Grill:
Nice overall grill. I have had it for a short period of time but the thing you have to know is it needs frequent cleaning and oiling to prevent it from rusting. Because it's not stainless steel, It rusts quickly. I use a combination of vegetable oil and mineral oil at least half a dozen time during the summer and it seems to do the trick.
