Best for
Cooks wanting gas, griddle, and charcoal versatility

The Charbroil Pro Series with Amplifire Infrared 4-burner propane grill 463281024 is the most versatile full-sized cooker in the brand’s lineup. This 3-in-1 hybrid design eliminates the need for multiple patio appliances by letting you grill over gas, sear on the included griddle insert, or cook over charcoal using dedicated trays. You can ignite charcoal briquettes directly with the gas burners without a chimney, and ash cleanup involves simply lifting out the cooled trays. Compared to standard models in our char broil propane grill overview, this configuration adds an integrated side burner alongside four main burners.

The exclusive Amplifire cooking system radiates heat through heavy porcelain-coated cast iron grates to eliminate flare-ups and produce up to 50 percent juicier foods. Across 802.9 square inches of cooking space, precise dials deliver steady heat from high sears to gentle griddling. The heavy cabinet measures 23.7 inches deep by 61.4 inches wide and 47.7 inches high, weighing 178.2 pounds. A double-door enclosed cabinet secures your propane tank and tools, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

This hybrid grill best suits outdoor entertainers who want complete menu versatility across gas, charcoal, and griddle formats. If your deck cannot accommodate a 61-inch station, or if you prefer to avoid charcoal ash, the dedicated gas-and-griddle models provide a streamlined fit.

• Hybrid 3-in-1 platform includes griddle insert and charcoal lighting trays
• Generous 802.9-square-inch cooking surface with four main burners and one side burner
• Amplifire infrared system eliminates flare-ups and locks in juices

Current owners restoring existing infrared grill grates

Each section measures 17 inches deep by 6 inches wide and 1.3 inches high. It is compatible with 2015 and newer Char-Broil Commercial, Signature, or Professional Series TRU-Infrared gas grills. You can identify your model year by the last two digits of the model number on the back of the grill or inside the product guide.

Purchase three sections for a 2-burner grill, four sections for a 3-burner grill, or five sections for a 4-burner grill.
