Best Gas Charcoal Combo Grills: Top Picks and Buying Guide

When it comes to outdoor cooking, having the right grill can make all the difference. Gas grills are known for their convenience and speed, while charcoal grills are loved for their smoky flavor and versatility. But what if you could have the best of both worlds in a single grill? That's where gas charcoal combo grills come in. Gas charcoal combo grills are becoming increasingly popular among outdoor cooking enthusiasts, thanks to their ability to offer the convenience of gas grilling and the smoky flavor of charcoal grilling in a single appliance. With a gas charcoal combo grill, you can quickly fire up your grill with gas for a speedy cook or take your time and enjoy the smoky flavor of charcoal for a more traditional BBQ experience. To help you find the best gas charcoal combo grill for your needs, we've conducted extensive tests on a range of models on the market. In this article, we'll share our top picks based on performance, features, and value for money, to help you make the best decision for your outdoor cooking needs. The best gas charcoal combo grills reviewed 1. Best budget: Dual Fuel Combination Charcoal/Gas Grill The value that this grill provides is difficult to match. Three sides are included: a charcoal side, a three-burner gas side, and a 12,000 BTU propane side burner. You get 295 square inches on the gas side as opposed to 262 on the charcoal side, making the gas side slightly larger. Cast iron is used for the grill grates, while the propane side features 3 stainless steel tube burners with a combined 24,000 BTUs. You get a height-adjustable tray and a front access door for adding charcoal on the charcoal side. Although installation takes some time, the instruction manual is comprehensive and all necessary tools are included. Customer Reviews Reason to buy: ✅ Value for money: For a dual fuel grill with all of these capabilities, this pricing is fantastic. Reason to avoid: ⭕ Long assembly process: Similar to the majority of the grills on this list, this grill requires you to carefully read the directions and will take a long time to put together. 2. Best Overall: Char-Griller 5050 Duo Gas-and-Charcoal Grill The company Char-griller specializes in making reasonably priced, high-quality smokers, grills, and related accessories. One of the market's most adaptable grills is their 5050 Duo Gas and Charcoal Combo Grill. This hybrid grill is made of sturdy stainless steel and has heavy-duty cast-iron grates that have been porcelain-coated for longevity. Grease can be easily removed by brushing the grates clean. You get a major cooking area of 438 square inches on the gas grill and 580 square inches on the charcoal grill with this grill. If this was not enough, both the grills feature separate warming racks. A cast-iron gas burner is also included in the propane and charcoal grill combo to aid in the preparation of your sides. Additionally, it may be made into a workspace by folding down the cover. Additionally, the grill comes with three reliable steel burners that together produce 40800 BTUs, enabling you to heat the gas grill to 500 degrees. You can quickly fire up your barbecue with the electric ignition. Customer Reviews Separate temperature gauges are also included on the lids of the dual gas and charcoal grills for easy measurement of the inside temperature. Reason to buy: ✅ High heat production ✅ Storage for condiments and a bottom rack ✅ Significant cooking capacity ✅ Easily put together ✅ Supplementary side gas burners ✅ Flexible grate for fine-grained temperature adjustment ✅ Temperature indicators Reason to avoid: ⭕ Poor components ⭕ High expense of maintenance ⭕ Not very resilient RELATED: Best Char-Griller Grills 3. If you'd also like to smoke: Pit Boss Memphis Ultimate 4-in-1 LP Gas, Charcoal, Smoker The Memphis from Pit Boss will meet all of your needs if you're searching for a single, all-purpose grill and smoker. This grill checks the boxes for both gas and charcoal cooking, and it raises the bar even further by including an electric smoker feature. Although Pit Boss is better renowned for its selection of reasonably priced flat top grills and pellet smokers, the Memphis offers a 4-in-1 cooking option. 2,167 square inches total cooking space, made up of: - 1,327 square inches of grill cooking space - Smoker electric - 840 square in. With the help of several adjustable vents, you can chill smoke or offset smoke in the gas or charcoal chamber. Customer Reviews Reason to buy: ✅ Provides complete coverage - It's great to have a charcoal or propane grill. The smoker is excellent to have on hand even if you don't anticipate using it. Reason to avoid: ⭕ Be prepared to spend some time assembling this grill because it is a big, sophisticated machine with many parts. ⭕ Several quality control concerns It's difficult to know if this is the result of faulty assembly or Pit Boss's lack of quality control, but many customers have complained about pieces that don't line up, improper seals, and variable temperature. 4. Best combo grill: Smoke Hollow 4-in-1 LP Gas Charcoal Smoker Searing BBQ Grill Model PS9900 Combo grills are typically described as combining a charcoal grill and a gas grill. It's not the same with Smoke Hollow. A remarkable FOUR different forms of barbecue are combined in this unit: propane, charcoal, smoker, and infrared searing burner. The cooking area on this amazing barbecue is a whopping 860 square inches. 30,000 BTUs of power are spread out over this vast area. The infrared burner is a wonderful enhancement. Although side burners are frequently found on gas grills, this one is ceramic, as is typical of high-end infrared grill models. Ceramic is an excellent heat-distribution material, so you can adequately heat food while using less energy or heat leakage. In order to assure durability, it also includes cast iron grates on both the charcoal and propane grill elements. Additionally, it has temperature gauges. It weighs 168 pounds, which makes it heavy but portable. It features top and bottom dampers, much like any decent smoker, so you can properly experiment with BBQ smoking techniques. Reason to buy: ✅ Incredibly adaptable, having an integrated infrared searing burner ✅ Sufficient grilling area ✅ Easy to put together, especially given the size Reason to avoid: ⭕ Uncertain design ⭕ Smoker boxes may be picky. ⭕ If not properly covered and stored, rusts easily. Read more: Best Gas Charcoal Combo Grills 5. Best compact combo: Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner Liquid Propane and Charcoal Hybrid Grill With 540 square inches of cooking space, this Char Broil combo grill is on the lesser side of the spectrum. It is significantly smaller than other types of combo grills since it consolidates its charcoal and gas capabilities into a single grill. While the Char Broil offers excellent gas and charcoal grilling, this does not imply subpar performance. Its amazing 40,000 BTU output for its propane element is spread over 3 burners. These are placed beneath cast iron grates, which means that very little of the heat generated by them is lost and is effectively dispersed around the surface of your grill. You place a tray, which serves as the grill's charcoal element, beneath the grates. Simply deposit your coals in this tray, then put it back into the grill. It could not be any easier and takes hardly any time. Customer Reviews The tray simply tucks away into a compartment on the side of the grill when not in use. Then, it also has a side burner, which by itself has a BTU output of roughly 12,000. I like how this is separate from the gas and charcoal elements; if you want to cook over charcoal slowly and then quickly sear it, Char Broil has made this very simple for you. Reason to buy: ✅ Streamlined and light design �� Simple to switch from gas to charcoal ✅ Side heater and a functional shelf ✅ Built-in gas and charcoal storage Reason to avoid: ⭕ Reduced total cooking surface. 6. Best value: Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe's Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo The Oklahoma Joe's Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo might be what you need if you're seeking for a single multi-fuel grill to handle practically all of your cooking demands. This monster combines a 3-burner gas grill, a classic charcoal grill, and an offset smoker so you can cook everything without having to clutter up your backyard with a BBQ joint's worth of equipment. Because the charcoal and gas cooking surfaces are positioned side by side, assembling a two-zone cooking setup is incredibly simple. Three 12,000 BTU burners on the gas side provide 36,000 BTUs of heat, and there is also a side burner. Because of the offset firebox, the charcoal side also functions as a smoker. You can place the charcoal in the offset chamber and use the numerous dampers on either side of the firebox and smoking chamber to distribute the heat and smoke evenly over the meal without directly heating it. Or, for more conventional grilling, just add charcoal to the main chamber. Customer Reviews Although the Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo is made of strong gauge steel, it is not stainless, thus if you intend to leave it outside, it is better to get a cover. Both the cooking chambers and the firebox contain six cooking grates totaling 1,060 square inches of cooking surface, lid-mounted temperature gauges, and cool-touch steel handles. sufficient for a sizable cookout. Reason to buy: ✅ The grill serves as a smoker and lets you cook with gas and charcoal. ✅ The grill includes side burner temperature ✅ Handles with a cool feel Reason to avoid: ⭕ Heavyweight ⭕ Expensive Read more: Best Extra Large Charcoal Grills Conclusion After conducting research and testing several gas charcoal combo grills, our findings show that the best gas charcoal combo grill is the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center. This grill offers the convenience of a gas grill and the flavor of a charcoal grill, with a large cooking area, versatile cooking options, and high-quality construction. It features a gas ignition system that makes it easy to light the charcoal quickly and efficiently, as well as a built-in charcoal bin that allows for easy disposal of ash and debris. In addition, the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center comes with several other useful features, including a removable LCD timer, a built-in rotisserie system, and a built-in smoker box. It also has a durable, porcelain-enameled finish that resists rust and corrosion, making it a long-lasting investment for any outdoor cooking enthusiast. While the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center is a high-end option, it offers excellent value for its price, and its performance and features make it the top choice for anyone looking for a gas charcoal combo grill that can handle all their grilling and smoking needs.

I have dreams, big and small. Big ones take longer to come true. I know that well. On the other hand, looks like some small ones are coming true recently, one after another.

And learning how to fillet a huge fish -- like Japanese amberjack -- was one of them. :) 私には大小さまざまな夢があり、大きなものは��然、すぐには叶わない。一方小さな夢のほうは、どうもこのところ、次々と叶ってきてる様子で。大きな魚－－ブリとか－－を捌けるようになりたい、というのも、その一つでした。

When I say a big fish, it’s THIS big (or bigger). My hometown is a small fishing village and Japanese amberjack is the main source of local fishermen’s income. Every year in early spring, when big schools of Japanese amberjack migrate to this area, the locals rush to the fishing port to buy good ones. The fish will be on their dinner table and sent to their families and relatives living far away. Usually it’s men’s job to fillet the huge fish. But in my neighborhood, some housewives can do it, too, and I’ve been wanting to be able to do it myself. Why? Well, my dad is a stockholder of the local fixed-net fishermen’s union (or something) and our family can buy their fish much cheaper than the market price. So it used to be our family tradition to buy one whole J. amberjack and have dad fillet it. But now he became too old for that and our family stopped buying a whole J. amberjack because 1) asking someone to fillet it for us is not easy, and 2) with my old parents eating less these days, buying a whole big fish is wasteful. It was such a shame not using our privilege. When I really wanted to taste J. amberjack, the only way was buying expensive, less fresh fillet at the store! Of course I wasn’t happy about that. Then I started thinking... ... What if I learn to fillet the fish myself? What if I find someone to teach me how to do that and to share the fish with? 大きな魚、と言えば最低このくらいのサイズのこと。ウチの辺りでは、毎春のブリ漁が地域の収入の要。ブリのシーズンには、住民が港に駆け付けて、家で堪能するぶんと、離れて住む家族や親せきに送るぶんとをシッカリ確保します。捌くのは普通男性の仕事だけど、この辺りではオバチャンでも出来る人がいます。そして、私も捌けるようになりたいとずっと思っていて。というのも、ウチは父が地元の定置網の組合の株を持ってるので、まるごとのブリを流通価格より安く買える。なので、毎年1匹まるごとを買って、父が捌くのが恒例行事だったのでした。が、歳のせいで父がもう捌けなくなり、加えて、今や両親の食が細く、まるまる1匹買っても食べきれないから、もう買うなということになり。それからは、どうしてもブリのシーズンに食べたくなったら、店で高い切り身を少量買うだけに。せっかく大量に安く買って、この土地ならではの贅沢を堪能できる特権があるのに、なんと悲しいこと..。と、そのうち思いついたのが、「誰かに捌き方を習って、私が自分で捌いたら？その教えてくれる人と、捌いたブリを半分こすれば、無駄にもならないのでは？」

THAT was the small dream that has come true this time. :D I found the “someone,” a perfect private tutor! As for the place, the sturdy big sink in the ex-garage at Craft House seemed ideal. Now I’m not sure what processes the English word “fillet” can actually include, but when we deal with this whole J. amberjack, we have to deal with the head, too. ※ So, here’s a warning. If you’re not from the culture of cooking/eating huge fish head, some of the following photos may look gross and I may look like a savage. I can just hope that you find a different culinary culture interesting rather than disgusting...

それが、今回叶った、ささやかな夢。捌き方を教えてくれて、ブリを半分もらってくれる人が見つかりました！捌く場所は、しおさい庵の元車庫のほうにある古い頑丈な流し台がベスト！

I bought this early in the morning at the fishing port. これを朝イチで港で購入。

With the private tutor’s help, I worked on the fish... 先生の見本をみて、助けてもらいながら、捌く...

Yep, in the local traditional culinary culture, the head of J. amberjack is not thrown away. And to eat it, you need to halve it. I used to think that only strong men could do that, but my tutor said that it’s not about power but knowing exactly where to cut. 郷土の食文化では、ブリの頭も捨てません。食べるには、半分にカチ割らねば。ここが、男性の腕力でないとムリだろうと思ってた部分なんだけど。が、教わったところによると、正しい位置に包丁の刃が入れば、そんなに力入れなくても割れるものらしい。

I managed to do that. なんとか出来た♬　

Yeah, we did a decent job! We packed the fillet, halved head and collars in an ice-filled styrofoam box. Actually, the head and collars are the delicacy. And our hard work was followed by...

コレ、けっこううまく出来たのではないかと。^^）身と半割の頭とカマを、氷詰め。そしてこの一仕事の後には...

... an outdoor BBQ at a friend’s place! 友達のお宅の庭で、ＢＢＱという段取り！

Anything tastes good when grilled over binchotan charcoal, but it’s especially so when the fish and vegetables are really fresh and locally caught/grown. 備長炭で焼けばなんでも美味しいけど、それが特に、地元で獲れたばかりの魚と畑からの野菜だとコレはもう... 💕💗

And these are the delicacy: halved heads and collars. They taste the best if grilled this way while they are very fresh (which means the fish fat is fresh). On the other hand, I like to wait like overnight before I eat the fillet as sashimi (sliced raw fish). The flesh of J. amberjack is rather tough when it is too fresh. I’d rather wait until it is softer and have more inosinic acid.

Anyway, seasoned with salt made from Deep Seawater, they tasted heavenly.

備長炭でこんがり焼けた頭とカマ。もぉこの美味さ！！この料理のためには、ゼッタイ獲れたてがいいですね。魚の脂が古くならないうちに焼けばこその、臭みのない美味しい脂の香ばしさ！深層水の塩だけのシンプルな味付けが、ほんとうのうまみをひきたてて。もう夢中で骨に付いた身をほじってほじって、これがまた白いご飯に合うこと合うこと！忘れられない美味さでした。

Unexpected addition: seared largescale blackfish. 予定外に手に入ったグレでタタキも。

The BBQ was just great. It was definitely an unforgettable afternoon. 何もかも、楽しくて、美味しさに感動して、ホントに忘れられないＢＢＱとなりました。

................. And, as I mentioned above, I waited overnight to make these sashimi and sushi. で、上でも言ったように、刺身と寿司は1晩寝かせた身で翌日に。

Almost every year, I enjoy J. amberjack, but it was very special this year because I prepared the food from scratch and the BBQ with my friends added such a special moment. How lucky I am!!! :D :D

ほぼ毎年、ブリ料理は楽しんでるけど。今年は特別で格別！！まるごとを捌けるようになったし、友達との特別な時間の幸せな思い出が出来たしで。私は本当にシアワセものだ...！

Some Los Angeles Tips

People are always asking me what they should do when they visit LA. I am by no means the greatest LA expert on earth, but I’ve lived here more than a decade now, and I have some ideas for you. Note that I live in the far Northeast corner of LA, and really rarely travel to the western half of town. So if you are looking for advice on Beverly Hills stuff or Malibu stuff or whatever, I am not that helpful. Also this is very subjective and really non-comprehensive in general. Just some stuff I like!

In General

Rent a car if you drive, but don't be afraid to take the bus or subway. There are some very long distances to traverse, and not everything is convenient to transit, but the transit is reasonably comfortable and efficient for a lot of purposes (going downtown, for example), particularly when combined with some judicious ride-sharing. There's plenty of parking everywhere, despite what Angelenos would have you think. Don't try to do too many things in one day, or cross town on the 10, 101 or 405 at anything even resembling rush hour (ie between like seven and ten thirty or three and seven on weekdays). Stick to one area for the day, maybe two.

The Museum of Jurassic Technology This is the best thing in Los Angeles and one of the best things in the world. It is part museum, part art project. To explain it much further might ruin the experience of visiting it, but please take my word that it is one of the most amazing places in the world.

The Watts Towers As the name suggests, they're in Watts, a bit out of the way for some trips, but absolutely without a doubt worth the travel. They're an incredible artwork/building built in a backyard out of rebar, concrete, glass and tile by an illiterate Italian immigrant in the mid-20th century. Worth signing up for a tour, they are cheap (it's a city park) and not all that long. There's also a little gallery on the site. One of the great works of American outsider art and a deeply beloved city treasure.

Other, More Regular Museums LACMA is a world-class art museum. The collection is a bit scattered (and as of this writing a wing is closed for renovation and replacement), but it's really good. It's in Mid-City on the Miracle Mile, and surrounded by other museums. The Petersen Automotive Museum is pretty cool if you're into cars. La Brea Tar Pits are more park than museum, but the museum is fun in a kitschy way, if you're into prehistoric creatures. It's also a nice place to eat lunch. In Exposition Park are a few major museums - the Natural History Museum is pretty good, though not better than others in other major cities (the Field Museum or whatever). The science museum is OK but significantly outclassed by the competition (it's no Exploratorium), though it does have a real space shuttle, which is pretty sweet. The Annenberg Space for Photography does what it says on the label. A good mid-size museum of photographs, check what show is up. The Broad is a nice contemporary art museum in a beautiful building that's right near Walt Disney Concert Hall, also an incredible building. They have a second campus in Little Tokyo that's very nice but smaller.

Architectural Stuff The LA Conservancy runs affordable walking tours that take you into some of the most fascinating built environments in LA. The subject matter ranges from Art Deco in downtown to the modern skyscrapers of the 50s through 90s. They're mostly Saturdays, but a few also run on weekdays. Can't recommend them enough if you're up for a couple hours of walking. You can go inside the Bradbury Building and up into the upper floors! It's cool. (The Conservancy also runs screenings in the big movie palaces downtown, which are mostly otherwise closed to the public. Definitely recommend those.) A couple of other architectural highlights: the Hollyhock House is in Barnsdall Park in Los Feliz. It's a restored Frank Lloyd Wright estate willed to the city many years ago that as of relatively recently runs regular tours. Also in the park is the city art museum of LA, which sometimes has some cool shows. Cal Poly Pomona students run tours on Saturdays of the Neutra VDL studio and residences in Silver Lake, which can be combined with a nice walk around the lake and some middle-aged-hipster watching. The Gamble House in Pasadena is an absolutely breathtaking craftsman mansion with a lot of

Griffith Park Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. It has all kinds of stuff within it - the LA Zoo, the Griffith Observatory, some great hiking. It's a great place to spend some time. If you have little kids, they will love Travel Town, a train graveyard/museum that's inside the park (and free!). The zoo is good if you like zoos, though not incredibly great or anything. The Autry Museum of the American West is worth a visit if you're into that kind of thing.

The Grove I know that we talk about The Grove a lot on Jordan, Jesse, Go. Please do not waste your vacation time at the Grove. It's a mall. It's fine. This also applies to the Americana at Brand, which we sometimes talk about because we have talked about the Grove too much. Also a mall. A little nicer than some? I went there when I needed a new power cable for my Surface.

Dodger Stadium Look, I am a Giants fan and hate the Dodgers, but if you are a baseball fan, Dodger Stadium is a great place to watch a baseball game. Even I can admit that. Angel Stadium is about as generic as it gets, but if you go on a weekday you can take a train from Union Station in LA.

The Getty Center The Getty Center is a beautiful building on a breathtaking piece of real estate. It's pretty cool to visit, but be aware that most of the art is pretty early, so if you don't like busts or paintings of feasts and stuff from the bible, then it might not be your jam art-wise. And getting up there is a whole thing. That said: it really is a beautiful building and an incredible view, so you probably won't feel like it's a waste. And if you like busts, then get your ass over there.

Downtown Stuff I will again recommend the LA Conservancy's walking tours to get a flavor of downtown LA, which is very walkable and full of incredible stuff. The main library is a beautiful edifice, the history of which is detailed in Susan Orlean's The Library Book. Worth wandering around in. Grand Central Market is a great place to get a bite, though pretty bougie at this point. Right next to Grand Central Market is Angel's Flight, a block-long funicular that is a lot of fun and costs next to nothing. Besides this, there are still functional specialized commercial districts in downtown LA. The flower district is particularly fun - the big flower market opens early for wholesale sales but is open to the public and there are tons of stores selling silk and artificial flowers which are very fun to wander through. There are also areas with stores specializing in selling imported toys, store fixtures (a favorite of mine), jewelry and fabric. Most of the fabric is kinda garbage honestly but there is a good tailor supply store called B. Black and Sons and a great hat making store (worth visiting even if you don't make hats) called California Millinery Supply. FIDM also has a thrift store with cheap fabric leftover from LA-based factories.

Movies The Arclight is a fancy movie chain, and the Hollywood location (near Amoeba Records) is also the home of the Cinerama Dome, which is pretty fun. The Vista is a great single-screen theater on the east side. There are some great rep houses on the west side - check your local listings.

Comedy Stuff The UCB has a few great shows every night at both locations. It's hard to go wrong, though you should be aware you will be seeing things that are a little rougher than whatever makes it to your town as a road show. The signature improv show is Asssscat, which is absolutely as good as it gets. Dynasty Typewriter (right by our office) has a lot of great shows these days. A great standup show is Hot Tub at the Virgil. The big comedy clubs have pretty comedy-club-y comedy in them, not necessarily what I'd recommend, though you will certainly see a lot of relatively big names doing sets. The Improv Lab sometimes has MaxFun-adjacent headliners who've put together their own lineups, as does Flappers in Burbank. Largo has bigger-name shows of this variety as well, and if you go see a show there headlined by a Sarah Silverman or Patton Oswalt, the lineup will likely be packed with their pals, even if they aren't advertised.

Some Places To Eat This is NOT a comprehensive list. First: Jonathan Gold died a few years ago, but he is still the king of LA food. Anything he recommended in the Weekly or Times is still the gold standard (no pun intended). He was also a wonderful writer and a champion of foodways that are unfamiliar to many in LA, much less outside LA. If you are a food nerd, KCRW's Good Food is a superb local food show (and podcast) produced by Nick Liao, who used to work at MaxFun.

Philipe's The French Dip A restaurant that's been around for literally a century, with sawdust on the floor, big jars of pickled eggs, ladies in hairnets and really tasty French Dips. They have competing claims to having invented them but the other competitor turned into one of those goofy sleeve-garter-barman subway tile exposed lightbulb places about ten years ago. Philipe's is totally for real and great.

Pie N Burger This is just a burger place in Pasadena that sells classic SoCal-style burgers and is really great. Cash only, though.

Langer's The only one of the Jewish delis in LA that's really worth a special trip. The #19 (pastrami, cole slaw and swiss on rye) is truly one of the world's greatest foods. Pastrami here is better than anywhere else I've ever eaten, including those famous delis in New York.

Park's BBQ

One of many great Korean BBQ restaurants in LA, but the only one recommended to me personally by Jonathan Gold. (I also like Soot Bull Jeep, which barbeques over charcoal and will leave you smelling like smoke, and Hae Jang Chong for all-you-can-eat.) (There are LOTS of different kinds of Korean food, but I am not an expert on the soups and blood sausages and bibimbaps and etc., but if you're adventurous, you could eat a different Korean food at a different spot every month in LA and make out well.)

Guelagetza Oaxacan food is one of the best kinds of food in the world, and Guelagetza is an LA institution that serves good-quality Oaxacan food. Moles, tlayudas, queso fundido. If you've never eaten any of this stuff, a couple of chicken moles are a great place to start (as is Guelagetza).

Dim Sum You can drive all the way to the San Gabriel Valley and eat at one of the many wonderful dim sum places there. That's where the best stuff is. If it's not worth a special trip to you, I like a place called Lunasia in Pasadena, and they also serve dim sum for dinner. Not a HUGE menu but good food.

Mozza This pizzeria, now a sort of group of restaurants, is an unimpeachably excellent Fancy Meal in LA. So (per my producer Kevin) are the other restaurants run by the same chef, Nancy Silverton.

The Dal Rae This is an old-timey fancy restaurant in Pico Rivera, a semi-industrial part of LA. It's just a great place to wear a suit to and eat Clams Casino. Famous for their table-made Caesar salad (legit great) and pepper steak (too peppery for me). Generally the food is excellent in a 1955 sort of way.

Bludsoe's Best Texas-style barbeque I've had outside of Texas. Used to be a window down by the airport, now a fancier place on La Brea, but I'm told the food is just as good at the fancy place.

Pupusas I love to eat pupusas. Maybe my favorite food. I really like to eat pupusas at Los Molcajetes on Hoover in Westlake (near Koreatown). Note they are weirdly big here (a regional variation of some kind) and they only take cash. (Note also this is one of 10,000 restaurants in LA named Los Molcajetes.) I also sometimes eat at a nice sit-down Salvadoran place called Las Cazuelas on Figueroa in Highland Park.

In N Out In N Out is good! It will not change your life! But it is very tasty, especially for a $4 food! Some people complain about the fries, which are fresh-cut and fried only once and thus are less crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside than some others! I think they are fine! Try In N Out, why not! But maybe don't make a whole special trip to do so!

Tacos and Other SoCal Mexican Food Stuff Everyone has their own favorite taco places, and none of my favorites are so special they should be destinations. They are mostly my favorites because they are close to my home and work. But I can tell you that I like to get sit-down Mexican-American food at La Abeja on Figueroa in LA, where I eat a lot of carne adovada and enchiladas and sometimes albondigas or breakfast. I also really like to eat carne en su jugo at Carnes Asadas Pancho Lopez on Pasadena in Lincoln Heights. I eat tacos from Tacos La Estrella on York in Highland Park or the truck (with no name) across from the Mexican consulate on Park View at sixth in Westlake. At night I sometimes get cheap tacos (I like buche) from the place that opens up on Pasadena at Avenue 37. I like the shrimp and fish tacos at Via-Mar on Figueroa. I like Huaraches from Huaraches Azteca on York. The burritos at Yuca’s in Los Feliz (or Pasadena) are great, though they are totally different from the SF-style burritos that I grew up eating. I sometimes get nachos at Carnitas Michoacan on Broadway in Lincoln Heights, which feature meat and cheese sauce and are gross but also really, really good. I have also eaten at the very fancy Mexican restaurant Border Grill and to be honest it is really good even though the interior feels a little like a cross between a fancy restaurant in 1989 and a Chili's.

El Coyote This is a famous Mexican-American restaurant from the early part of the 20th century, but you shouldn't go there because the food sucks.

Stores I Like This is going to be REAL subjective, but a few stores I like which sell the kinda stuff you'd expect me to want. &etc - A great (small) antique store at 1913 Fremont in Pasadena. The Last Bookstore - A downtown bookstore that is the closest thing to a "destination" book store in LA. Good selection and reasonable prices on used books, and a nice art book room. (Records as well, but they're not very good.) Gimme Gimme Records - I like this record store in Highland Park. You'll pay retail here, but reasonable retail, and the selection (while not immense) is really excellent. Good stuff in all genres.

Secret Headquarters - One time at this small comics store in Silver Lake the lady at the counter asked if I was Jesse from Jordan Jesse Go and they won my business forever in that moment. Don Ville - My friend Raul makes and sells shoes (and repairs them!) in the northern part of Koreatown. If you have the dough, get him to make you some shoes! The Bloke - A really great little menswear store in Pasadena. Sells cool (expensive) trad-ish brands like Drake's and Hilditch & Key and Alden. The Good Liver - A beautiful shop in Little Tokyo specializing in perfect home goods. The perfect scissors, the perfect dish towel and so forth. Some things are expensive, some aren't. H Lorenzo Archive - The "outlet" shop of a designer clothing store on the west side. Discounts aren't huge, but the selection is really interesting, and they have a good collection of one of my favorite brands, Kapital. Sid Mashburn - Excellent classic clothing shop on the west side. Suit Supply & Uniqlo - if you haven't got these where you live, they're the places I usually send people for reasonably-priced tailored clothes (Suit Supply) and cheap basics (Uniqlo). Olvera Street - This is an old-timey tourist attraction, a street of folks selling Mexican handcrafts (and their Chinese-made analogs). Right near Union Station and Philipe's, and a great place to buy factory-made huaraches (the shoes, not the food). They even have sizes big enough for me, which is pretty much impossible to find in Mexico or most Mexican-American shoe stores. Thrift Stores - I go to a lot of thrift stores but if I told you which ones you might buy something I would have bought so I'm not going to tell you which thrift stores.

Flea Markets You may know I am at the flea market every weekend. The good fleas are on Sundays, and there's one every week. First Sunday of the month is Pasadena City College, a big (and free) market with pretty reasonable pricing. PCC has a pretty big record section in addition to the regular flea market stuff. Second weekend is the famous Rose Bowl flea, which is HUGE and has a big new goods section (blech) and vintage clothing area (good!). Third weekend is Long Beach Airport, which is a great overall show. Fourth is Santa Monica airport, which is smaller and a little fancier but very nice. The Valley flea is also fourth Sundays, at Pierce College, and that's not huge but sometimes surprises me. With all of these, the earlier you can arrive, the better you'll do (not least for weather reasons). I usually try to get there around 7:30 or 8:00. The Rose Bowl in particularl is a 4-6 hour operation if you do most of it. There are also a lot of swap meets - I don't know enought to recommend any in particular, but these are much more about tube socks and batteries and bootleg movies than antiques and collectibles. Still can be fun, though, and are certainly a proud SoCal tradition. (The Silverlake Flea and the Melrose Trading Post are garbage, don't go there.)

Going to the Beach I'm not a huge beach goer, but by all means go to the beach if that's your thing. The Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica is a great place to base your operation, though you have to arrive in the morning on busy days to get a parking spot.

Kid Stuff I mentioned Travel Town, that's pretty great. Kidspace in Pasadena is a very good children's museum. The Bob Baker Marionette Theater is a great place to see a marionette show straight out of 1966. There's a good aquarium in Long Beach though it's a bit nutty there on weekends, and the zoo in Griffith Park is a good zoo. I really like Descanso Gardens, a big botanical garden northeast of LA. Huntington Gardens is also very nice, though it's much more expensive and hotter.

Geography Los Angeles is BIG. I'd say try to spend each of your days within about a sixth of it, geographically. It's entirely possible to do west side and east side stuff on the same trip, but don't try to do them on the same day. Look at a map and look at driving times when you're planning. Neighborhoods in LA are BIG, geographically speaking, don't assume two things in the same neighborhood are an easy walk. There aren't a ton of urban neighborhoods suitable for wandering in the way there are in some places. A few manageable general areas for stuff you might like: Silverlake/Los Feliz/Echo Park, Koreatown, Highland Park, downtown, Little Tokyo and the Arts District. (I live in the northeast part of town, and don't spend much time on the west side, which is one reason why this list focuses more on east side stuff. Some folks like West Hollywood and Venice on the west side. Long Beach and Pasadena are both neat towns with their own thing going on that might be worth a visit, too.)

Books & Media The Great Los Angeles Book is probably City of Quartz, a socialist-leaning history of LA. I really loved Susan Orlean's The Library Book, which is about the library as an institution, but also specifically the LA central library and the mysterious fire that nearly destroyed it. And a wild guy named Charles Lummis who was one of the founding fathers of LA culture and was really something else. (You can visit his house - it's right off the 110 near Highland Park.) An LA movie I love is The Long Goodbye, which is sort of a predecessor/inspiration for The Big Lebowski. A shaggy mystery directed by Altman where Elliott Gould just sort of wanders around LA. Another really cool one is Los Angeles Plays Itself, a long (long!) film essay about the ways the real Los Angeles has been used to create fictional worlds in film over the decades.

TV Tapings I'm not an expert in TV tapings. I can say that I've been to a few Conan tapings, and while it takes a LOOOOONG time to get in there, the show is fun to watch live. This is generally true of talk shows and most game shows, which tape more or less as-live. Sitcoms take WAY longer than you were expecting them to. Make sure to try to book tickets early if you have something you want to see. No matter what it's a most-of-the-day thing.

Nightlife Is a word that describes evening activities - especially dance clubs. I am old and don't know about these things.

The Magic Castle I can't get you in, please don't ask me to. I went a couple times. It's fine. If you're not into magic you're not missing too much. If you are, then obviously, it's a priority.

The Walk of Fame and Hollywood Not recommended, not worth it, don't bother.

Disneyland Why would you want my opinion about Disneyland? It's Disneyland. You're in or you're out.

San Diego If you happen to plan a side trip to San Diego, you can take the Amtrak there, and it is a breathtakingly beautiful and exceedingly pleasant trip. I have no San Diego expertise to impart beyond that, however.

Luang Prabang, Laos - Part 1

Day 161 – Chiang Mai, Thailand to Luang Prabang, Laos

In the afternoon, I packed up my bag and hailed a Red Songthaew to Chiang Mai’s airport, boarding a small, propeller plane that would take me to Luang Prabang, Laos. The flight was short, about an hour and a half east, over the mountainous green highlands. The air outside was thick and hazy, caused by smoke from burning farmer’s fields. I learned that between February-April, this was fairly common for northern Thailand and Laos, as farmers burn their fields before reseeding the soil.

Arriving at the small, red roofed airport in Luang Prabang, I quickly passed through customs, paying for my visa on arrival with US dollars. It was an interesting visa experience for me, as the visa application fee varied depending on the home country of the traveller – with Canadians paying the highest amount of any listed country. After doing some research after the fact, it appears that this is based on the reciprocal cost a Laotian would need to pay to visit Canada. Furthermore, the visa costs are also apparently related to the amount of international aid provided to Laos, where citizens of countries which have provided a higher level of aid pay lower visa costs as a result. I had not given much thought to the reciprocity of international visas before my arrival in Laos, and this was an eye-opening, educational experience for me.

As I was negotiating for a ride into town in the arrivals hall, I had the very good fortune of meeting a fellow traveller from San Francisco, Tonya, who was also travelling by herself. We quickly found out that we were also staying at the same guesthouse, and became immediate friends! Sharing a ride into town on a multi-coloured tuk-tuk, we also realized that we had a very similar itinerary planned around Asia for the coming few months! After settling into our hostel for the evening, we headed out into the town as the sun was setting.

Luang Prabang

The small city of Luang Prabang is built on a peninsula at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers, surrounded by lush green mountains. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Luang Prabang was once the capital of the historic Lane Xang Kingdom from the 14th to 16th centuries (also known as the “Kingdom of a Million Elephants”). Luang Prabang was also a historic trade centre in Southeast Asia, given its proximity to the meandering Mekong Rivier, which runs for almost 5,000 km through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Luang Prabang is also known for being the centre for Buddhism in Laos, and has many active temples, or “Vats” scattered throughout the town centre. The town was part of a French protectorate between 1893 and 1954, and the colonial influences of this era can still be seen in the architecture throughout the urban centre. Modern day Luang Prabang showcases traditional and French colonial styles throughout the town. Given the current UNESCO protections, the historic town centre was also remarkably free of the overdevelopment that can come with tourism. It was evident to me that the town had taken great care to protect their cultural heritage and architecture, with conservation and sustainability in mind.

Luang Prabang Night Market

As evening fell, Tonya and I wandered over a short distance to Sisavangvong Road, the main street through the peninsula, which was bustling with a vibrant night market. The street had been closed off to vehicles and scooters, and there were hundreds of red and blue covered stalls and bamboo mats lining the street, selling countless beautiful and unique wares. There was an incredible collection of handicrafts, ceramics, silks, clothing, antiques and other souvenirs for sale. Many of the items sold were handmade by ethnic groups in the nearby hills, although some stalls also sold cheap, imported trinkets. Overall, the market had a relaxed atmosphere, with the vendors typically waiting for the visitor to inquire about the items rather than making sales pitches. One stall in particular caught my eye – where the trader was selling jewellery and cutlery which were apparently made by recycling fragments of bombs which had been dropped on Laos by the United States during the Vietnam War.

I had no previous knowledge of the bombing campaign in Laos during the war, and was stunned to learn that there were close to 600,000 bombing campaigns in Laos between 1964-1973, with the goal to cut off supply lines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail running into Vietnam. To this day, there are estimated to be almost 80 million unexploded bombs throughout the country, which continue to kill innocent men, women and children who happen to come upon them – near half a century later. It sickened me to think about all of the bombs lying dormant in fields and forests throughout this picturesque, welcoming country.

Tonya and I briefly stopped by a money exchange to switch out our US dollars to Laotian Kip. The local denominations were huge - with banknote amounts ranging between K500 to K100,000. For the remainder of my time in Laos, this made it quite challenging to monitor just how much money I had, as the many “zeros” on the banknotes automatically tricked my brain into thinking I had more money than I actually did!

One of the Many Fresh Smoothie Stands in the Market

We spent the remainder of the evening browsing the night market, sampling spicy Laotian dishes at the food stalls along the street, and enjoying passionfruit smoothies. It was a great first day in Laos, and I was lucky to have equally terrific company with Tonya!

Day 162 – Luang Prabang

After grabbing breakfast at our hostel and befriending a few other travellers, Tonya and I headed out to explore town, passing first through the morning farmer’s market just along the street outside. The vendors start setting up before sunrise, and it was already busy as we walked through around 8:30am. Local produce and the catch-of-the-day were set up for sale on mats on the ground. Ready-to-eat snacks were also for sale, such as charcoal-grilled honeycomb, baelfruit, mung-bean rice cakes, Mok Pa (a dish cooked with catfish caught in the Mekong), Lao Khao Soi, various meats cooked in banana leaf, Khao Jee Pate (a Laotian take on a Banh Mi Baguette sandwich) barbecued frog, water buffalo sausage, coconut milk pancakes, young coconuts, various noodle dishes, and even grilled rat – just to name a few snacks! We enjoyed stolling along the street, chatting with the friendly vendors, and taking in the vibrant colours, sights and smells of the market.

We continued onwards to the bank of the Mekong River, lined with palm and banana trees. Long, shallow river boats churned through the milky brown water below. Beyond the wide, lazy river, we could see lush green mountains in the distance. As we walked along the embankment, various tour operators approached us, trying to sell us tours in these slow riverboats. While we were certainly interested, Tonya and I had done our research on reputable tours, and planned to purchase our trip up the Mekong for the following day.

Drying Orange Robes in a Monastery in Luang Prabang

Turning inland, we began to meander along the quieter streets of town, lined with traditional Lao houses and guesthomes, many of which were constructed with bamboo materials during the colonial period. The UNESCO protections in the town continued to be evident, as there were no high-rise buildings or large tour buses anywhere in the town centre. Tuk-tuks and scooters were by far the most common means of transportation for locals and visitors. As we walked, we occasionally passed some active Buddhist monasteries, and while we could not enter, we could see the laundered orange robes of the monks hanging out to dry.

Wat Xieng Thong

We visited one of the best-known monasteries in the town centre, Wat Xieng Thong. Dating back to the 16th century, the temple complex housed a gilded ordination hall, with large, sweeping roofs, along with numerous stupas, chapels, a library, a drum tower, and a funeral carriage - historically used to carry the urns of Lao royalty. The architecture throughout Wat Xieng Thong was simply stunning, with every structure richly decorated with engravings, colourful mosaics, paintings, gilding and elaborate sculptures.

A close-up of mosaics at Wat Xieng Thong

Ready for some shade and bite to eat, Tonya and I headed to the banks of the Nam Khan River, crossing a bamboo footbridge to the far bank. The bamboo bridges of Luang Prabang are built by local families on an annual basis, facilitating the journey to and from the old quarter of the city. Incredibly, though these bridges are solely built from bamboo and rope, they are very sturdy! As visitors to Luang Prabang, Tonya and I paid a small toll to cross the bridge, which contributes to the upkeep and annual bridge replacement.

Bamboo Bridge across the Nam Khan River

On the far banks of the river, we arrived at Dyen Sabai – a restaurant recommended by a friend of mine from Western, Brandon - who had briefly lived abroad in Laos, and had generously given me all sorts of local recommendations! He had highly recommended that I visit Dyen Sabai for their Lao Buffalo Fondue. The setting was peaceful – Tonya and I sat on low futons at a riverside table, surrounded by a beautiful bamboo garden. The buffalo fondue dish turned out to be cooked in a similar way to Chinese hot pot/Korean BBQ. The servers prepared a small charcoal fire in a metal container built into the table, before placing a specialized cover overtop. This set-up allowed Tonya and I to cook the meat ourselves on the grill and cook the vegetables in the broth. It was a delicious (and interactive!) meal, a recommendation well worth it.

Buffalo Fondue at Dyen Sabai

After lunch, we traversed back over the bridge, and walked along the banks of the Nam Khan river to Utopia, a outdoor bar and bucket-list destination for any backpacker to the area (I think I had about 10 different friends recommend I go!). Tonya and I spent several hours of the late afternoon enjoying several Beer Lao while sitting on the floor cushions, chatting with other travellers and taking in the incredible ambiance of this lively riverside bar.

Nam Khan River

As evening began to fall, we returned to the town centre to climb Mount Phousi for sunset. A small mountain located in the heart of the historic town centre, Phou-si literally translates to “sacred hill”, and stands approximately 100m tall. While it was a bit of a climb to the top, I was happy for the exercise! Along the trail as we ascended were many gilded statues of Buddha, with a small temple and golden stupa at the summit. Arriving just on time for sunset, we took in an incredible 360-degree view of Luang Prabang, the Mekong River shimmering in a deep shade of orange, reflecting the mesmerizing sky above. The distant mountains were blanketed in a smoky haze from the burning of brush and farmers fields. While the hill was packed with tourists who had the same idea as us – it was still a wonderful way to end a day of exploring the city. Ready to tuck into some more of Laos’ famous street food, Tonya and I returned to the night market along Sisavangvong Road, taking in the brightly lit red and blue booths framed by tall palm trees and the opulent Royal Palace. After sharing and sampling countless delicious dishes, we headed back to our hostel, stopping at a booth on the main road to purchase tickets for our boat trip up the Mekong River the following day. I crashed almost immediately, as I was planning to wake up before dawn to view the morning Almsgiving ceremony, a daily tradition of local Buddhist monks.

The Importance Of Snacks In Your Dog's Life

Historically dogs bonded to man for the bones and foodstuffs we cast off. Man learned to domesticate these animals by offering them food. Dogs are pack family animals and they like to participate in everything we do. Being vehicles of unconditional love, dogs strive for our love and affection. The use of snacks and treats is sharing and bonding.

Giving your dog snacks is a good reward system to be used in training and playing with your pet. Tiny snacks like Train Me! Chicken, Bacon or Liver are very useful in rewarding your pet for certain activities where you want to give immediate gratification.If you watch dog shows on TV you can see the dog handlers giving their pets them as rewards for their behavior. Then there are the kinds of snacks that give long lasting entertainment and reward. These include rawhide chews in beef, bbq beef, cheese, chicken, ham, liver and peanut butter flavors. Remember the rawhide chews need to be used under close supervision. Keep an eye on your dog while he is chewing on it. Rawhide can function as snacks and toys because of the longevity of use. A Buster Behavior Cube can dispense them as your pet plays with it. This ball can be adjusted for difficulty in getting the treats out. This enables your dog to learn how to manipulate the toy and entertains and rewards your pet. hondensnacks zonder granen

Dogs are intelligent and like to learn, be challenged, and to be REWARDED! While training you can give one every time they are successful and gradually they will learn to do the trick without the reward as their behavior is learned and becomes habit.

They are very useful when training puppies. They are so eager and new and want to be in everything. Rewarding at this time helps set lifetime habits. Older dogs tend to get bad breath if they haven't had tooth cleaning through the years. To counter act this, you can treat them with flavorful mint scented chips like Mighty Mini Mint or Fresh Bites Minty Fresh. Charcoal snacks used to be very popular but I have noticed a decline of availability on the market. Even when dogs have the periodontal disease they can still be very active and enjoy chewing treats and toys. A good product for bad breath is Chew N Fresh. This contains chlorophyll, eucalyptus oil, and spearmint. These are edible breath bones. You might want to freshen up their breath before close 1 to 1 playing.

A big part of our daily routine is spent on sharing snacks. We have 4 dogs (2 are 16 and 2 are 15) and they love snacks after their morning and evening meals. They also like a snack at our meal- time, so I have a variety of doggy treats ready for such times. These snacks are very small to prevent weight gain, just a taste to help them feel included. luchtpijp hondensnack

Casa Fuzetta: A Dreamy Escape In The Heart Of Olhao, Portugal

The Algarve southern region in Portugal is one of the most sought after areas to both live and visit. You can enjoy a multitude of stunning beaches, rock caves, fresh fish delicacies and sunshine almost year round. It is not only our home here at Entire but a loved destination for getaways and property investments. With a plethora of homes and villas, one in particular always stands out for us - Casa Fuzetta. A beautiful private home and historic townhouse located in the heart of Olhao’s old town available to rent on an exclusive basis throughout the year for retreats, events, holidays and photo shoots.

Tara Donovan, owner and renovator of Casa Fuzetta, has transformed Olhao & Casa Fuzetta and have made it a sanctuary – a place to reconnect with a slower, seasonal way of life, and with a genuine community of creative, like-minded souls. Together, they have an exceptional ability to create everyday magic. Their mission is to help you share in that everyday magic!

The house has over 1000sqm of internal space and 560sqm of external space including:

12 double bedrooms, each with a large ensuite bathroom (with walk-in shower, and in one, with an additional free-standing bath) [nine of the twelve have the flexibility of being twin rooms ] None is smaller than 13sqm, with the largest being 32sqm (excluding in each case bathroom and outside spaces) Most are in the region of 23sqm

rooftop pool (9mx3m – heated when needed) and pool bar

rooftop yoga decks (capacity for 16 + teacher)

meditation room (capacity for 16 + teacher)

two massage/treatment rooms

multiple terraces and outdoor sitting areas for communal entertaining or sneaking away to read a book!

games room with pool table

large winter living room with open fireplace

library opening onto a central courtyard

large contemporary domestic kitchen, opening onto a large terrace with tables and seating for 24 in comfort [the terrace also has a charcoal BBQ and separate open fireplace to extend the dining out season]

industrial prep kitchen on the ground floor - for larger events and/or winter dining downstairs

large entrance hall – for flexible use (including potential winter dining room)

laundry

EXTRA TOUCHES

When we travel, we find it can be the little things that count the most; so we’ve included the following elements to add an extra touch of comfort to your stay:

White Company 100% cotton bed linen

White company 100% cotton luxury light terry bath towels

LaEva gold standard organic units of well-being (wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner)

Stylish hammam towels and umbrellas for the beach

Hand made local wicker baskets for trips to the beach or the market

Hairdryer

Top of the range ceiling fans

AC, but only where it is needed [We dislike AC – it dries you out and is terrible for the environment. In some places around the house it makes things more comfortable and has been included but for the most part the old house design included clever use of natural ventilation, which we have taken advantage of and boosted with the ceiling fans; keeping AC to a minimum]

Underfloor heating throughout the bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas

It is ideal for large families*, friends and groups seeking a high-end, yet relaxed, private and intimate location for time together, special occasions and/or retreats. The house has capacity to sleep 24 in style and comfort, with no compromise on space or service. *(with children aged 8 years or more)

Located in the heart of Olhao’s old town , the fabulous markets and a wide selection of family run restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house – as are the ferries and taxis to the outlying islands. When you book with us, we will send you a link to the app we have created for houseguests, with maps and suggestions on the best places to eat and visit both in Olhao and the wider area.

Almost, best of all, the house is no more than 15 minutes drive from Faro international airport – well served, all year round by multiple airlines.

Best Gas Charcoal Combo Grills: Top Picks and Buying Guide

When it comes to outdoor cooking, having the right grill can make all the difference. Gas grills are known for their convenience and speed, while charcoal grills are loved for their smoky flavor and versatility. But what if you could have the best of both worlds in a single grill? That's where gas charcoal combo grills come in. Gas charcoal combo grills are becoming increasingly popular among outdoor cooking enthusiasts, thanks to their ability to offer the convenience of gas grilling and the smoky flavor of charcoal grilling in a single appliance. With a gas charcoal combo grill, you can quickly fire up your grill with gas for a speedy cook or take your time and enjoy the smoky flavor of charcoal for a more traditional BBQ experience. To help you find the best gas charcoal combo grill for your needs, we've conducted extensive tests on a range of models on the market. In this article, we'll share our top picks based on performance, features, and value for money, to help you make the best decision for your outdoor cooking needs. The best gas charcoal combo grills reviewed 1. Best budget: Dual Fuel Combination Charcoal/Gas Grill The value that this grill provides is difficult to match. Three sides are included: a charcoal side, a three-burner gas side, and a 12,000 BTU propane side burner. You get 295 square inches on the gas side as opposed to 262 on the charcoal side, making the gas side slightly larger. Cast iron is used for the grill grates, while the propane side features 3 stainless steel tube burners with a combined 24,000 BTUs. You get a height-adjustable tray and a front access door for adding charcoal on the charcoal side. Although installation takes some time, the instruction manual is comprehensive and all necessary tools are included. Customer Reviews Reason to buy: ✅ Value for money: For a dual fuel grill with all of these capabilities, this pricing is fantastic. Reason to avoid: ⭕ Long assembly process: Similar to the majority of the grills on this list, this grill requires you to carefully read the directions and will take a long time to put together. 2. Best Overall: Char-Griller 5050 Duo Gas-and-Charcoal Grill The company Char-griller specializes in making reasonably priced, high-quality smokers, grills, and related accessories. One of the market's most adaptable grills is their 5050 Duo Gas and Charcoal Combo Grill. This hybrid grill is made of sturdy stainless steel and has heavy-duty cast-iron grates that have been porcelain-coated for longevity. Grease can be easily removed by brushing the grates clean. You get a major cooking area of 438 square inches on the gas grill and 580 square inches on the charcoal grill with this grill. If this was not enough, both the grills feature separate warming racks. A cast-iron gas burner is also included in the propane and charcoal grill combo to aid in the preparation of your sides. Additionally, it may be made into a workspace by folding down the cover. Additionally, the grill comes with three reliable steel burners that together produce 40800 BTUs, enabling you to heat the gas grill to 500 degrees. You can quickly fire up your barbecue with the electric ignition. Customer Reviews Separate temperature gauges are also included on the lids of the dual gas and charcoal grills for easy measurement of the inside temperature. Reason to buy: ✅ High heat production ✅ Storage for condiments and a bottom rack ✅ Significant cooking capacity ✅ Easily put together ✅ Supplementary side gas burners ✅ Flexible grate for fine-grained temperature adjustment ✅ Temperature indicators Reason to avoid: ⭕ Poor components ⭕ High expense of maintenance ⭕ Not very resilient RELATED: Best Char-Griller Grills 3. If you'd also like to smoke: Pit Boss Memphis Ultimate 4-in-1 LP Gas, Charcoal, Smoker The Memphis from Pit Boss will meet all of your needs if you're searching for a single, all-purpose grill and smoker. This grill checks the boxes for both gas and charcoal cooking, and it raises the bar even further by including an electric smoker feature. Although Pit Boss is better renowned for its selection of reasonably priced flat top grills and pellet smokers, the Memphis offers a 4-in-1 cooking option. 2,167 square inches total cooking space, made up of: - 1,327 square inches of grill cooking space - Smoker electric - 840 square in. With the help of several adjustable vents, you can chill smoke or offset smoke in the gas or charcoal chamber. Customer Reviews Reason to buy: ✅ Provides complete coverage - It's great to have a charcoal or propane grill. The smoker is excellent to have on hand even if you don't anticipate using it. Reason to avoid: ⭕ Be prepared to spend some time assembling this grill because it is a big, sophisticated machine with many parts. ⭕ Several quality control concerns It's difficult to know if this is the result of faulty assembly or Pit Boss's lack of quality control, but many customers have complained about pieces that don't line up, improper seals, and variable temperature. 4. Best combo grill: Smoke Hollow 4-in-1 LP Gas Charcoal Smoker Searing BBQ Grill Model PS9900 Combo grills are typically described as combining a charcoal grill and a gas grill. It's not the same with Smoke Hollow. A remarkable FOUR different forms of barbecue are combined in this unit: propane, charcoal, smoker, and infrared searing burner. The cooking area on this amazing barbecue is a whopping 860 square inches. 30,000 BTUs of power are spread out over this vast area. The infrared burner is a wonderful enhancement. Although side burners are frequently found on gas grills, this one is ceramic, as is typical of high-end infrared grill models. Ceramic is an excellent heat-distribution material, so you can adequately heat food while using less energy or heat leakage. In order to assure durability, it also includes cast iron grates on both the charcoal and propane grill elements. Additionally, it has temperature gauges. It weighs 168 pounds, which makes it heavy but portable. It features top and bottom dampers, much like any decent smoker, so you can properly experiment with BBQ smoking techniques. Reason to buy: ✅ Incredibly adaptable, having an integrated infrared searing burner ✅ Sufficient grilling area ✅ Easy to put together, especially given the size Reason to avoid: ⭕ Uncertain design ⭕ Smoker boxes may be picky. ⭕ If not properly covered and stored, rusts easily.

Best compact combo: Char-Broil Gas2Coal 3-Burner Liquid Propane and Charcoal Hybrid Grill With 540 square inches of cooking space, this Char Broil combo grill is on the lesser side of the spectrum. It is significantly smaller than other types of combo grills since it consolidates its charcoal and gas capabilities into a single grill. While the Char Broil offers excellent gas and charcoal grilling, this does not imply subpar performance. Its amazing 40,000 BTU output for its propane element is spread over 3 burners. These are placed beneath cast iron grates, which means that very little of the heat generated by them is lost and is effectively dispersed around the surface of your grill. You place a tray, which serves as the grill's charcoal element, beneath the grates. Simply deposit your coals in this tray, then put it back into the grill. It could not be any easier and takes hardly any time. Customer Reviews The tray simply tucks away into a compartment on the side of the grill when not in use. Then, it also has a side burner, which by itself has a BTU output of roughly 12,000. I like how this is separate from the gas and charcoal elements; if you want to cook over charcoal slowly and then quickly sear it, Char Broil has made this very simple for you. Reason to buy: ✅ Streamlined and light design ✅ Simple to switch from gas to charcoal ✅ Side heater and a functional shelf ✅ Built-in gas and charcoal storage Reason to avoid: ⭕ Reduced total cooking surface. 6. Best value: Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe's Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo The Oklahoma Joe's Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo might be what you need if you're seeking for a single multi-fuel grill to handle practically all of your cooking demands. This monster combines a 3-burner gas grill, a classic charcoal grill, and an offset smoker so you can cook everything without having to clutter up your backyard with a BBQ joint's worth of equipment. Because the charcoal and gas cooking surfaces are positioned side by side, assembling a two-zone cooking setup is incredibly simple. Three 12,000 BTU burners on the gas side provide 36,000 BTUs of heat, and there is also a side burner. Because of the offset firebox, the charcoal side also functions as a smoker. You can place the charcoal in the offset chamber and use the numerous dampers on either side of the firebox and smoking chamber to distribute the heat and smoke evenly over the meal without directly heating it. Or, for more conventional grilling, just add charcoal to the main chamber. Customer Reviews Although the Charcoal/LP Gas/Smoker Combo is made of strong gauge steel, it is not stainless, thus if you intend to leave it outside, it is better to get a cover. Both the cooking chambers and the firebox contain six cooking grates totaling 1,060 square inches of cooking surface, lid-mounted temperature gauges, and cool-touch steel handles. sufficient for a sizable cookout. Reason to buy: ✅ The grill serves as a smoker and lets you cook with gas and charcoal. ✅ The grill includes side burner temperature ✅ Handles with a cool feel Reason to avoid: ⭕ Heavyweight ⭕ Expensive Read more: Best Extra Large Charcoal Grills Conclusion After conducting research and testing several gas charcoal combo grills, our findings show that the best gas charcoal combo grill is the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center. This grill offers the convenience of a gas grill and the flavor of a charcoal grill, with a large cooking area, versatile cooking options, and high-quality construction. It features a gas ignition system that makes it easy to light the charcoal quickly and efficiently, as well as a built-in charcoal bin that allows for easy disposal of ash and debris. In addition, the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center comes with several other useful features, including a removable LCD timer, a built-in rotisserie system, and a built-in smoker box. It also has a durable, porcelain-enameled finish that resists rust and corrosion, making it a long-lasting investment for any outdoor cooking enthusiast. While the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center is a high-end option, it offers excellent value for its price, and its performance and features make it the top choice for anyone looking for a gas charcoal combo grill that can handle all their grilling and smoking needs.
