463251012 specifications

The Char-Broil 463251012 is a popular choice among outdoor cooking enthusiasts seeking a reliable and versatile gas grill. This model is well-regarded for its combination of performance, durability, and user-friendly features that enhance the grilling experience.

One of the standout features of the Char-Broil 463251012 is its four burners, which provide a total output of 36,000 BTUs. This substantial heating power ensures that the grill can quickly reach high temperatures, making it ideal for searing meats and cooking a variety of dishes. Each burner can be independently controlled, allowing for multi-zone cooking; this means you can simultaneously grill steaks over high heat while slowly roasting vegetables at a lower temperature.

The grill is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The main cooking surface is 425 square inches, providing plenty of space for cooking everything from burgers to veggies. There is also a 150-square-inch swing-away warming rack, which is perfect for keeping cooked food warm or toasting buns without direct heat.

One advanced technology featured in the Char-Broil 463251012 is its TRU-Infrared cooking system. This innovative design uses infrared heat to cook food more evenly and retain moisture, resulting in juicier meals. The system reduces the risk of flare-ups that can occur with traditional grilling methods, making it easier to cook various foods without the worry of charring or drying them out.

Furthermore, the grill comes equipped with a built-in temperature gauge, allowing users to monitor cooking temperatures without having to lift the lid frequently. This feature helps retain heat and improve cooking efficiency.

The Char-Broil 463251012 also includes other thoughtful characteristics, such as side shelves for added preparation space and utensil hooks for easy access to grilling tools. Its compact design makes it suitable for various outdoor spaces, whether it's a large backyard or a small patio.

In conclusion, the Char-Broil 463251012 is a well-equipped gas grill that combines powerful performance, innovative technology, and user-friendly features. Whether you are an experienced griller or a newcomer, this grill provides everything you need for a successful outdoor cooking experience. Its reliable construction and versatile capabilities make it a significant investment for those who love to barbecue.
