About Char-Broil
Char-Broil has been making grills since 1948, originally as a charcoal-and-gas manufacturer, and brought their distinctive TRU-Infrared technology to electric in the 2010s. The brand is not trying to build the fanciest electric grill on the market — they are trying to build the one that most closely reproduces the charcoal experience. The dual-fuel Bistro Pro is the clearest expression of that mission.

Is Char-Broil a good brand for electric grills?
Char-Broil is the best brand for grillers who are unwilling to fully give up charcoal flavor but want electric convenience on weeknights. The Bistro Pro Dual Fuel is genuinely unique — no other manufacturer ships a grill that runs on both charcoal and electricity. TRU-Infrared distributes heat more evenly than standard resistance elements, which reduces hot spots and flare-ups. For the charcoal loyalist who wants a backup electric option, Char-Broil is the only real answer.
