The Bad

Heat loss

So you have to minimize the frequency with which you open up the lid. This is the greatest drawback of this Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Patio Bistro Electric Grill.

Lacks inbuilt timer

Even though this char-broil has the lid mounted heat gauge, it lacks an inbuilt timer. Thus if you need a timer you’ll have to source one at an extra cost.
