Along with the myriad of grill types that you can choose from today, one of the top favorites is the Gas and Charcoal Hybrid, or combination grill.

Today we will look at some of the best brands and models in Gas and Charcoal Hybrid grill that you can get.

What Exactly is a Hybrid Grill?

Generally, a Hybrid Grill also called a Combination or Dual Fuel Grill, is a Grill that uses Gas as well as Charcoal as fuel Source.

You get the best of both worlds in one Grill, where you have the cheaper Charcoal grill that gives a lovely smoky flavor, and the easy and mess-free Gas grill that ignites with a button and produces no smoke or ash.

You may be wondering how and if a Grill can be a Charcoal and Gas combo, and yes, these grills are designed specifically for that purpose and are fully functional as both a Gas or Charcoal Grill with all the trimmings needed.

Pros and Cons of the Gas/Charcoal Hybrid Grill

So why choose the Gas and Charcoal Hybrid Grill in the first place?

Let us look at some pros and cons;

Time – If you are a hurry, you can just push the ignition button on your gas grill and start grilling, quickly and easily. Whereas when you have time on your hands and want that delicious smoky flavor, you can use your charcoal grill option. Or you can use the Gas side for those who want their meals out fast, and the Charcoal option for those who want to wait for their meal.
More Cooking Options – You can cook using a variety of Grilling and cooking methods, and many Hybrid Grills also offer additional extras such as a rotisserie and rack for vegetable grilling. You also have the option of using different fuel types of your choice.
Saving Space – Having both a Gas and Charcoal grill can take up quite a lot of space and can be time-consuming, having to clean two grills and take out whichever one you need. Having both options in one Grill cuts down on space and time.
Cost Effective – It is much more cost-effective to have one dual Grill that is a Charcoal and Gas grill in one, rather than purchasing a separate Charcoal grill and a separate Gas Grill.
Large Cooking Space – Because the Hubrid Charcoal and Gas grill have a larger design, the cooking space, or spaces are larger, and you can cook larger amounts of food at a time.
The Cons – A Hybrid or combination Charcoal and Gas grill is usually quite a large item and can only be used outdoors for the Charcoal Function. This type of Grill needs to be a good quality, which means that it will most likely be quite expensive.
