Char-Broil is one of the most important grill brands in the United States. The company appeared in the 1940s and produced the first cast-iron coal grill, which was very popular. Char-broil began selling their first gas grills in the 1960s, and now they are one of the world leaders in this market.
The company settled in the United States, but now has production in China. And this is one of the answers why it is so affordable. Another thing is that Char Broil uses not expensive steel in its grills, unfortunately, this affects not only the price, but also its durability. The approximate lifetime of Char Broil, if you use it very often, is about 5-7 years.
