Product review - char-broil cruise grill with cruise control technology (msrp $699).

[FTC Standard Disclosure] I received a Char-Broil Cruise at no cost for review purposes. All opinions are my own. I receive no compensation for this post, nor do I have any other financial arrangements with Char-Broil or their affiliates.

Product Review – Char-Broil Cruise Grill (MSRP $699)

Earlier this year, Char-Broil introduced their newest, game-changing grill – The Char-Broil Cruise . I was lucky enough to receive a Cruise unit from Char-Broil and have put this new grill through real-life cooking for the past few weeks. Here are my thoughts and experience with this new grill.

Tame The Flame, Change The Game

So what makes this grill a game-changer? Until now, gas grill heat controls have been knobs that control the gas flow  at a set rate of consumption. If I set my old gas grill on “medium”, the grill will let the gas flow at that designated rate. That rate of flow doesn’t change regardless of the actual cooking temperature it achieves or factors like ambient temperature or wind.

The Char-Broil Cruise changes this by cooking at a specific set temperature. If I set the grill for 500°f, the Cruise will assess the grill temperature and if it is anything but 500°f, the grill will adjust the gas flow to achieve 500°f and maintain that temperature. No more guessing or adjusting.

L et’s look at the features that I like and the experience I had while cooking some of the typical backyard basics.

Digital Temperature Control and Auto-Calibration

T he ability to set a precise cooking temperature and know that the grill will maintain it gives a cook confidence. This is true from beginning backyard chefs to seasoned pros like me. The Cruise has a thermometer mounted inside the cooking chamber that provides feedback to a processor. The processor controls the two-burner tubes to maintain the set temperature.

Amplifire Infrared Grill System

Amplifire is Char-Broil’s infrared cooking system that:

  • significantly reduces flare-ups,
  • provides more even heat across the grill surface, and
  • yields juicier food.

I previously enjoyed using this same system on the Char-Broil Commercial grill for year s when it was known as TRU-Infrared technology. This system uses a stainless steel emitter plate to convert flame to infrared heat. Infrared heat cooks the food without drying it out compared to traditional gas grills that cook mostly with hot air, which dries the surface of the food.

Auto-Clean Function

A practical and common way to clean your grill after use is to finish with a high-temperature burn to incinerate any stuck-on food debris. The Cruise has an Auto-Clean mode that ramps the temp up to 600°f for a 30-minute countdown and then automatically shuts down. I find that quite useful because I have accidentally forgotten about a grill in burn mode and left it running for hours. 

Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Grates

The porcelain-coated cast-iron grates can provide exceptional heat transfer, which means good sear marks. I prefer plain cast-iron, but those require more care and upkeep than these porcelain coated grates. That doesn’t mean you can abuse the porcelain grates, porcelain can crack.

Stainless Steel

I prefer grills with a lot of stainless steel  because it looks great and makes clean up easier. The Cruise uses stainless steel for its front-facing trim and lid. The side shelves, side panels, and rear panels are painted.

Shelf Space

The grill has twin 19 ¾” x 12 ½” shelves which come in handy while cooking. I liked the shelves on the Commercial grill better because they were all stainless, which is more resistant to scratches.

Digital Display with Lighted Indicator System

The Cruise has a digital display that is easy to read from up to 20 feet away. I don’t even have to go outside to check on it. The color-shifting light-ring around the dial gives you “at a glance” information about whether the grill is at temp, coming up to temp, auto-cleaning, or if there is an error.

char broil cruise auto clean

Stylish Hood with Glass Viewing Pane

The hood has a glass front that lets you see the food without opening the lid, because as the saying goes, “If you’re looking, then you aren’t cooking.”

Battery Back-Up

The trick with grills that require electricity is what happens if the power goes out. The Cruise boasts a backup power supply that houses 4 d-cell batteries, so if the power flickers or goes out entirely, your cook won’t be affected for up to 2 hours. 

No WiFi, No Problem

This unit is NOT a smart grill that requires connecting to a smartphone via an app . The intelligence is all on board; no mobile phone is needed.

The Cruise is backed up with a 10-year warranty on the burners, 3 years on the lid, firebox, and emitter plates, and 1 year on everything else.

Performance

For testing, I have used the Cruise for a little over a month, burning through one tank of propane. I grilled the classics, such as steaks, chicken, burgers, and wings. I cooked in varying weather conditions, including cold temperatures, rain, snow, and strong winds. I cooked using various cooking temps and setups.

Assembly was fairly easy. I put the grill together by myself in just over 1 hour and I didn’t swear an unreasonable amount of times (haha).

Cooks on the Char-Broil Cruise

Bacon cheeseburgers, chicken blt sandwich, chicken teriyaki, steak fajita burritos, what it does well.

  • Precision Heat Control – My experience has been that the Cruise Control Technology works and I quickly trusted the grill. When I set a temp, the grill controls the cooking temperature at that temp even in less than ideal weather.
  • Infrared Heat - I remain a fan of the Amplifier infrared system, it cooks hot and evenly. If I’m going to use a gas grill, I prefer one with a system like this . It is quite similar to the GrillGrates that I and many steak cook-off competitors have used for years.
  • Direct Heat Grilling – It is easy peasy to grill on this thing. Plenty of heat, no flare-ups, nice grill marks, and it handles the weather while cooking. The range of 350°f to 700°f handles all but low and slow smoking. The MAX setting is useful for searing, such as; sous vide and reverse searing. 

Limitations

  • No two-zone fire or indirect heat options – As mentioned in the review,   The Cruise can’t do two-zone or traditional indirect cooking because there is only one temp control for the entire grill. The Cruise’s solution is to put the warming or roasting rack in the lower position so food isn’t in direct contact with the grates. This worked reasonably well enoug h b ut that rack is only about 4.5” x 23.5”, limiting the amount you can cook. If I was using this grill often for indirect heat, I would find a larger grate (about 16” x 23”) and use nuts and bolts to create 1.5” legs to raise it up.
  • No side burner – One of the advantages of owning a gas grill is having a side burner since virtually no charcoal grills have one. At this price point, I would expect to see a side burner on the Cruise.

I have often said that the Char-Broil Commercial grill was my favorite grill from a big-box store but  with its precise temperature control, the new Char-Broil Cruise gives it a run for its money.

Product Review - Char-Broil Cruise Grill with Cruise Control Technology (MSRP $699)

April 09, 2022

[FTC Standard Disclosure] I received a Char-Broil Cruise at no cost for review purposes. All opinions are my own. I receive no compensation for this post, nor do I have any other financial arrangements with Char-Broil or their affiliates.

Product Review – Char-Broil Cruise Grill (MSRP $699)

Earlier this year, Char-Broil introduced their newest, game-changing grill – The Char-Broil Cruise . I was lucky enough to receive a Cruise unit from Char-Broil and have put this new grill through real-life cooking for the past few weeks. Here are my thoughts and experience with this new grill.

Tame The Flame, Change The Game

So what makes this grill a game-changer? Until now, gas grill heat controls have been knobs that control the gas flow  at a set rate of consumption. If I set my old gas grill on “medium”, the grill will let the gas flow at that designated rate. That rate of flow doesn’t change regardless of the actual cooking temperature it achieves or factors like ambient temperature or wind.

The Char-Broil Cruise changes this by cooking at a specific set temperature. If I set the grill for 500°f, the Cruise will assess the grill temperature and if it is anything but 500°f, the grill will adjust the gas flow to achieve 500°f and maintain that temperature. No more guessing or adjusting.

L et’s look at the features that I like and the experience I had while cooking some of the typical backyard basics.

Digital Temperature Control and Auto-Calibration

T he ability to set a precise cooking temperature and know that the grill will maintain it gives a cook confidence. This is true from beginning backyard chefs to seasoned pros like me. The Cruise has a thermometer mounted inside the cooking chamber that provides feedback to a processor. The processor controls the two-burner tubes to maintain the set temperature.

Amplifire Infrared Grill System

Amplifire is Char-Broil’s infrared cooking system that:

  • significantly reduces flare-ups,
  • provides more even heat across the grill surface, and
  • yields juicier food.

I previously enjoyed using this same system on the Char-Broil Commercial grill for year s when it was known as TRU-Infrared technology. This system uses a stainless steel emitter plate to convert flame to infrared heat. Infrared heat cooks the food without drying it out compared to traditional gas grills that cook mostly with hot air, which dries the surface of the food.

Auto-Clean Function

A practical and common way to clean your grill after use is to finish with a high-temperature burn to incinerate any stuck-on food debris. The Cruise has an Auto-Clean mode that ramps the temp up to 600°f for a 30-minute countdown and then automatically shuts down. I find that quite useful because I have accidentally forgotten about a grill in burn mode and left it running for hours. 

Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Grates

The porcelain-coated cast-iron grates can provide exceptional heat transfer, which means good sear marks. I prefer plain cast-iron, but those require more care and upkeep than these porcelain coated grates. That doesn’t mean you can abuse the porcelain grates, porcelain can crack.

Stainless Steel

I prefer grills with a lot of stainless steel  because it looks great and makes clean up easier. The Cruise uses stainless steel for its front-facing trim and lid. The side shelves, side panels, and rear panels are painted.

Shelf Space

The grill has twin 19 ¾” x 12 ½” shelves which come in handy while cooking. I liked the shelves on the Commercial grill better because they were all stainless, which is more resistant to scratches.

Digital Display with Lighted Indicator System

The Cruise has a digital display that is easy to read from up to 20 feet away. I don’t even have to go outside to check on it. The color-shifting light-ring around the dial gives you “at a glance” information about whether the grill is at temp, coming up to temp, auto-cleaning, or if there is an error.

char broil cruise auto clean

Stylish Hood with Glass Viewing Pane

The hood has a glass front that lets you see the food without opening the lid, because as the saying goes, “If you’re looking, then you aren’t cooking.”

Battery Back-Up

The trick with grills that require electricity is what happens if the power goes out. The Cruise boasts a backup power supply that houses 4 d-cell batteries, so if the power flickers or goes out entirely, your cook won’t be affected for up to 2 hours. 

No WiFi, No Problem

This unit is NOT a smart grill that requires connecting to a smartphone via an app . The intelligence is all on board; no mobile phone is needed.

The Cruise is backed up with a 10-year warranty on the burners, 3 years on the lid, firebox, and emitter plates, and 1 year on everything else.

Performance

For testing, I have used the Cruise for a little over a month, burning through one tank of propane. I grilled the classics, such as steaks, chicken, burgers, and wings. I cooked in varying weather conditions, including cold temperatures, rain, snow, and strong winds. I cooked using various cooking temps and setups.

Assembly was fairly easy. I put the grill together by myself in just over 1 hour and I didn’t swear an unreasonable amount of times (haha).

Cooks on the Char-Broil Cruise

Bacon cheeseburgers, chicken blt sandwich, chicken teriyaki, steak fajita burritos, what it does well.

  • Precision Heat Control – My experience has been that the Cruise Control Technology works and I quickly trusted the grill. When I set a temp, the grill controls the cooking temperature at that temp even in less than ideal weather.
  • Infrared Heat - I remain a fan of the Amplifier infrared system, it cooks hot and evenly. If I’m going to use a gas grill, I prefer one with a system like this . It is quite similar to the GrillGrates that I and many steak cook-off competitors have used for years.
  • Direct Heat Grilling – It is easy peasy to grill on this thing. Plenty of heat, no flare-ups, nice grill marks, and it handles the weather while cooking. The range of 350°f to 700°f handles all but low and slow smoking. The MAX setting is useful for searing, such as; sous vide and reverse searing. 

Limitations

  • No two-zone fire or indirect heat options – As mentioned in the review,   The Cruise can’t do two-zone or traditional indirect cooking because there is only one temp control for the entire grill. The Cruise’s solution is to put the warming or roasting rack in the lower position so food isn’t in direct contact with the grates. This worked reasonably well enoug h b ut that rack is only about 4.5” x 23.5”, limiting the amount you can cook. If I was using this grill often for indirect heat, I would find a larger grate (about 16” x 23”) and use nuts and bolts to create 1.5” legs to raise it up.
  • No side burner – One of the advantages of owning a gas grill is having a side burner since virtually no charcoal grills have one. At this price point, I would expect to see a side burner on the Cruise.

I have often said that the Char-Broil Commercial grill was my favorite grill from a big-box store but  with its precise temperature control, the new Char-Broil Cruise gives it a run for its money.

Char-Broil Brings Cruise Control to Gas Grilling

In BBQ by Mark Masker 12/14/2021 Leave a Comment

Email this to someone

For over seven decades, Char-Broil has been one of the most trusted names in outdoor cooking by offering products that make grilling enjoyable for everyone, no matter their skill level. Now, Char-Broil welcomes grillers to new concept in gas grilling with the Char-Broil Cruise Gas Grill. They say it’s the first gas grill that can set and maintain a cooking temperature from start to finish.

It features Cruise Control Technology which sets and maintains a cooking temperature from start to finish using a single the digital control dial. The grill’s built-in auto-calibration keeps the heat consistent as you cook.

In addition to total temperature control, the Cruise gas grill also features:

  • Auto Clean Mode: Allegedly, with the push of a button, the Cruise gas grill does the dirty work — cleaning your grill after every session with auto shut-off once the job is done. How it does this was not readily apparent from the press release. Perhaps a gnome living inside it? Or maybe it’s self-cleaning in the same way your kitchen oven is. That makes more sense but the gnome idea is more fun.
  • Real-Time Status Indicators: The digital control dial features color-coded rings that display your grill’s status during use.
  • MAX Heat: The Cruise gas grill delivers a high temperature range with a MAX Mode capable of delivering 700+ degrees of heat across 540 square inches of cooking space for steakhouse-quality searing (or destroying Sauron’s ring).
  • Safety, Built-In: The Cruise gas grill is equipped with a built-in flame sensor that will turn the grill off if it does not ignite within a certain time or if at any point during cooking the flame goes out.
  • Amplifire Cooking System: The Cruise gas grill features the patented Amplifire cooking system that prevents flare-ups.

The Cruise gas grill will be available in early Spring 2022 as a Lowe’s Home Improvement exclusive. Visit the maker’s website for more products.

Thank you! Please keep reading.

In this article:

Importance of Regular Cleaning

Cleaning your Char-Broil gas grill is essential to maintaining its performance and extending its lifespan. Over time, grease, food residue, and other debris can accumulate on the grill grates and burners, leading to uneven heating and potential flare-ups. Regular cleaning also helps to prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria and mold, ensuring that your food is safe to eat. By following a few simple steps, you can keep your Char-Broil gas grill in top condition and enjoy delicious, perfectly cooked meals every time.

Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin cleaning your Char-Broil gas grill, gather all the necessary supplies. You will need a wire grill brush, a grill scraper, a bucket of warm, soapy water, a sponge or cloth, and a pair of rubber gloves. Additionally, you may want to have some stainless steel cleaner on hand for stubborn stains or residue. Having all your supplies within reach will make the cleaning process more efficient and ensure that you don’t overlook any important steps.

Cleaning the Grill Grates

Start by preheating your grill to a high temperature for 10-15 minutes. This will help to loosen any stuck-on residue, making it easier to remove. Once the grill is hot, use the wire grill brush to scrub the grates, removing any debris and buildup. For stubborn residue, you can also use a grill scraper to dislodge the debris. After scrubbing the grates, dip a sponge or cloth in the warm, soapy water and wipe them down to remove any remaining grease or residue. Rinse the grates with clean water and dry them thoroughly before reassembling them in the grill.

Cleaning the Burners

Next, you’ll need to clean the burners of your Char-Broil gas grill. Remove the grates and heat shields to access the burners. Use the wire brush to clean the outside of the burners, removing any debris that has built up. Then, carefully remove the burners and inspect them for any clogs or blockages. If necessary, use a small wire brush or a paper clip to gently clear any obstructions. Once the burners are clean, reassemble them and replace the grates and heat shields.

Cleaning the Exterior

Don’t forget to clean the exterior of your Char-Broil gas grill as well. Use a mild detergent and water to wipe down the outside of the grill, removing any grease, dirt, or fingerprints. For stainless steel grills, you can use a stainless steel cleaner to restore the shine and luster of the metal. Be sure to dry the exterior thoroughly to prevent water spots or streaks from forming.

Maintaining Your Grill

In addition to regular cleaning, it’s important to perform routine maintenance on your Char-Broil gas grill. This includes checking for gas leaks, inspecting the hoses and connections, and replacing any worn or damaged parts. By keeping your grill in good working order, you can ensure that it continues to perform at its best and provide you with many years of delicious outdoor cooking.

How often should I clean my Char-Broil gas grill?

It’s recommended to clean your grill after every use, or at least once a month during the grilling season. Regular cleaning helps to prevent the buildup of grease and debris, which can affect the performance and flavor of your food.

Can I use oven cleaner on my grill grates?

It’s not recommended to use oven cleaner on grill grates, as the chemicals can be harmful if not thoroughly rinsed off. Instead, use a wire grill brush and warm, soapy water to clean the grates.

What is the best way to remove stubborn stains from the grill grates?

For stubborn stains, you can create a paste using baking soda and water, and apply it to the grates. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub with a wire brush and rinse thoroughly.

Should I oil the grill grates after cleaning?

After cleaning and drying the grates, you can lightly coat them with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking. Be sure to heat the grill for a few minutes before adding food to create a non-stick surface.

Can I clean the burners with water?

It’s best to avoid using water directly on the burners, as this can lead to rust and corrosion. Instead, use a wire brush or scraper to remove debris, and wipe down the burners with a dry cloth.

Are there any safety precautions I should take when cleaning my gas grill?

When cleaning your gas grill, be sure to follow all safety precautions provided by the manufacturer. This may include turning off the gas supply, disconnecting the propane tank, and allowing the grill to cool before cleaning.

How do I prevent rust on my Char-Broil gas grill?

To prevent rust, it’s important to keep your grill clean and dry, especially when not in use. Store it in a covered area or use a grill cover to protect it from the elements.

Should I clean the interior of the grill as well?

Yes, it’s important to clean the interior of the grill, including the heat shields and grease tray. This helps to prevent flare-ups and ensures that your grill continues to operate efficiently.

Can I use a pressure washer to clean my gas grill?

It’s not recommended to use a pressure washer on your gas grill, as the high pressure can damage the components and push debris into sensitive areas. Stick to using a wire brush and soapy water for cleaning.

How do I know when it’s time to replace the grill grates?

If the grates are heavily rusted, warped, or have significant damage, it may be time to replace them. Check for replacement parts specific to your Char-Broil grill model.

What should I do if I encounter problems while cleaning my grill?

If you encounter any technical issues or difficulties while cleaning your Char-Broil gas grill, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting tips and contact the manufacturer for support if needed.

Char-Broil Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Charbroil Review

This Char-Broil review wanted to do its duty – that meant searching through customer reports and ratings to find those honest opinions we all rely on. Luckily, this name appears quite a few locations online, so we were able to read into the ratings all we wanted.

The easiest place to find reviews came from the brand site itself. Listed by product, customers seem to adore the quality that this brand offers . 

The 4-Burner Gas Griddle alone has 4.6/5 stars based on over 45 ratings. While this isn’t the most popular product online, it does still sit comfortably with customers fawning over the ease of use and endless features.

We’ve done a lot of research on this one, and we aren’t the only ones. We’ll let this Char-Broil review take it from here: 

“ this is the only one that I found that lets you level the grill top . Also, the grease catcher is located perfectly and there is NO dripping! ” Keeping things clean, shining, and safe, this griddle aims to provide the perfect platform for cooking in any season.

“ The product is made of great material and doesn’t seem cheap . Easy to connect your propane tank. The knobs are smooth to turn and the fire itself was all across even on each of their own burners. The clean up was simple and smooth. The grease collector tray is a great feature. ”

This brand seems to be fairly confident in the work they produce. We’re not going to argue with a business producing items that ease the complexity of grilling into manageable steps that any griller can master. 

Built to last, these products offer convenience, dispersed heat, and above all else, the crispy edges that every BBQ party craves.

We will say that reviews from online platforms don’t appear in the hundreds, so it’s good to keep in mind that any ratings from lower numbers don’t necessarily reflect the overall customer base.

However, even with low numbers, this brand still managed to achieve 3.8/5 stars based on over 75 ratings on Consumer Affairs.

We’ll admit, the reviews about this product really speak to its durability and quality. 

One Char-Broil review even admits to having had the grill for “ at least 10 years so I highly recommend this brand and this company. Everything still works like new , including four burners for grilling and a fifth burner on the right hand side for boiling an extra pot and the thermostat on the hood. ”

The same reviewer went on to say “ This company’s customer service has always been very helpful and I highly recommend them! ” noting that not only does this brand offer quality products, but also top-tier customer service. 

With notes like that, it’s no wonder this business managed an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

We do want to take a look at some higher numbers though, so we turned to Amazon for individual product ratings. We were far from disappointed. 

The Char-Broil 17102065 Big Easy Oil-Less Liquid Propane Turkey Fryer currently holds 4.7/5 stars based on over 4,660 and that’s not even the most popular Char-Broil product on this platform.

“ I’ve cooked a variety of meats in this cooker, from ribs, pork roasts and chickens to moose roasts. It does a great job on all of them and when I use a meat thermometer with it everything is cooked just how we like it. The cleanup only takes a few minutes , that’s a big selling point for me. ”
