The Bottom Line
Can't decide whether you want a gas or a charcoal grill? Well a number of stores and grill makers think you have this problem and have come up with the perfect solution, they have welded a gas grill to a charcoal grill. What you get with this unit is two basic grills in one.
Unlike all the other grills in this category the Kenmore (sometimes labeled Nexgrill) doesn't have a side burner. It looks like an impressive unit but the question you have to ask yourself is, do you want a pair of mediocre grills dropped into a single cart or would you prefer separate units?

- Charcoal and Gas in one unit

- Difficult assembly

Guide Review - Nexgrill 3-Burner Charcoal/Gas Combo Model# 720-0718
This is Nexgrill's entry into the gas/charcoal hybrid grill market. Selling for around $300USD this combo grill is the same price as similar units at Home Depot and Lowes, though those have side burners. In the last couple of years the gas/charcoal combination grill has become a popular item.
I know that there are people who would think that this is the answer to all your problems. You have a gas grill you can fire up after you get home from work at night, and a charcoal grill you can light for the weekend cookout. The question is, do you want all that in a single unit. If part of the grill fails, you end up with 5 1/2 feet of grill that is only partially useful.
