CHAR-BROIL NEW FOR 2026
The first hybrid electric2coal BBQ: Powerful, Versatile, Compact, ideal for smaller outdoor spaces
Hybrid BBQ grill leader Char-Broil launches the UK’s first hybrid electric/coal BBQ: Patio Bistro E2Coal. This compact and space saving grill helps urban dwellers get the most from smaller outdoor spaces.
Designed for modern city living where smaller gardens, courtyards and balconies are common, the versatile barbecue may be small in stature, but delivers outstanding, flavoursome results thanks to the Char-Broil’s renowned TRU-Infrared™ technology which evenly distributes heat whilst you cook, ensuring food stays up to 50% lip-smackingly juicier as a result.
Its innovative Hybrid Power Technology also lets you switch effortlessly between electric or traditional charcoal-fired cooking for maximum flavour flexibility.
Fast convenient E-power for maximum performance
Simply plug in and switch on the electric grill. Reaching 315°C within 20 minutes and a maximum temperature of 370°C, the compact electric grill heats up fast and delivers that authentic seared flavour every time. The electric power is perfect for fast, intense grilling sessions, so no long waiting times, just great ‘instant’ barbecue moments.
Electric to charcoal in just a few, simple steps
With the Patio Bistro E2Coal you can opt for quick electric grilling or choose a slower traditional charcoal cook, giving you the best of both worlds. Whichever you choose, it’s easy to transform your electric BBQ to a charcoal grill in just a few simple steps, and no tools are required.
Simply place charcoal on the dedicated grate, reinsert the cooking grate at mark ‘C’, and you’re ready to light the charcoal easily using the electric heating element.
Barbecue juicier than ever with TRU-Infrared™ Technology
Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared™ Technology is the key to achieving succulent barbecue foods. A specially designed stainless-steel grate distributes the heat evenly across the entire cooking surface minimising food residues dripping onto the heating elements that can create unwanted flare-ups that can burn, taint and dry out your barbecue food. The result of this efficient technology is barbecued food that's up to 50% juicier. Even better, this technology also helps reduce energy consumption.
You can also transform your Patio Bistro E2Coal BBQ into an electric griddle in seconds by purchasing the optional griddle plate (sold separately).
A removable warming rack keeps your food hot, toasts bread or provides an indirect cooking zone for more delicate dishes. Barbecue cooking is best done with the lid down to retain heat, reduce cooking times, and it also helps keep food hot on the warming rack away whilst you complete your meal.
That’s why Char-Broil has integrated an easy-to-read analogue temperature gauge into the lid to help you monitor the perfect temperature at all times, ensuring tender, juicy results, every time you cook.
With a helpful three-metre power cord, you have the freedom to reach indoor and outdoor sockets, and the two sturdy wheels and side handles make it easy to manoeuvre the BBQ to exactly where you need it.
Everything within reach
Like Dr Who’s Tardis, the Patio Bistro E2Coal has unbelievable storage capacity to keep everything organised in its built in storage space. The middle shelf includes a dedicated griddle storage rail, whilst a lower shelf offers space to store charcoal tools. Two integrated tool hooks keep everything you need always within reach.
Where to buy
Available from John Lewis, Argos, Next, B&Q and Amazon, the Char-Broil Patio Bistro E2Coal (RRP: £349.00) is the perfect electric and charcoal hybrid BBQ for city living. Powerful, durable and easy to use. Accessories include a durable cover (RRP: £39.95) and griddle (RRP: £39.95).
ALSO AVAILABLE for the smallest of homes and outdoor spaces
Patio Bistro E2Coal has a lightweight and portable electricity powered brother, the new Char-Broil Patio Bistro Cube E. Perfect for cooking for 2-3 people, the Cube E has a smaller 38.4cm stainless steel grate and has the same patented TRU-Infrared™ Technology to ensure smaller doesn’t mean less tasty. The evenly distributed heat across the entire grate, minimises unwanted flare-up and ensures that your barbecued food is up to 50% juicier. The efficient technology also helps reduce energy consumption.
Despite its compact size, the Patio Bistro Cube E is robust and impressively powerful. Switch on, keep the lid down, and watch the integrated analogue temperature gauge start to rise. You’re ready to cook in under 20 minutes at 280°C, reaching a maximum of 320°C to deliver that authentic seared flavour every time.
The Cube E design and three metre power cord mean it can stand squarely on the floor of your balcony, patio, or tabletop on your garden or outdoor dining table. Thanks to its compact design, it’s easy to store when not in use.
Where to buy
Available from John Lewis, Argos, Next, B&Q and Amazon, the Char-Broil Patio Bistro Cube E (RRP: £229.00) is the perfect electric BBQ for city living and balconies. Powerful, durable and easy to use, a durable cover (RRP: £24.95) is available to purchase separately.
