Our take on the Char-Broil 28 XL Performance Series Propane Gas Griddle with Cart

The Char-Broil 28 XL Performance Series is a freestanding propane flat-top griddle with a 550-square-inch hot-rolled steel surface and three burners putting out 36,000 BTU. It is built for smash burgers, breakfasts and stir-fries rather than smoke-roasting, and its wind blockers and electronic ignition help it light and hold heat outdoors. Against rival three-burner griddles it offers a large cooking area and a cart at a modest build quality, and owners report uneven spots and seasoning upkeep. It suits backyard cooks who want volume cooking on a flat top and will accept some assembly and care.

Questions and answers

How many burgers fit on the Char-Broil 28 XL griddle?
Char-Broil rates it for about 25 burgers on the 550-square-inch surface. In practice that means two full batches of patties with room to move them.
Does the griddle surface need seasoning?
Yes. The hot-rolled steel ships unoiled and must be coated and heated before first use. Re-oil after each cook and keep it dry to prevent rust.
Is it portable?
No. It is a freestanding cart griddle weighing about 101 lbs. It is meant to stay in one spot on a patio or deck.
How does it compare with a three-burner gas grill?
It gives a flat top for burgers, eggs, pancakes and stir-fry with no flare-ups from dripping fat. It cannot smoke-roast or rotisserie like a lidded grill.
What is included with the griddle?
The griddle top, three-burner body, cart with side shelves and a propane hose and regulator. A tank and cover are not included.
Can I use it on a balcony or under a roof?
Only outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from walls and overhangs. Propane griddles produce carbon monoxide and need open air.
