Revolutionary Self-Cleaning BBQ | Char-broil Smart E Review
/Once again Charbroil has given me a licence to grill. Over the years I've looked Char-broils smokers, portable hybrids, professional gas grills, gas to coal grills…and they're all top notch when it comes to quality & they all shared the patented tru infrared technology.
The only downside to all of them and this applys pretty much to all BBQs from any brand…it's aftermath. The carnage when it comes to cleaning them. The truth is once the BBQ is said and done nobody's volunteering to do that.
What are we cavemen, surely we can figure out a solution for this problem in 2023 going into 2024. I mean you can get a smartphone with a shaver built in.
Well, Charbroil have come up a solution & maybe the next revolution in BBQ tech. They call it the Charbroil Smart E all electric self cleaning Tru Infrared BBQ. Yes I said self cleaning & Whats that I hear you say? What is this Tru Infrared technology you speak of? We will come back to that in a moment.
Design
If Tesla made a BBQ it may look a little like this. The Smart E has an angular design. There's a door at the front for storing utensils and food. There is access from the back so if you have a cat be aware of that.
There is an air vent grill for air flow. The sides are collapsible for a smaller footprint when it's time to hibernate.
The lid is fully metal and has a good weight to it. The handle is solid metal with a texture grip on the right side. So that you don't get caught slipping. And see this logo. You know what time it is Prendelo.
Now let me show you what you'll be working with if you get a Smart E BBQ. two thirds of cooking surface consists of a classic grill. If you grill fatty food here you can create intentional flare ups if you want the flame grilled finish.
On the right side is the Tru-Infrared section. The Tru-Infrared patented tech is essentially a method of dispersing the heat evenly across the cooking surface. And prevents flare ups. It's consists of heat emitting layer stainless steel grate on top.
One of the advantages that this brings to the table is that it can turn the temperature to the maximum and get a good even sear on your food. And now let me show you the user interface. because that's essentially what this is. This futuristic dial is the doorway to BBQ precision.
The temperature can be set anywhere between 90 and 370 degrees. And when you adjust the temperature you'll see the current temperature and the target temperature. And the LED backlight will guide you even at night.
How It Works
From my experience using the Charbroil Smart E I can tell you that if you want consistent high temperatures you have to keep the lid closed the majority of the time. If you're going to cook with the hood up you need to ramp up the temperature to compensate for the cool air.
Now I know what you're thinking. If there's no coal or wood involved this is just kind of like cooking indoors. Well, if you get the Charbroil baking tray and rack you can smoke your meat with digital precision. And they great thing about this method is that is minimises the mess.
Now let's talk about the game changer. The self cleaning functionality. When it's time to call it a wrap. No need to roll up sleeves. All you need to do is hit the button and the Smart E's LEDs turn orange and it will incinerate anything burnt onto the grate. And that's it you can walk away and let it do the hard work for. It will auto shutdown once the cleaning cycle is complete.
And the next day all you need to do is brush off the flakes, with the provided brush & give it a wipe down and good to go again. Prendelo. That means light it up. Q
