Why does my Char-Broil Grill have flare-ups?
- A
  Amanda HillAug 3, 2025
  If you're experiencing flare-ups with your Char-Broil Grill, it could be due to several factors. Excess fat in the meat is a common cause, so trim the fat before grilling. Also, ensure you preheat the grill for 15-20 minutes and increase the controller setting if the temperature is too low. If the cooking temperature is too high, adjust it accordingly. Lastly, grease buildup can cause flare-ups, so make sure to clean your grill regularly.

What to do if Char-Broil Grill circuit breaker trips?
- J
  Judith StewartAug 10, 2025
  If your Char-Broil Grill's circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows, start by checking for tripped household circuit breakers or a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI). Reset or replace them if necessary. Next, try plugging a known, working appliance into the outlet to rule out any issues with the outlet itself. You might also want to try a different outlet, preferably on a different circuit. Avoid using other electrical appliances on the same circuit to prevent overloading it.

  If you have a persistent grease fire in your Char-Broil Grill, turn the controller knob to the OFF position. Keep the lid closed and allow the fire to burn out completely. Once the grill has cooled down, clean the insulation bowl. Do not apply water to the fire, as personal injury may result.
