      Rachel JohnsonAug 2, 2025
      If your Char-Broil Grill isn't cooking properly, consider these factors: ensure you preheat the grill for 15-20 minutes and that the controller setting is adequate. Excess fat in the meat can hinder proper cooking, so trim it before grilling. Also, be mindful of excessive cooking temperatures and adjust accordingly.
