Charbroil Big Easy TRU-Infrared 3-in-1 Smoker Roaster & Gas Grill, Black — 180 sq in, fits 21 lb turkey

The Charbroil Big Easy TRU-Infrared 3-in-1 Smoker, Roaster & Gas Grill is a versatile countertop gas cooker that smokes, roasts and grills with TRU-Infrared heat for even, juicy results and no flare-ups.

Compact but powerful, the Big Easy combines three cooking modes—infrared grilling, roasting and smoking—into one unit designed for backyard cooks who want full-flavored results without a complicated setup. It features a 180 sq in infrared grate, a smoking and roasting basket large enough for a 21 lb turkey, rotary ignition for quick starts, and a removable grease tray for easy cleaning. The TRU-Infrared system reduces hot spots and flare-ups so meats retain moisture and cook evenly.

How does TRU-Infrared improve grilling and reduce flare-ups?

TRU-Infrared transfers heat through a ceramic or infrared surface rather than direct flame, which minimizes fat drips igniting and creating flare-ups. That means steadier temperatures across the cooking surface and less charring from sudden flames.

• 180 sq in infrared grill grate for even heat distribution
• Reduced hot spots compared with open-flame grills
• Less lost moisture — foods stay juicier during cooking

What foods and portions can I cook in the Big Easy?

The Big Easy is sized to handle whole poultry and family-sized roasts while also working as a compact grill for burgers, steaks and vegetables. Its smoking and roasting basket accommodates poultry up to about 21 lbs, and the grill grate offers enough area for several servings at once.

• Fits up to a 21 lb turkey in the smoking/roasting basket
• Grill grate suitable for multiple steaks, burgers or veg at once
• Versatile for frying-style roasting without added oil

How easy is it to light, operate and clean?

Operation is straightforward: a rotary ignition lights the burner with a quick turn, and dial controls simplify temperature adjustments. After cooking, a removable grease tray captures drips for fast cleanup, and the interior design limits hard-to-reach messes.

• Rotary ignition for simple, rapid start-up
• Removable grease tray for quick disposal of drippings
• Minimal assembly and easy-to-access interior components

Can this replace separate smoker, roaster and grill equipment?

For many home cooks, yes: the Big Easy blends smoking, roasting and infrared grilling into one compact appliance, saving space and cost. It’s especially useful if you want the flavor of smoked or roasted foods without needing several large outdoor units.

• Three cooking methods in one footprint
• Good option for patios, decks or limited outdoor areas
• Eliminates need for multiple single-purpose appliances

Who is this for: The Charbroil Big Easy TRU-Infrared 3-in-1 is aimed at homeowners, apartment balconies or deck users who want full-flavored smoked and roasted meals without complex smokers or large grills. It suits cooks who value even, juicy results, quick ignition and easier cleanup, and those who want a single compact unit that handles family-sized poultry, roasts and everyday grilling.
