Char-Broil Professional PRO S 3 is a premium-class gas grill designed for users who want to combine the versatility of a classic three-burner grill with the performance of a professional steak zone.

The configuration is 3+1: three high-performance main burners made of stainless steel and a side ceramic Sear Burner, capable of reaching temperatures up to 900°C. The main cooking surface uses the patented TRU-Infrared™ system, while the food is placed on robust porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates.

The result is an extremely versatile grill: controlled temperature for regular BBQ, indirect cooking for large cuts, and extreme heat when you want to prepare a steak with an intense crust.

🔥 3 main stainless steel burners

Professional PRO S 3 uses three main stainless steel burners, with an official total output of approximately 7.03 kW.

The three burners can be controlled to create different temperature zones.

This allows two important cooking techniques:

Direct cooking – the food is placed above the active burners for burgers, sausages, vegetables, skewers, etc.

Indirect cooking – certain burners are turned off, while the food is placed in the zone without direct flame, practically turning the grill into an outdoor oven.

This makes it possible to prepare whole chicken, ribs, large roasts and other dishes that require a longer cooking time.

🔥 Ceramic Sear Burner – up to 900°C

This is one of the main reasons why Professional PRO S 3 stands apart from a conventional three-burner grill.

A high-performance ceramic burner is positioned on the side, capable of reaching temperatures up to 900°C. Char-Broil designed it specifically for quickly creating an intense crust on meat.

It is ideal for:

🥩 Ribeye
🥩 T-Bone
🥩 Tomahawk
🥩 Striploin
🥩 Filet Mignon
🥩 Picanha
🍔 Premium burgers

The very high temperature promotes the Maillard reaction and the rapid formation of an aromatic crust on the outside.

An important detail

Sear Burner 900°C and TRU-Infrared™ are not the same thing.

The Sear Burner is a separate ceramic burner designed for extreme temperatures.

TRU-Infrared™ is the system used for the main cooking surface.

This combination is one of the most important selling points of the Professional PRO S 3.

♨️ TRU-Infrared™ – Char-Broil technology

The TRU-Infrared™ system uses an Emitter plate positioned between the burners and the cast iron grates. It distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface and limits direct contact between the flame and the food.

Char-Broil attributes five main advantages to this system: food up to 50% juicier, even heat distribution, elimination of flare-ups, easier cleaning, and gas consumption up to 30% more efficient.

In practice, grease no longer falls directly onto the flame in the same way as with a conventional grill.

🥩 Porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates

Professional PRO S 3 is equipped with coated cast iron grates, designed for efficient heat retention and the creation of characteristic grill marks.

Cast iron offers two important advantages:

high thermal inertia – it holds temperature very well;

strong heat transfer – it creates intense contact between the food and the hot surface.

The coating protects the cast iron and makes maintenance easier.

⚡ SureFire® electronic ignition

Ignition is handled by the SureFire® electronic system, which allows the burners to be started by pressing the button.

It is fast, simple and eliminates the need for manual ignition with a lighter.

🔴 LED-lit control knobs

The control knobs are equipped with red LED lighting.

In addition to the premium appearance, Char-Broil indicates that the lighting helps with visual control of the gas supply, especially when the grill is used in the evening.

⛽ Gas level gauge

Professional PRO S 3 features a gauge connected to the regulator, giving an indication of the gas level available in the cylinder.

This is a very practical feature, especially before a longer BBQ session.

🗄️ Spacious cabinet for gas cylinder

The lower body includes a robust support designed to hold a gas cylinder of up to 11 kg, according to the official specifications of the European version.

The enclosed space also contributes to the clean and premium appearance of the grill.

🥩 Gas + charcoal with MADE2MATCH

Professional PRO S 3 offers a very interesting function for customers who do not want to give up charcoal completely.

With the MADE2MATCH Charcoal Tray, available separately, Char-Broil indicates that the grill can be converted for charcoal use in less than 30 seconds.

This means the same grill can offer:

🔥 the convenience of gas;
🔥 TRU-Infrared™;
🔥 ceramic Sear Burner 900°C;
🔥 and the possibility of using charcoal with the dedicated accessory.

This feature deserves to be highlighted separately in the store.

Professional PRO S 3 vs a regular grill

This is a very good argument for the store consultant.

A regular three-burner grill mainly offers:

burners → heat diffusers → grates.

Professional PRO S 3 adds:

3 stainless steel burners → TRU-Infrared™ → cast iron + ceramic Sear Burner 900°C + SureFire® + LED + gauge + MADE2MATCH.

Therefore, the customer is not paying only for a better-looking stainless steel body. They receive multiple cooking technologies in one grill.

TRU-Infrared cooking technology: a unique grilling system with guaranteed results. Five key benefits (no open flames, up to 50% juicier food, 100% even heat distribution, easy cleaning, up to 30% more efficient gas consumption) for maximum grilling enjoyment.

Gas cylinder storage: a built-in holder ensures easy positioning of the gas cylinder and safe transport of the grill.

MADE2MATCH compatibility: the grill’s functionality can be expanded with the MADE2MATCH accessory system for added convenience (sold separately).

SureFire electronic ignition: an electronic igniter on each burner allows you to light all burners at the push of a button. No matches or external ignition sources are required.

LED lighting: red LED illumination on the control knobs enhances the modern look of the grill and helps improve gas flow control.

Integrated bottle opener: a built-in die-cast zinc bottle opener with embossed logo is always within easy reach.

Cast iron grates: porcelain-coated cast iron grates provide excellent heat retention and perfect sear marks. They are durable, rust-resistant and easy to clean.

4-wheel transport system with 2 locking wheels: two of the four wheels can be locked, ensuring easy mobility and stable positioning during use.

Gear Trax accessory hooks (2 pcs): the Gear Trax system keeps your grilling tools always within reach while cooking.
