I have an old Charbroil grill with the single side burner and this grid fits it just fine. Over time the stock grid had rusted through and was causing problems for the food I was cooking on it. Most replacement grids fit just "ok", but would leave gaps around the edges. This grid fits perfectly, filling the entire surface of the grill.
If I had a couple nits, I would say that the surface isn't particularly non-stick. Because of this, it's a good idea to use some non-stick spray before you cook softer meats (fish, chicken). Steak seems like it would hold up just fine. The grid also doesn't seem to clean particularly well. I've got a heavy duty wire brush I clean it with when before I start cooking and it's only moderately effective. Cleaning the grill surface after you're done cooking (while it's still hot) works much better.

We bought this as a retrofit/update of our older grill which was nearing 15 years old. We were going to just purchase a new grill for the patio, but reading so many mixed reviews we decided that our main structure of our grill system was good and the size, BTU output, etc was just fine for our size family, so we just updated with this grill, a new heat sheild and burner. For under $100 total for all new parts that we purchased we had a great grill again. We could have spent hundreds for a new grill and not gotten this result.

The Char-Broil Quantum Infrared Urban Gas Grill is so named because it features Char-Broil's patented and award winning Quantum Infrared cooking system. The Quantum Infrared cooking system completely climates flare ups and its design allows for perhaps the greatest grilling versatility seen in years. Each burner has its own temperature gauge located above the control knob and working at grate level for a true reading of the heat about to sear your steak or whatever you may be grilling. The Quantum Infrared design also allows you to add wood chips directly on to the cooking grates for added flavor and no flare up. This 2 burner grill is highly efficient due to the unique patented infrared grates and thus needs just 2 burners get the job done with the smaller cooking area. The Quantum Infrared Urban is ideal for a wide range of cooking temperatures. Perhaps space is an issue for your patio or perhaps you just want high-end infrared cooking performance without the 500+ price tag. This grill features 340 Square Inch of primary cooking area, 125 Square Inch of secondary cooking area, new "Surefire" electronic ignition, and a combination of stainless steel and painted steel appliance style cart construction with folding side shelves. As with all grills, we recommend keeping the firebox clean to help avoid flare up as well as using a grill cover to protect your investment.

I am a grill fanatic so when it was time to pick out a new one, research was a borderline obsession of mine. I settled on this IR grill from Char-Broil.
The major, most important thing to consider about this grill is that it cooks much more quickly than your standard LP grills and is a lot more like charcoal in that sense. You need to "relearn" grilling times to an extent but once you do, you'll have the best grilled foods you could possibly imagine! Here are the things I love most about it and really helped make my mind up about this one over its competitors.
Best Features: -Temp gauges at the grilling surface: I've never seen this on any other grills before and helps to keep an eye on the temperature where it matters: at the surface. You don't measure your stove top temps at the hood, do you? Exactly.
-Folding shelves: this allows the grill to become extremely compact and makes for easy storage out on the porch. It also makes it an ideal... Read more

Pros: Very well designed and manufactured~ Good fit and finish~ Sturdy, solid grill~ The infrared is a completely unique cooking technique that works and works well~ The top, front door, grates, burners and infrared emmiters and hardware are all stainless steel~ Seems to use less propane than conventional gas grill~ Temp gauges seem to be accurate and solid~ Allows you to burn woodchips or natural wood charcoal directly on the grates its amazing and soo easy to do!!~ The best grill I have ever owned....or used for that matter!!~ If your in the market for a $300 grill, buy this thing!
Cons: Not too sure about the Surefire start system as of yet. The button has to be pushed just right but once it is... click click boom its lit!~ Ikea has nothing on Char-Broil in the "Uhhh I have to put ALL OF THIS together?" catagory~ If your not a handy person with a good set of basic tools, you better hope your friend or neighbor is!~ I am a handy person and this was a pretty long build to...

Had this grill for a year so far and I wanna address some points people brought up:
"Cleaning it is a pain" - Not really. In fact, it's pretty easy since the grates come off and the infrared panels come out too. I clean it after every use and is very easy. I could see it becoming a pain if you: use lots of sweet/syrupy sauces and NEVER clean it. Then yes, things could get crusty. If you don't have time to clean it after EVERY use, just leave it on high heat for about 10 min after cooking and all the crud brushes off pretty easily.
"It Rusts" - Still no problem here. If you don't clean it, let it sit in the rain, and never treat the grates, yes, you will get rust just like every grill. If you take care of the grates by wiping them/spraying them with vegetable oil after every other use, they will hold up just fine. Same with the infrared panels. If you keep your grill outside...clean it, oil it, COVER IT.
Fits just fine for my Charbroil grill, 
Great Grill,
