Deciding between a 2-in-1 gas grill and griddle station and a dual-fuel gas and charcoal grill is really a question of how you like to build flavor outdoors. The first gives you gas heat plus a flat-top griddle for everything from steaks to pancakes. The second gives you gas burners on one side and a charcoal pan on the other, so you can switch between convenience and smoky flavor without owning two grills.
Both units are freestanding and portable, with wheels, a side burner, a built-in thermometer, and a cover included. They share the same black-and-silver finish and both require assembly. The key differences are cooking power, cooking style, and listed price.
Quick verdict
If you want the most powerful listed output in this comparison and a dedicated griddle surface, choose the Nice Cooker 2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo. If you want charcoal flavor alongside gas heat and a lower listed price, choose the Nice Cooker Dual Fuel Gas and Charcoal Grill Combo.

Where each product wins
The 2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo wins when you want grilling and griddling in one cookout. Its 49,000 BTU output is the higher figure here, and it pairs cast iron grates for sear marks with a stainless steel griddle for flat-top cooking. You also get a listed work area, which makes it a fuller cooking station.
The Dual Fuel Gas and Charcoal Grill Combo wins when you want the option of charcoal smoke alongside gas heat. Its charcoal pan is height-adjustable, so you can raise it for hotter, closer cooking or lower it for slower heat. It also carries the lower listed price of the two.
Product notes
Nice Cooker 2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo with Cover Cast Iron Grates Non-Stick
This combo is designed for cooks who want both a grill and a griddle without setting up two appliances. Four independently controlled stainless steel burners deliver the highest listed heat output in this pairing, with cast iron grates on one side for sear marks and a stainless steel griddle on the other for eggs, pancakes, seafood, and vegetables. The listed features also include a work area, so there is space for plates or tools while you cook. Choose it when you want the versatility of a flat-top griddle alongside a grill. Its listed price is $399.99, and its two cooking zones are gas and griddle rather than gas and charcoal.
Nice Cooker Dual Fuel Gas and Charcoal Grill Combo 29,000 BTU Cast Iron Grates with Cover
This unit gives you two cooking styles at once: a gas side with four stainless steel burners and a charcoal side with an adjustable pan. The listed output of 29,000 BTU is the lower figure in this pairing, but the charcoal pan gives you temperature control at the cooking surface. Choose it when you want gas convenience and charcoal flavor in one grill, and when the lower listed price of $319.99 fits your plan. The trade-off is the lower total output compared with the griddle combo.
Final choice by use case
Choose the 2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo if you want a full grilling and griddling station. Choose the Dual Fuel Gas and Charcoal Grill Combo if you want gas and charcoal together and a lower listed price.
