Pros & Cons

Pros

The charcoal feature is awesome and the one i always use. It makes the charcoal ready in 15 minutes without the taste of lighter fluid. The grill saves huge amounts of time and energy. Heats up fast and stays at the temperature.

Price is unbeatable. Free shipping. I'm sure it's fantastic.

Love this grill setup with charcoal option. Easy to regulate the temp for low and slow smoking/bbq. After one year of being covered out on our patio, it has no rust and still works like a charm. I read a lot of reviews stating that the coals are too c...  Read More

The side burner works well for skillets to cook smokey/greasy items like bacon or ground beef. The grate over the side burner is a little wobbly on mine. After contacting customer service to request replacement parts, a new lid and ignitor plus knob a...  Read More

Love the smokiness of wood charcoal on the food. I have minimal flare ups.



Cons

There is no ash catch or separate tray so it just collects where you burn the charcoal. The stock grates that come on the grill are garbage and will rust. The other disappointment is char-broil customer service. It is really hard to dump in to a bag o...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


The sheet metal is a good thickness and the tubes seem very sturdy.


Best grill, so flexible, charcoal, gas and smoke chips.


And the plastic wheels were very poor quality so i had to replace those with home depot units soon after purchase.


The grates are cast iron and over time mine rusted horribly.

Price


This is one of the best grills under $400.


Big bang for low cost and footprint.


Let me start by saying, it was a royal pain in the a$$ to assemble.


Only downside is i paid about $40 over what lowes had (non sale price).

Shipping


After contacting customer service to request replacement parts, a new lid and ignitor plus knob arrived with no issues.


I was worried about it being banged up during shipping like some of the reviews said, but mine was perfect.

Packaging/appearance


Hidden and exposed with a ceramic wax.


The build took about 3 hours lots of garbage and it came in a huge brown box (grill came a little dented).


Also it appears that a back panel was designed for the back of the grill but they later decided not to include it in the packag...  Read More


But overall very easy to understand if you take your time to look at the pictures in detail and keep the screws in the package ...  Read More

Competitiveness


I can see that i'll have to buy some hd ones from northern tool next week.

    Hardcore assembly but as a a girl with a cheap power drill and other old trusted tools i put it together in an afternoon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I tend to cook adjacent to the charcoal as opposed to over top of the charcoal

    But they still sent me a replacement and were great about it

    When it says not to try lighting in when it’s windy they aren’t kidding

    It’s going to take some experimentation to figure out the briquette ratio but i have all summer to play around with that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When our grill arrived the lid had a gash in it and the ignitor did not work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Every piece was clearly marked but you have to pay very close attention


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I prefer to slow cook without coals on one side can better control temperature then light the coals with gas on the other side halfway through cooking and get the grill markssear when coals get hot
