Best Charcoal Grills in 2024

★★★★★ Exceeded all my expectations. This Royal Gourmet CC1830S 30" BBQ Charcoal Grill and Offset Smoker has certainly exceeded my expectations.It arrived very fast.It was very easy to assemble with good instructions.At this price, I was not expecting great quality, but this grill is made of excellent quality materials.Once assembled it is very sturdy.I certainly have gotten my money's worth with this smoker grill.

★★★★★ Awesome for the price. I had a heavy duty barrel smoker for about 20 years. After the legs rusted out in made the mistake of throwing the whole thing out instead of making it a built in. I regretted getting rid of it ever since. I really missed the cooked over wood taste and being able to control the temperature with the larger smokers. I got tired of buying smaller BBQ's and not getting the results that I was looking for. When I found this one I thought I would take a chance on it. I am so happy that I did. It is not the thickest material, but it has a tray that catches the ash so it will not erode the base (cool idea). It makes it super easy to clean the ash out a lot easier than scooping ash out of a heavier duty BBQ. I would not hesitate on buying this one again as it has been super durable and constant in temperature control and regaining the flavors that i really missed.

★★★★☆ Barbecue grill, smoker/side smoke. This product is a pretty good deal for your money but it does require at least two people to set up and there is a lot of parts and screws once you get it all set up and together for the money it’s OK be prepared to spend about 30 minutes to 45 minutes to put together kind of flimsy it’s not steel it’s all steel so it can bend very easily but if you take care of it and you put a cover on it, it should last for quite a while. Remember to clean your grill off before you put them away they’ll last longer that way can’t beat it for the price.

★★★★★ Great smoker/grill. This is my 2nd time purchasing this grill. I was pleased to find I was able to make another purchase and the price did not inflate as so many products have over the past 4 years. If you are an avid grill user this one out lasts and out performs others that I have bought in the past and definitely much better quality for the price. I would highly recommend this smoker !

★★★★★ Great grill. I don't know what everyone is talking about but this grill for 100 is the best 100 I ever spent on a grill. It only took 45 minutes to build and it was simple. After building the grill one thing I know many don't do is Season the grill but I did. It breaks the paint in keeping it from chipping and falling off. I spread vegetable oil all over the inside ever nut and bolt every single inch light some charcoal and kept the temp at about 325 for 2.5 hours and it's good to go. One piece of advice it is a 100$ grill keop that in mind. What you do is get some rtv650 silicon withstands 650 degrees and seal the chimney and around nuts and bolts and gets some lava lock high temp BBQ gaskets coat you 20 altogether and put a strip in between the two half's of the smoker before you bolt them together and around both doors and it's the best grill ever. Very very roomy can probably do 18 burgers at once... Another piece if advice after seasoning clean the outside then paint it with high temp paint you can get a pint from amazon or lowes (i didnt do this never needed to).if you season right you will be good. even after a few dozen times using it if you season it correctly you should be fine....update. 2/28/21 after maybe 6 dozen uses no issues at all. The ashtray or coal tray did start to rust. You cant buy replacement from the company byt you can find one on amazon that fits fine. No complaints I'm enjoying this inexpensive sturdy grill.

★★★★★ Easy to assemble. It took about 30 minutes to assemble. Haven’t been able to use it quite yet, because of weather, bit it looks like it should last quite a few seasons.

★★★☆☆ There is a reason this grill only costs a little over $100. Before making this purchase I read several reviews and the bad ones kind of spooked me but I decided to give it a try because I really wanted to be able to grill and smoke, and this is all the money I could spend right now. So who was right, the positive reviews or the negative ones? Kind of both.I ordered the grill on a Friday and it arrived on a Tuesday. Assembled it Wednesday night. Assembly was very simple. First thing I noticed was that the people complaining about how thin the steel is were right, but you get what you pay for. The instructions call for the grill to be seasoned with a small fire. Another reviewer recommended to do this more than once. So between Thursday and Saturday night I built four small fires in the grill. By the time the fourth one had almost burned out I could still smell the chemical smell but it was greatly reduced.Note that the instructions say never to get the temp above 400 degrees F. They also say you can put six pounds of charcoal in the main grill body. If you use that much charcoal you will have a 700-800 degree fire. You'll have to really play a balancing game of getting a fire big enough to cook without burning all the paint off.With the grill seasoned it was time to try cooking on it. I used just enough charcoal to cover 90% of the grill grate with one layer of coals. Temp jumped quickly to about 550, so I shut all the dampers. Cooked chicken and squash. Pleased with the way the grill performed. However, the next day when I cleaned the ashes out I noticed lots of paint had peeled off the pan that holds the grill grate. Now either it will rust or I'll need to repaint it with a high temperature paint. YOu get what you pay for.Today I attempted using the unit as a smoker. The instructions say you can put four pounds of charcoal in the fire box, but I was scared to use that much. I probably started with 2.5-3 pounds. Put a water pan on the charcoal grate in the main grill. Got the temp up to about 200 and put ribs on. Checked about 30 minutes later temperature was 250 but the fire was dying so i stoked it. Bottom line I continued this process of adding to the fire so that the thermometer read 225-300 for about three hours. When I checked the ribs, however, they were not actually cooking. I mean they were hot to the touch, but not hot enough to render any fat out. Not sure yet how to solve this problem. I'm guessing either the thermometer is off or the product just loses too much heat due to gaps in tolerances and thin material.Overall, I think the grill is worth what it costs. I expect it to be functional for grilling and hope to figure out the smoking function. But you get what you pay for so if you can afford a higher quality cooker you should probably get one.Update. After 8 months of use there is not much paint in the main cook chamber or the fire box chamber. The carcoal pan and grate in the cook chamber are warped, rusted, and cracked. However, I am still able to use the grill very effectively--just not sure how much longer that will last. I've also learned that it does function fairly well as a smoker if the ambient conditions are nice and you monitor the fire very carefully. The instructions say not to use real wood in the fire box. However, I have found that if you keep a good bed of coals you can use very small splits of oak or pecan and it works well.22 month update. Had to replace the ash pan. The fire box (on the side for the smoking function) has rusted through in two places and is no longer safely functional. The grill part still works fine and we use it almost every week. The cooking grates have held up very well.I guess my recommendation has not changed--get this if it is all you can afford.

★★★★★ Nice Quality. Assembly took about 75min by myself. Easy enough overall. Per the cost, this is a very nice grill.

★★★★★ Excelente proveedor atento y amable, el producto está genial, recomiendo seguir las instrucciones de curado para optimizar su funcionamiento, es perfecto. Muchas gracias.

★★★★★ Could be a bit more sturdy

★★★★★ Easy to use

★★★★☆ On a fait un rôti (épaule de porc). Cuisson de 4h00. à 275 degrés F. Merveilleux, succulent!!!Pour des débutants.

★★★★★ Super

★★★★★ Easy to Assemble. This grill was very easy to assemble and is a good quality product. This is my 2nd Weber kettle grill. The 1st one lasted almost 20 years.

★★★★★ Great barbecue. If you like charcoal grills this is the one to get. Well priced at $149. The grill itself is not that flimsy kind that you often find with most charcoal grills. The shell is sturdy and will last for quite some time

★★★★★ Excellent charcoal grill choice. Just purchased a replacement-in-kind for my decades old Weber 22" charcoal grill. It arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble (I'm 60+, small frame, female). Directions are clear and the two things that required any strength: moving the grill from my front porch to the garage (I used a hand truck) and inserting the legs into the kettle base (directions are clear not to hammer, so you have to sort of twist them in until they lock). I'm happy with the shiny new replacement.

★★★★★ Basic Weber is all you need to grill delicious meals. This is the fourth Weber Grill I’ve owned over 40 years. You can cook just about anything with this grill. The basic model is what you need. Get some long steel tongs to move food around and the Lodge’s Dutch oven lid lifter to move the coals and hot grill grate around. There is enough room on grill to cook for a family of five. I use this Weber about two or three times a week. Example: I’ll cook potatoes which take an hour and then cook some sausage for 15 minutes and then grill stakes and eat as soon as I take them off grill. If we have a lot of people over I’ll cook lots of appetizers so we eat constantly over three hours. Like when Coals are ready, I’ll cook some mushroom stuffed with cheese and then I’ll close up the grill and cook smoked chicken wings for an hour and then after that I might even do a dessert of grilled pineapple served with ice cream. I also have a small ash bucket I empty every month. I use Kingsford Original Charcoal Briquettes but cheap’ole Cowboy Charcoal from W*mart works great too. Don’t use lighter fluid, use a basic chimney starter with some paper to light ur coals, which takes about 15min before they r ready. There are more expensive webers but I think this is the only one you need. Save money and get accessories instead. Also, I take my grill camping too, it’s easy to take apart and smoked chicken thighs cook in less than two hours and are amazing (can smoke about 8 thighs in this Weber at once). Oh and grilled Big Portabella mushrooms are so good in this thing. Also the bottom vents r easy to adjust using ur tongs. Included picture of what my 10 year old Weber looks like. Still works great just not shiny and bottom vents r gone.

★★★★★ Webber kettle. Very good construction. Three major improvments including heat shield for lid pickup handle. Made in USA; great .

★★★★☆ Seems well-built and functional with very few annoyances. I bought myself this grill for Christmas when nobody else got it for me, and now I've had it almost three months and have used it quite a few times. I bought it based on the Amazon recommendations, and the recommendation of FoodTV host Alton Brown in his book, GEAR FOR THE KITCHEN. Also, in perusing the internet, I found the "Blue's BBQ" web site from Australia. One reader asks, "How did the Weber become the icon for the Australian BBQ?" Blue had to disappoint the reader by informing her that the Weber is actually American. But if it has that kind of reputation in Australia, is must be good.Judging from the reviews here, I'll have to wait 20 years to see how it holds up. It does live on my back porch, but with the Weber cover.It is fairly easy to assemble, and in my humble engineering opinion, seems well-made and designed with few exceptions. The Silver model has an ash catch-pan hung between the legs. The pan sits on top of spring clips clipped to the leg. After how well everything else went together, this seemed really cheesy to me. If you're a prefectionist, you'll go nuts trying to level the pan.I guess that the "one touch cleaning" feature is the vanes on the bottom that also act to adjust the temperature in the grill by adjusting the airflow. If you swish them back and forth, opened and closed, it'll push some ash through the vent in the bottom. The problem is that the vanes themselves are wide and flat, and half of the ash just rides back and forth on them. I think Weber overstates this "one touch cleaning" feature.The vanes closely fit the bottom shape of the grill when assembled, but after a couple of uses, one warped. I don't know if this is from heat, or something I lodged under it. I had to disassemble the vanes, and bend the offending blade a bit, and it's been perfect since.I am a bit disappointed in some of the accessories, like the tool rack and little side table. They hang on the edge of the grill, and compromise the otherwise pretty good seal between the lid and grill. They also sell a lid rack, but note that the lid does comes with a hook in it so you can hang it on the edge of the grill, although it is certainly not as easy as using the optional rack.Based on recommendations here, I got the 22" (larger) model. I can't disagree with that. Unless you just don't have the extra 4" of storage space or REALLY need a good grill, but just don't have the money, get the bigger one. It doesn't use that much more charcoal.The other thing I scratched my head over was whether to get the Silver or Gold model. The differences were not completely clear to me until I actually got the grill. First, the Gold model adds a catch can that fits closely to the bottom of the grill instead of the pan I complained about. That would be nice. Maybe when you're grilling, hot specks of charcoal won't fall out the bottom and burn your legs, and if you grill somewhere where you don't want a lot of ash, this might be worthwhile. But the Gold is almost twice the price of the Silver, and I had a hard time justifying the additional cost.The other feature added by the Gold is a grate with folding sides to allow you to add more charcoal when doing a long roast. A handy feature for sure, if you're cooking includes that, but I found those replacement Weber grates locally for twelve dollars, so wouldn't pay for the Gold model to get them.And I guess that's another advantage of the Webers in general: They're so popular, replacement parts are easily found locally.Sometimes, I long for the built-in side table of the Platinum, but that's a lot of money.The grill came with a small cookbook that has proved useful. I don't know getting burgers and steaks done right has been such a hit or miss, trial and error, proposition that most people make it out to be. You look up in the little book, "Beef, 1-1/2 in thick, well-done (I know, Alton Brown wouldn't like me), 10 minutes first side, 9 minutes second side" and they come out perfectly.DEFINITELY pick up a Weber charcoal chimney if you don't have one yet. It's the best way by far to start the grill - no kabooms, no fumes, no smell, no dangerous fluids stored in your house, and a good use for Florida Today newspaper. If you want to try something different, pick up the book AMERICAN PIE by Peter Reinhert and try the grilled pizza.

★★★★★ I bought this to build a ugly drum smoker. The 22 inch lid and grate is what I was purchasing to go with the stainless steel food grade drum that I had purchased. If you are looking to do the same be prepared to look at the construction of the drum as they are not all built the same.Very happy with the quality after three seasons.

★★★★★ Quality product. Worth every rupee..

★★★★★ This grill is the standard that all other grills should measure up to or attempt to exceed. Bang-for-Buck, you can do absolutely everything every intermediate or experienced griller would want to achieve. It grills, it smokes, and it has a ridiculously amount of accessories to play and experiment with. With 22 inches of real-estate, you should be able to do anything a small family or gathering would need to be cooked.Other reasons why this Weber kicks ass?- Lightweight and easy to move.- Easy to clean.- Simplicity is often a virtue in itself. All you need is a chimney starter and charcoal. No lugging around a propane tank.- It. Wont. Break. There's literally nothing that can break other than screws/fasteners coming loose.Don't hesitate if you're thinking about getting one. Weber is simply the classic go-to option.

★★★★★ Awesome thanks for the product.

★★★★★ Buen tamaño y muy buena calidad!

★★★★★ Great charcoal grill. Easy to assemble and easy to use. The media could not be loaded.  This is by far the best and sturdiest charcoal grill I have ever owned. We use it almost everyday since we got it about 3 weeks ago. I have grilled on it about everyday since I got it. Keep in mind it is a CHARCOAL GRILL. It will smoke a lot. Plus I like to add wood chips to my grill to really add that mesquite, apple, or cherry smoke flavor to my foods. The front side door is kind of a waist as I have never used it. I have noticed that the ash try at the bottom has to be empty out after about 2 rounds of cooking. I use about 1/4 to 1/3 of a bag 16 pound bag of charcoal briquettes during each cooking. I only give it a 3 star rating on the temperature rating because it’s a charcoal grill. Because as you may know you really can’t control charcoal as it burns. LOL!! However the easy at which you can raise and lower the charcoal is really amazing, and you can shut down all 3 of the dampers easily too. There is a damper on each side of the grill and one on the lid.

★★★★★ The features make this grill easy to use and adjust to cook your food as. We used our grill for a large BBQ at our house and it was able to handle a large amount of food -- chicken, dogs, burgers, veggies. The features make this grill easy to use and adjust to cook your food as you like it. It's also very attractive on our patio. It was not difficult to assemble as long as you have 2 people to hold and turn it as you go. My husband and teen son were able to complete assembly in 1 hour 15 minutes without any trouble. I suggest covering it when not in use as we found some water in the bottom tray after a long rain.

★★★★☆ Pretty decent grill for the money. the nicest have ever used anyway. I grilled on it tonight for the first time and I chose something that is typically pretty challenging...3 really thick steaks...like close to 2" thick steaks. Normally, I would sear each side and finish in the oven but this grill eliminated the need for the oven step. The grilling area is so large I only used 2/3 of it for the grilling and finished with indirect heat on the other third, where there was no charcoal. It worked beautifully and the steaks were perfect.The positives:Looks greatGrills greatExcellent heat control...the mechanism that elevates and lowers the charcoal tray works perfectly and easily. End dampers and smoke stack dampers all do their jobs. I think this grill is going to work fantastically for smoking as well.The negatives:Not much to complain about. The grill does not seal air tight so no saving of unused charcoal...it's all going to burn up but I am content with that because the ability to control the heat is so effective and easy to use.The grill is pretty time consuming to assemble, not difficult, but time consuming. I have all the necessary tools and plenty of assembly experience and it still took me over two hours to put this together. The parts are mostly well marked so there is no difficulty figuring out what goes where. The assembly instructions are, for the most part, good. The only thing I would recommend is that you ignore the instructions regarding the side shelves and install the support brackets to the side of the grill first,loosely, then install the shelves on the brackets. The instructions want you to put the brackets on the shelf, then install that assembly on the grill. It is much easier if you mount the brackets first.I particularly like the way the side shelf support brackets are made. The brackets are stamped out of sheet metal and are pretty strong but they also have open areas which are perfect for hanging equipment on. I am a long time hobby blacksmith and so I forged a grill lifter as well as a custom grill scraper/charcoal rake. There is also room to hang my grill brush. It works a treat.My grill arrived on time and undamaged.

★★★★★ Great grill for the price. I read the reviews before buying this grill and their aggregate experience prepared me for the grill. I'll start by saying that it arrived damaged (probably damaged during shipping) and it's not super heavy duty. However, as some other reviewers have pointed out, a super heavy duty grill like this runs in excess of $2K. For the price, this is a great grill. The vents and the ability to raise and lower the charcoal give you great heat control.The firebox arm on my grill was busted. I was frustrated of course, so I contacted customer service. Within a couple of days a replacement part had arrived and I was in business.In the end, this is a great grill for the price. I don't expect everything to be perfect all the time, but I do expect companies to stand behind their products. GHP group (the parent company for Dyna Glo) was quick to respond to my email and got a replacement part to me right away.

★★★★★ Well I received this awesome BBQ during the week and put it together over the weekend. It does take a bit of work to assemble but the instructions were perfect and if you have some basic skills it is easy to build. The reason why it takes a bit of work is that the design of this unit becomes so sturdy and well built, it will easily last for years, no doubt in my mind. It really looks sharp once assembled and man oh man does it ever cook your meat so good! I had family over and although I had to modify the BBQ to install a Rotisserie, it was well worth the time as the top sirloin roast, I cooked was a tremendous success! The smell and taste was something to dream of! I am adding a picture of the mods I did to install the Rotisserie, it works so well. Very pleased! Oh I i used Royal Oak lump hardwood charcoal and the taste was incredible. It lighted up fast using an electric starter and although it is more of a hassle than propane, the taste of the food makes it more than worthwhile. I will never use propane again!If you want to taste the best BBQ food, get one of these you will not regret it!

★★★★★ Very happy with BBQ, cooks great, easy to put together also recommend buying a cover for it. But,,,UPS, OMG that company should take a photo of the box when it comes in and one when its delivered. the fact that nothing was damaged amazes me. the box was damaged bent , wrinkled ,had holes in it and looked like it sat in water. Dyna Glo , you might want to start shipping with Fed-ex. Seriously !

★★★★☆ Ok

★★★★☆ Arrived super fast! Four days... A breeze to put together, about an hour and a half. Going to try er today.Great build quality, we will see how she performs. I will update.As of November 2021 we are still using this barbecue. The middle back at the bottom us starting to rot out a little, but other that that, it is still fully functional. Will by another one when it is time to replace.

★★★★★ Love this barbecue, it does excellent job,,,thank you very much

★★★★★ Fantastic grill at reasonable cost. Having used this for four years now, I can easily give this five stars. I use it several times a week summer and winter. There's several qualifiers though. I have three smokers and a gas grill and I've smoking and grilling foods for almost 50 years. The acorn requires some experience though because it can get very hot. That works for some things but with a little monitoring and some accessories the temp is very controllable. Two essential accessories are ; the smoking stone, and pitmaster 101 control unit. Alton Brown uses this in his Weber and they have a model for the acorn. With this and stone you can do controlled smoke down to 150. Is very efficient at burning charcoal. I use a good lump charcoal and I keep the ash pan at least half full so it can hold coals. I haven't smoked a brisket yet but have done pork shoulders. Try ring of fire method. There's plenty of YouTube videos on that. I get great bark. Sometimes I use a water pan under grate. As for high heat, I've never seen anything better. Thirty years ago a friend had a Korean komodo and it worked great. I considered a green egg but couldn't justify the cost. Getting it very hot is easy. I butterfly chickens and at about six hundred degrees I out them on we have juicy chicken with crispy skin. Also steaks at six hundred degrees cook fantastic. I have several pics on Pinterest if you want to see. I have done tomahawk steaks too. I put large chunk of whatever hardwood I want to use and I get great smoke penetration. I've done turkeys too. If there's a drawback it's limited surface area but I have other grills to use as well. But so far the acorn has been enough. With the savings you could get a gas flattop to compliment it. I'll be using my acorn today to grill some salmon.So far this has exceeded my expectations. But it's not start and ignore. Oh also I use a Bluetooth temp gauge as the one mounted has limitations and once I have everything going I can monitor remotely. I'll update this again but I would buy another one. May 2023. I just posted a picture of what I am using my acorn Komodo to cook. I have a pork shoulder, brined pork belly for bacon and a few country style ribs that I'm smoking with hickory. Paired with pitmaster 101 controller works fantastic. I have seen that char broil has a new egg that incorporates a controller. If looking to buy a new one I'd definitely check that out. I've used this a long time. I use it all year, even during winter and it's cold here. It always works great! In addition to smoking I use this to cook chicken. I split the chicken into halves and when the egg is about 450-500 I put it on. Everyone says this is the best chicken they've had. Crispy skin, and very juicy. In six years it has made fantastic meals. I can buy at least 3 of these for price of Green egg. Or this plus a flattop grill. So check it out. Oh also if the grill gets cruddy just open the lower vent and top vent and it'll burn everything off. Next day I just brush the dust off and use Canola spray to re- season the grill. The smoke stone is vital to operation. I use the accessory grill that's provided also. An excellent value. Makes superior smoked turkey also. My kids won't let me cook turkey in oven anymore.

★★★★★ Works great, definitely worth the money. The media could not be loaded.  Update 12/5/19 ---I've had this now for 1.5 years, and I still really like it. I'm not seeing any signs of rust, and all the seams still seal, even though I've been using this probably twice a week on average. I still think it's a great price to get into a Kamado BBQ. I smoked a 20lb. turkey for Thanksgiving last week, it was moist and juicy and smokey, with crisp skin. Then I reverse seared a 3lb. prime rib roast the next day. You can make great veggies on it, too. Maybe the biggest hit has been the baba ganoush (smokey eggplant and garlic dip), but any roasted veggies will come out excellent.Original review ---TL;DR: You have to consider this $300 Kamado in comparison to spending 2-8x as much for other Kamado style grills. I am sure I would love to have a Weber Summit or a Kamado Joe, but I can buy this over and over again for the cost of one of those units. I have had this for a year now, and it's been great. It's much lighter and less fragile than the ceramic units, and provides great control over temperatures. By buying bags of different types of wood chunks, you can tailor the smoke flavor to the food easily.The Akorn took me about 1.5 hours to assemble, and I had no issues. All the parts were present, and all the fasteners were packaged in a blister pack that identified everything, so it was easy to see that I had all the parts. All the parts lined up and everything mounted the way the instructions said it should. The gaskets both sealed perfectly, and have continued to seal for the 6 months I've had it.This is the only Kamado grill I've owned, but it has been easy to figure out. I've cooked half a dozen pork butts on it, I've done a couple full briskets, lots of spare ribs, 3 or 4 prime rib roasts, probably 8 turkeys and a bunch of steaks. I love doing a "reverse sear" on prime rib or steaks (smoke the meat low at 225°F until it reaches about 120°F internal, take the meat off and crank up the heat to 500°F or more, then sear the meat for about 2 minutes on each side). Everything has been at least good, and after a bit of practice, most things have come off great! I've also roasted peppers, done artichokes, eggplants and a bunch of other veggies, in different ways, on this grill. It gives you super control and a wide range of temperatures, and you can raise the temperature really fast. It only takes 5-10 minutes to do the raise from smoking to searing I mentioned above.Speaking of which, it's very important, especially for cooking at lower temperatures, to keep a careful eye on the grill temperature as it heats up. It's much easier to bring the heat up than to try to cool the grill down. This isn't a knock on the Akorn itself, it's a property of all the Kamado style grills. Be very careful not to let it run away, or it will take you a long time to get it back down to where you want it.You also definitely want to buy a pizza stone/heat deflector stone for this, in order to do low and slow cooking. I think I paid $35 for the one I bought to go with the Akorn. This is what allows you to cook over indirect heat, to smoke low and slow, to put a water pan in to keep the food moist for longer cooks, and to catch drippings for sauces and gravies.The cast iron grate is easy to use and keep clean, if you season it first. Mine is black and somewhat glossy, like a cast iron pan, and food doesn't stick to it.The ash removal system is easy to use and effective. After removing the ash pan, try to pour the ash out away from the air intake or you'll get some between the walls.A number of reviews talk about rust problems. I'm about 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean, and we can have a lot of fog, so I was concerned about that. I haven't seen any rust forming yet, but I did buy a cover for the grill to try and protect it. At this price, if it rusts out in 5 years and I have to buy another one, I'll be dead before it costs me as much as a Weber Summit.As others have reported, the thermometer in the lid is not accurate. I factored that into my expectations, and I already had a wireless thermometer that I was using on my gas grill. Consider, if you don't already have one, getting a 2 (or more) probe wireless thermometer. You want to have a probe for the grill temperature and another for the food. This will allow you to do longer cooks without opening the lid and losing heat.Also, I would recommend that you get some heat proof gloves, so you can add or remove the heat deflector while it's hot or there's a fire going.

★★★★★ TENIA DUDAS ACERCA DE ESTE ASADOR, POR SU FORMA. PERO YA USANDOLO, ES EL MEJOR ASADOR QUE PUDE HABER COMPRADO, SUPER RESISTENTE, DURA MUCHO TIEMPO LA TEMPERATURA ACUMULADA DENTRO PARA HACER AHUMADOS. CON POCO CARBON PUEDES HACER MUCHOS CORTES, TE ALCANZA PARA HACER HASTA POSTRES CON LA MITAD DE UNA BOLSA DE CARBON.

★★★★★ All metal grill, the construction is well made. The Grill is solid but also comparatively light to other ceramic Kamado type grills.The assembly takes an hour, all necessary nuts and bolts supplied. Just be aware, the lock washers are pretty small and there is no spares, be careful with themThe grill is easier to light if you use a chimney for your charcoal. There is a lot of youtube videos on this particular grill to help you use it. The removable ash pan is easy to remove and clean.Make sure to season the main grilling surface so it does not rust.

★★★★★ Bigger than i expected, easy to assemble, quality seems good and its about 1/4 the cost of a green egg

★★★★★ I'm really satisfied with this grill. I bought it really cheap compare to ceramic grills. It has a big diameter (more food on the grill). Grill came packed really well and assembly was easy. It's perfect just for making easy steaks, Bratwurst or smoking ribs, pulled pork. Just recommend to buy pizza stone (heat deflector) for indirect grilling/smoking. And cover if you have it outside

★★★★☆ The grill works great. However I only realized that the side tray connecting arm was bent when I completed installation. Does not affect the grill itself, but the side tray cannot be opened flat because of the bent arm.

★★★★★ Ultimate outdoor grilling experience. This grill is a powerhouse that's sure to impress even the most discerning grill masters.One of the standout features of this grill is its expansive cooking surface, which easily accommodates large gatherings and family feasts. Whether you're grilling up burgers, steaks, veggies, or even a whole chicken, you'll have plenty of space to work with. Plus, the grill's sturdy construction ensures even heat distribution for perfectly cooked meals every time.The build quality of the Sophia & William grill is top-notch.
