Cheap materials but not bad for the price
By Edward J. Mccusker
This is a good grill for what it offers at it's price point. The main reason I purchased this model was the crank that allows you to adjust the coal rack height. My main grip comes more from the poor packing in the box (from the factory), as there was almost no cushion and some of the larger pieces got dents and bent after being put through the rigors of shipping at some point. Mine was also missing the hardware to assemble it, so I had to call Charbroil customer service. Their customer service was surprisingly responsive and they did offer to replace all the parts I wasn't happy with. I admit to being too lazy to want to ship said parts back, so I made them work just fine. I was able to get the grill assembled with minimal difficulty once the hardware arrived. Had the packing been better, it would probably have arrived in better shape and would have a 5 star rating from me. The grill works very well and we've been very pleased with it from our first use onward.

By Charles Forquignon
For $150 I can't bash this grill to much, BUT I can give some tips that will help you get it into great working shape and perform better. (I bought this grill from Wal-Mart for $149.99, so this reveiw has nothing to do it Amazon, the price it is selling for here or shipping what so ever)1st - take out all the pieces and make sure they are not bent or damaged. My hood was a little bent on one side when I opened mine, someone else might want to take it or send it back at this point. I just used a hammer to bang it back into shape and it was fine, so it wasn't a big deal to me at all. Looks fine, works fine :)2nd make sure you don't lose ANY screws or hardware while you're putting this grill together, it does not come with a single extra piece. I lost one of the short screws and bolt, I had an extra screw and bolt that fit it okay lying around in my tool box so I wasn't SOL. But if you do lose something, just write down the piece you lost or need (1/2" 5mm screw, or whatever piece) and ask someone at Lowes, Home Depot or any hardware store and you can get a new screw or nut for just a couple of cents.3rd - The parts i would recommend getting new pieces for right off the bat would be the screw and nut for the side air vents, the ones that let your coals or wood breath from both sides of the grills body. These fit so tightly together (which is a good thing) because you don't want to tighten them down all the way and make it hard for you to open and close the vent to control air flow. The only problem here is that the screws are made of a cheap soft type of metal and with the force it takes to tighten the bolt down you completely strip the screws out. 2 screws and bolts (60-80 cents)4th - The latch on the door will NOT work the way they have it designed to work. As soon as you tighten the bolt down and try to turn the handle the latching piece will strip the oblong shape they make to fit the bolt and you'll have just a round hole that won't be of any use because the handle will turn but the latch won't. To fix this all you have to do is get an extra nut and washer. Place the extra washer as the first piece in the inside of the grill then put on one of the nuts tighten it down until it is JUST TOUCHING the washer on the inside. DO NOT TIGHTEN IT AGAINS THE DOOR! Place the latch piece on and then place the other nut on the outside of the latch as the last piece. Tighten this nut down until it is just touching the latch. Now you're going to take both nuts, on both sides of the latch and tighten them together. Basic you're using the two nuts to hold the latch in place instead of the flat sides that will just strip out extremely easy. Extra nut (40-60 cents)Besides some of the screws being complete garbage, the grill is pretty awesome! Spending just a few cents on this grill will have it working GREAT instead of playing $400+ for a grill that will only equal the quality of what you get here.This is a great grill!!! I love how it smokes when I use hickory, mesquite, apple or cherry wood. I made some London broil on it last night that got me some really great compliments on the flavor and juiciness of the steak. The fact that it has the rack inside that you can raise or lower with the crank on the front of the grill make this grill REALLY, REALLY AWESOME! I've never had this much control over any grill I've ever used. When the grill is raised high it will suck air in from the sides and feed the fire from underneath and burn really hot and even for charring up some burgers, hotdogs, brats and stuff of that nature. You can lower the tray deep into the grills bottom, add some soaked wood chips and restrict the air vents on both sides to choke the fire for slow cooking and it will smoke like a beast!!! I love it!ONLY THING CRAPPY ABOUT THIS GRILL IS SOME OF THE HARDWARE. Spend a few cents on getting some better hardware and you've got yourself a REALLY GREAT GRILL!

By CowboyLon
Got this grill in June of 2011, so far I've logged over 120 hours of smoke time on this.Pros: Great sized grilling area can easily handle 20 hamburgers at one time.raise and lower coal grate works wonders for controlling temperature.Cons:some of the screws were a little flimsy (easily corrected for $2 bought new screws.Wish it was a little larger or came with a side fire box.I grill Friday-Sunday on this Grill, recently in one day it put out 7 racks of Baby back ribs, 12 chicken quarters, 24 chicken breasts, 24 hotdogs and 24 hamburgers.very happy with it and would buy another.
