This BBQ is pretty good -- no real issues BBQ-ing various food items. It was a pain in the butt to put it together though and the directions were pretty bad. I would say this is a good BBQ for the price, but have some patience putting it together...
My little pro:
My little pro came within 3 days and couldn't wait for grillin to start. Easy to put together, and food is still the same as those big burner gas products.
Thumbs Up!!:
Nice compact grill, heavy duty construction. Really like the cast iron cooking surface grate, and the fact that the charcoal "drawer" slides in and out. Makes adding coals and soaked wood chips a breeze!! Thickness of the metal really helps to keep the heat in. The ONLY thing that's annoying, is it's kinda unbalanced, when I try to roll it in and out of the garage. Definitely don't try to move it once it's lit!! Besides this (very minor) concern, this baby rocks!!
Great grill, horrible customer service from Char-Griller:
I really like the grill and the assembly was fairly painless although I could have used a second pair of hands a couple times. The only problem I have is with Char-Grillers customer service or should I say lack thereof. One of the hubcaps that holds the wheels on came broken and I immediately requested a replacement for it but to date have not heard anything from them. I believe they do not intend to honor the request.
