Royal Gourmet CC1830F Charcoal Grill with Offset Smoker, 811 Sq. Inches Cooking Space, Barrel Charcoal BBQ Grill for Outdoor Backyard Cooking, Black

Overall this is a great little grill for the price. For the future readers, I bought this during the COVID19 quarantine of 2020, and let me tell you, this thing has helped keep my sanity. It’s very easy to use and clean up, so we’ve been using it a lot since we can’t leave the house right now. My husband set it up on his own in about 30-45 and he also made a mistake, so it would take less time if you didn’t do what he did (put the legs on backwards lol). It’s a good size. We’re a family of four and it has plenty of room for all our food to be cooked at once. We haven’t used the smoker feature yet, but for just normal grilling it’s worked beautifully. Keeps the heat in well, the thermometer on the hood is useful and works great, and the exhaust pipe works as it should also. The lid is easy to prop up if you want to grill in the rain like we did yesterday... we used a fork. It was perfect. So yeah, definitely get this if you’re looking for a simple but effective grill :) also want to add I saw some mentions of it being too short for tall people... my husband is 6’1” and I’m 5’10”... it’s definitely not too short for us. You’d have to be pretty massive for it to be too short.

Not the most durable grill. But it cooks very well and has a decent amount of room to cook on.

Overall, I like this BBQ. I got a decent value for my money, it's a good upgrade when you only have a single chamber cheap charcoal BBQ.Assembly isn't really hard, but you will need someone to help you, otherwise it can get complex. The offset works nicely for cold smoking and hot smoking, even for slow cooking. If you need any temperature abote 350F, you'll need to use the main chamber.The charcoal tray in the main chamber has 2 settings : high, and really high. It is a little harder to cook things like chicken in those condition, you'll need to make a "hot" zone on the left of the BBQ, leaving only half the surface for cooking stuff.Also, there is a lot of room for improvement. The cover won't close properly, smoke and heat escape from all around the main chamber. The way the opening is done between the offset and the main chamber traps a lot of smoke in the offset, and smoke escape from there also. Most of those issues can be fixed, and you'd get a nice BBQ experience from it.If your goal is to get a BBQ that compare to a kamado or big green egg, you should look at another item. The price difference does implies less quality. But if you're looking for an inexpensive BBQ that is a step above the cheap 50$ charcoal grill, this is a decent choice.

I used to use the Weber 18 inch grill. This is my first large offset smoker grill for my backyard and it is lovely. I get this one on I used to use the Weber 18 inch grill. This is the my first large offset smoker grill for my backyard and it is lovely. I get this one on sale and its quality definitely worth every penny I spent. It is larger than I expected. The grill grids are very heavy but the shells are thin. The assembly is fairly straight and all items are properly named. It takes me about 40 minutes to build it, the only trick is that you need to lay down the parts when connecting the cover.Until now, I already use it twice and both the offset smoker and the regular grill work fine. One of the designs I love most is the adjustable charcoal pan. It not only let you adjust the height of the charcoal easily to control the heat, the extra pan below the grid bar can collect the ashes and simplify the clean work. I see many complaints about the paint peelings when using the offset smoker. To me, I do not see this issue yet. When I do the smoking, I use my homemade charcoal basket to locate the charcoals rather than let them spread around the bottom. The basket is originally for my 18 inch Weber, but it is perfect size for the offset smoker. In general, I love this grill and price wise it is unbeatable.

I've learned that many negative Amazon product reviews are not necessarily an indication of a poor quality product. Many people don't read or follow manufacture instructions. I'm guilty! Although I have not used this product yet, the assembly was fairly easy. It appears to be a good design. With care and consideration, this product should last several years for home use. But if not, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT for $115?? Some people spend that much on coffee in a week.

I read some of the reviews before I bought this. I'm not sure why some people complained about how hard it was to assembly. The directions are straight forward and all you need is a Phillips head screwdriver. That's it... from starr to finish it took me 30-40mins. Going slow. Anyways after the assembly I followed the directions on the break-in period and then it was time to grill! And it didn't disappoint! For $100 this is a very excellent choice. Its large enough to fit multiple foods, vegetables, and smoke off to the side. It has a great front table, underneath storage, and is very easy to move around with the wheels. Not only does it cook great, its extremely easy to disassemble for cleaning and disposal of the ash. Highly recommended!
