Regal 400 Charcoal Grill

A standard charcoal grill (no offset firebox) with cast iron cooking grids and a 500 sq in primary cooking area.

$599Approx. MSRP

A budget way to try charcoal-offset smoking, but expect a learning curve and skip it if you want consistent low-and-slow results without much fuss.

Pros

  • Compact charcoal/offset combo lets you grill directly and smoke on the same unit
  • Reasonably priced entry into charcoal offset cooking versus premium stick burners
  • Some owners report excellent results once they learn the airflow
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Requires real fire-management skill to hold steady low temperatures
  • Higher fuel/charcoal consumption than heavier-built competitors
  • Documentation/assembly inconsistency reported during a mid-cycle redesign
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Assembly instructions have reportedly not matched the included video/booklet on some units due to a running redesign
  • Same thin-gauge-steel heat retention weakness reported across this offset/charcoal line
  • Paint bubbling on interior surfaces reported by some owners
