Great forfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

Decent value for someone wanting adjustable-height charcoal control on a budget, but check the unit carefully on arrival since bent parts and warped trays are a recurring complaint.

Pros

  • 810 sq in cooking space, good capacity for the price
  • Crank-adjustable charcoal tray lets you raise/lower heat easily
  • Insulated body helps retain heat and smoke flavor
  • Loads of cooking room — 810 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Quality control is inconsistent — some units arrive with bent parts
  • Fair (not great) performance in indirect/low-heat cooking per Consumer Reports testing
  • Charcoal tray durability is a recurring complaint
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Charcoal tray reported to warp after minimal use by some owners
  • Bent/flimsy metal parts arriving damaged from the factory
  • Lid doesn't always close fully, letting smoke escape
  • Handle can loosen from heat over time
