Great fortight budgetsfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A solid budget charcoal barrel grill for beginners who want real charcoal flavor and don't mind a pre-use seasoning routine to head off paint bubbling.

Pros

  • 916 sq in of cooking space for a budget price (roughly $230-300)
  • Front sliding door lets you add charcoal without removing the cooking grates
  • Front-adjustable charcoal tray gives more heat control than a fixed grate
  • Non-stick grates and decent smoke retention praised by owners
  • Loads of cooking room — 916 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Paint quality is inconsistent out of the box
  • Side shelf is small compared to bigger models in the line
  • Thin-gauge steel typical of this price tier
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Paint on the firebox reported bubbling/peeling after the first seasoning burn or first cook
  • Assembly bolts described as cheap metal that break, with some owners swapping in stainless hardware
