Summary: Best Compact Ever! 2008-08-25
Comment: I absolutely love this grill! Good sturdy quality construction. Unlike some of the other reviewers I assembled it in no time. I'm a good tinkerer so don't see where the others had problems. This grill gives you great control as you can add charcoal through the side sliding charcoal drawer without disturbing your cooking. Control's flames as well as a weber kettle but simpler to use with the hinged top.For a compact grill this is the best and I've owned many. Don't let the size fool you, it grills a good amount of food. Was able to grill 3 giant sized stuffed pork chops and a whole cut up chicken at the same time with no problem. If youre looking for a smaller grill to save space with great smoking ability this is the one.

Summary: OK, but quite a tin lizzy... 2008-08-18
Comment: First, my friends, you're thinking of buying this because you don't want to spend close to or over 100 bucks, and you're tired of wrestling with that huge Weber lid. So, be prepared. The box it comes in is NOT meant for shipping. There's absolutely no extra padding whatsoever. The fact that it didn't come with a big dent in it speaks for the thickness of the metal. Bad welding job, though, lots of gaps in the joints of the cooking box. BEFORE YOU START, make DARN sure you own a rachet set. I can't imagine putting this together with the "pliers" that they recommend. It calls for 7/16, I used a 15/32, that worked. You WILL be missing pieces. The directions keep talking about Locking Washers...there are only 3 in the whole set. I can't believe the manufacturer has been sending this with missing pieces for YEARS. So, take one of the real locking washers, take one of the flat washers, and go to the hardware store and buy 5 of each before you even begin. I got a piece of beef fat from the local butcher *free*, so I slathered that on the inside and the grates and followed the directions to season it. It uses only little pile of briquets. Get the normal briquets, not the Matchlight. I really think they make things taste weird, just like the grill directions say. It wasn't all that hard to put together, just pay attention to what you're trying to do. Once you have the legs going in the right direction, you're fine. The drawer front was welded a little crooked, and since the metal is thick there's no way to correct it, so there's a gap between the drawer and cooking barrel, but I guess it will be OK. I'm sure it will be fine for the very few times that I BBQ, I'm just frankly disappointed in how frustrating it is to be missing pieces and the bad welding job. I just hate spending my money on bad quality, even if it is ultimately cheaper.

Summary: Char-Griller Rocks 2008-08-12
Comment: Just used it for a small gathering. Love it, especially the separated draw which I can refill with ease. Though the top paint burned off a little when I tried to light up the charcoal, it wasn't a big deal to me. Definitely love it.

Summary: good performance for the $ 2008-08-03
Comment: The assembly instructions left a little to the imagination, and a few washers were missing, but I'm fairly adept so I got it together. The sliding charcoal drawer is a great idea and handy, but the end doesn't fit properly over the opening and the gaps allow air into the grill when I want to seal it to kill the coals. On the up-side, the cooking performance is excellent. A deeper bed of coals generates volcanic heat, and a shallow bed generates a long, steady heat perfect for slow-roasting a turkey or marinated pork shoulder. Yum!

Summary: Decent BBQ -- good for the price 2008-07-02
Comment: 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...
