Perfect small grill

Would Recommend

This is my second Char Griller product. I needed a small grill due to downsizing and this is just perfect.

Perfect size for a single person

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought last year late summer in time to have a few neighbors over. It was perfect. I love that it has cast iron grates to cook on. I wish it was built a bit sturdier. It is top heavy so the the frame is wobbly, making it feel less stable when moving/wheeling it from the garage to the patio.

Charcoal All The Way

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally switched over to the charcoal grill from being a die hard propane, much easier, mindset. Bought this lil grill last spring and have not touched my propane grill once. Have done everything on this grill even smoked a turkey. Love the flavor and just fun to figure out the different ways such as indirect, smoking, direct heat, ways of grilling. This was the best purchase I've made in a long time. Highly recommend!!

Perfect sized

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this grill for my deck. It fits perfect on my deck. It holds a lot of food. I love the ash pan it just slides out which makes it easier to clean. The best grill I ever had. Perfect for seniors too! I highly recommend if you don’t need a large grill but a grill that’s perfect for you!

Excellent for apartments and small spaces.

Would Recommend

The Char-Griller Patio was the best Father's Day gift ever! I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a fifth-floor apartment, and it's fantastic. It's compact and practical. And with the chimney starter, everything's sorted. I use it every week! The only thing is that the side shelf should fold down to take up less space. Wonderful!

good grill for limited space

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this grill to take camping. Its small enough that I consider it portable, and easy to pack with camping gear. Big enough to cook enough for 4 people. Easier to pack up than my big grill. Perfect for those with limited space

Tough little grill

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy how durable and easy to grill on this BBQ, easy to roll and store just right size and easy to clean.iron grating. and ash tray. I added some adaptations such as extra wheels to enhance its mobility, added tool tray to have easy access to tools and other features. Optional temperature gauges to regulate smoke and sear meat as needed

Great grill at a great price!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a charcoal grill for some time and when I found the CharGriller I knew that was my grill! I’ve cooked the usual hot dogs and burgers but I’ve also done some potatoes and pizza! I love experimenting with different foods and different wood for smoking! If you’re looking for a smoker charcoal grill that’s not a big one, buy this one now! You will be happy you did.

Patio Pro

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Patio Pro is excellent for my patio. When I don't need the larger grill. It's very easy to store and the food taste is excellent. I recommend this grill if space is limited. Sarah

The price was right, and the quality is top notch!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife bought this grill on clearance. It has turned into my go to grill for almost all of my grilling needs. Since then I've purchased an offset smoker, and it's performed to perfection everytime that I've put it to work. Now my Weber kettle is just taking up space!

The Patio Pro is the way to go!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over a decade ago I received a Patio Pro grill and used it a couple of times a month, and loved it! It is the perfect size for grilling a cookout meal for a mid sized family of five. Buy it!
