Ratings & Reviews for Char-Griller 18.5-in W Black Barrel Charcoal Grill

Excellent investment

I use this grill at least 2 times a week for my wife and I. Burgers, hotdogs, sausages, jalapeño poppers, and even did a 13 lb brisket on it. I was able to serve up 12 fairly large burgers all at once while hosting a small party. Clean up is easy using the tool provided to remove the grill grates and the ash pan pulls all the way out. It fits really easily in the bed of my truck with the tonneau cover down for a weekend trip to the lake. I would recommend this grill to anyone getting into charco...

Perfect size

This patio grill is just right for me and my husband. Took some time to assemble, but well worth the time. Love it!

Nice grill!

Seems to be pretty good. Small grilling area. Wheels are not the best.

Better than I Expected!

As the first time purchaser of a grill, I was pleasantly surprised on the easy assembly and overall use of this grill! During my first use of my new grill, I cooked not only enough steaks, chicken & sausage for my companion and me, but for my immediate family and left-overs too! I look forward to use my first grill more often and can't wait to try new recipes!

Easy to take in and out. Grill and smoker. Great price

I was looking for ease mobility, this is a well made grill and has delivered.

Nice little grill

Great little grill. My only con is grease leakage. I put the grill in garage after I'm done with it. The grill does leak days after. Looking at other reviews I bought some Lava Lock 650 to spread around the 4 bolts on inside of barrel and purchased 2 small drip pans that attach to the cross members on both sides underneath barrel. Now it doesn't bother me anymore.

Just right for me

I just downsized from a larger charcoal grill to this smaller one and am so glad that I did! This one works so much better and I love the cast iron grates. My grill was assembled when I purchased it and missing the utensils hooks so I added that. I get a great sear on vegetables and meat with this grill. It seems to cook hotter than my larger grill so the pork chops were a bit overdone but it was my first time using the grill. I chalk it up as a learning experience. Now I just need to get some m...

Love it, grilled the heck outta some burgers with it!

I own a gargantuan grill and dont cookout as often due to the impact it makes to the O-Zone layer. This grill is perfect for making a half dozen hamburgers with a tiny bit of charcoal. Its easy to assemble too. Here's a tutorial! https://youtu.be/4X1nmCpX9CA

Nice little grill!

Love this little guy! Perfect for 3! The cover for it fits and looks great! Although a thermometer would have been key! But overall....."satisfied".

Awesome Grill

This grill is outstanding! I use it for everything, dogs,brats, burgers, steaks, pork butts and shoulders. I have had this grill for 5 years and have only had to replace the cover, and that's because it sits on my deck all year long, summer and winter. I recommend this to everyone. Love it.

This is my 3rd Patio Pro Grill!!

I just love this little charcoal grill. As I indicated, this is my third purchase of the same grill over the years. I thought I would get one more year out of my second one, but I realized the bottom was not in good shape, and I have to cook on a wooden deck patio. I had to hire an assembly company to come put my patio grill together this time, but I have done the assembly myself in the past, but I was just not up to it this time. It was assembled on Saturday and I cannot wait to use it! I also ...

Goldilocks Grill, "Not too big, not too little, just right "

The Patio Pro is the perfect size for anyone like me who typically cooks for 2 or less people. It takes up less space than a bigger grill and does a great job too. I can usually get 2 full slabs of ribs on it and it works fine. I'm on my second Patio Pro. I left my previous one outside without a cover and the ash tray drawer rusted out after 3-4 years. This time I have the official Char Griller cover on it and I am going to be sure to dump the ashes when they cool.

5 Star Grill

Best grill I've bought in 50 years. Very efficient!

Awesome Quality Grill

Patio Pro 1616

This is one great grill for 2 or 3 people, maybe even more if timed right ! I bought my Patio Pro years ago, 15 years I think, maybe more !! It has well served it's place under the carport !

Best little smoker EVER

I love cooking on cast iron grates. they hold heat and cook very well. After 8 years I am just now replacing my first grates. The Patio Pro is the best small cooker ive ever owned. Great for small parties.

Perfect Grill

Bought this grill when we built out first home 3 years ago and still use it to this day. Great grill size, easily lets you grill 7 hamburger patties with ease. I also love grilling ribeyes and shrimp skewers on this grill. The size of the grill is perfect.

Great grill

Great little grill. Gets the job done, won a trophy for best brisket! With money won I bought a bigger chargriller.

Great little grill.

Bought it cheap on clearance and it's been the best grill I've ever owned. Gotta keep the grates oiled so they don't rust but other than that it's very easy to own. My advice is to buy a chimney starter to make lighting the charcoal simple, and definitely get the cover for it to keep the rain off it. The one they sell for it fits like a glove. The combination of charcoal grilling plus the cast iron grates is fantastic. The food that comes off this thing is always top notch. This model is small, ...
