Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this grill or one just like it for the past 15 years. My current grill is 2 years old at home and the same model is 4 years old at my vacation property. All the grills have the same cooking properties, predictable hot spot and warm zones. My 2 grills and the one preceding have functioned amazingly. The grates season well and last for years. The charcoal pan will eventually need replacement. I averaged 6 years out of my last charcoal ...

The best charcoal grill ever
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Char-Griller Pro five years ago after using my nextdoor neighbor's to grill a staek. I love the adjustabe grate and the airflow damper and chimney. These features make it grill food excilent and very efficient on gharcoal.

Long Lasting
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure if this is my grill because mine is right at 20 years old but it looks almost exactly like this one and is a Char-Griller and looks almost new. I will never get rid of it. It is the perfect grill. The cast iron grates are exceptional. I've only had to replace the ash pan once in 20 years and that's my fault for being lazy. Can't go wrong with this grill if you are looking for one to last.

Built to Last!
Would RecommendI've been using my Chargriller for about 15 years and it's still working just like it should. I had to replace the ash pan once but that's the only thing that has worn out.

Lots of space for coming for a crowd
Would RecommendI bought mine nearly ten years ago & I’ve been very happy all these years with this grill. The space it gives for cooking has allowed me to cook for large family gatherings of 30-40 people many times over the years without a hitch. Six spatchcocked chickens at once even!

This grill is great for everything!
Would RecommendI've had this grill for several years and it's great for everything! I use it when I'm smoking low and slow chicken or ribs or high heat for steaks! It's a definite go to for our family of 6 (5 guys and myself) or when we entertain large gatherings!!!

Exellent Grill
Would RecommendI've had this grill for several years now and it's aways grilled every time to perfection.
From Char-Griller
Love this grill
Would RecommendWe've had our grill for 3 years now and just love using real wood charcoal for the flavor it imparts to both chicken & ribs. We always grill up a large batch so there's plenty of leftovers!
From Char-Griller
Consistent cooking. Ease of emptying ashes.
Would RecommendI have had my grill six years and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. However, I do have one complaint. I am currently using the second ash pan. The original tray developed a hole that continued to widen with use, I assume because of heat. Now the second pan also has a hole.

Chargriller

Great Grill
Would RecommendNothing beats the flavor of cooking with this grill. I use small smoker box with mine and my 95 year old mother in law loves the flavor.
From Char-Griller
Great for kabobs!
Would RecommendWe have used this grill for 7 years now! It’s the preferred grill for grilling kabobs. The metal skewers sit perfectly on the grill.
From Char-Griller
All around great grill
Would RecommendWe've had this grill for maybe 10 years, having burned through one charcoal pan & about 1/2 way through the 2nd. It's been the center of dozens of family gatherings & does everything you could want a great grill to do. The heavy duty sheet metal construction of the grill is still rock-solid. If this one ever dies, there's no question I'd be buying another.
