Royal GourmetCC1830S 30" BBQ Charcoal Grill and Offset Smoker | 811 Square Inch cooking surface, Outdoor for Camping | Black

This is a solid buy for the price. I prefer charcoal over propane any day. I haven't used the smoker part of it yet, but the steaks, burgers, and chicken all came out amazing. The manual says it takes 40 mins to put together, it took me over an hour, make sure you have someone help you with the lid. Other than that, easy to put together and solid.

Definitely took the advice to heart that the bolt holes and seams are going to leak delicious smoke if not addressed in the assembly process. Used the 1/2” felt adhesive and red RTV, gave it 48 hours to cure and now it’s working like a champ. I added a better thermometer and drilled a new hole to use the included thermometer for the offset side. I also added a barrel lock to compensate for the felt that kept the lid from sitting flush. Total touch time was 3 hours, the instructions were practically worthless. A cover is needed 100%.

Easy to assemble and a good quality item.Really nice utility for our new deck.

This product is a pretty good deal for your money but it does require at least two people to set up and there is a lot of parts and screws once you get it all set up and together for the money it’s OK be prepared to spend about 30 minutes to 45 minutes to put together kind of flimsy it’s not steel it’s all steel so it can bend very easily but if you take care of it and you put a cover on it, it should last for quite a while. Remember to clean your grill off before you put them away they’ll last longer that way can’t beat it for the price.

Great price for quality charcoal grill/smoker. My daughter loves it.

This grill is fantastic!! It's cheap and it's a great way to break into the world of smoking. You'll probably see a lot of reviews about this thing leaking smoking a having trouble holding a temp. They are all correct. This grill comes in 1000 little pieces, which means you'll be assembling it yourself, which also means there are no good welds/seals to keep all the smoke in. HOWEVER, when I assembled my grill sealed every single seam and bolt hole with a sealant called lavalock. It's basically a high temp caulk sealant. I also added high temp felt seals to the firebox door and main grill door. Those extra mods added $25 to the cost of the grill but they made all the difference! My grill doesn't leak smoke at all and can hold a temp like the best grills out there. I smoked short ribs in it for 5 hours and they came out amazingly. The grill only needed small inputs from me to keep the fire hot as the day went on and it burned it's fuel. This is an outstanding grill. It really is. You just have to know what you're getting into early on and spend the extra time to make sure it's properly sealed. Then you'll be grilling perfectly. I also saw a few other reviews that the paint might peel; those are all old reviews. I think the company changed their painting formula because my paint didn't peel even a little bit. Also, make sure you buy a cover (any cheap cover) and clean it out after every use so it doesn't rust. Any smoker you buy will rust if you leave it dirty after using it. Dead coals and soot attract moisture.

It’s a great grill the money

So let’s start with the cons because those are the main things I can focus on. Mind you, for $100 I’m not sure it matters much.ConsVery wobbly. It is not sturdy at all. So don’t be planning on taking it places. Luckily, I can weld some extra support to it but not everyone has that ability.Mine has an off center lid, i had to add new holes and seal the othersAssembling, it doesn’t have all of the instructions so you just have to use your best judgement. My instruction booklet was also stained, somehow. I couldn’t read it all.There is a gap that I had to seal, the smoke was pouring out the lid. It doesn’t stay hot with that gap.ProsEasy to use, helps add flavor to meats, looks pretty on my porch.
