 Best grill I have ever owned Mar 23, 2008
By David deForrest
I have had one of these for 2+ years and use it a lot. Without question this is the best grill I have ever owned. Super-heavy real cast iron grate, loads of cooking space, easy enough to dump the ashes etc., lid sels well etc.
I do not own a cover for it and have kept it outdoors all this time. Still looks decent except the stained wood shelves have lost their finish. Anyone with a tiny bit of ambition could re-stain them. But the painted finish on the grill itself is quite durable.
Space like this gives me a great deal of control. I have room to build a big fire in the middle, keep a cast-iron griddle to one side and use the other edge for "holding" stuff off the direct heat etc. A real winner.
Can be bought cheaper and assembled at Lowes stores.

 Excellent grill & smoker! Aug 21, 2008
By Claudia y Saul
"Claudia y Saul"
It's just what I wanted!
I don't give it 4 stars because the warming rack has a poor quality. After the first barbecue it was a little bended and some grill wires got loose.
Pros:
1. The main grill area is 29" by 20". It has 4 small independent cast iron grates as you can see in my customer pictures. Removable at any time. The warming rack size is 1/3 of the main grilling area.
2. If you follow the smoking instructions you will have a great taste on your meats and vegetables.
3. Wood is better than charcoal.
4. It's very easy to clean. You just pull out the dump ash pan and wash it.
5. It's very easy to assembly. Follow the instructions.
6. It has a thermometer. You can keep an eye easily on the temperature.
Cons:
The quality of the warming rack. Personally, I wouldn't stop buying it for this issue but I think that Chargriller could make it better.
Finally, if you have it at your patio or outside of your house I would suggest you to cover it with something, just a precaution. Don't forget to oil the cast iron grates after cleaning. They would last longer.
I love my Chargriller Pro Deluxe!

 Char-Griller Mar 31, 2010
By Roger Westfall
I've used this unit for a few years now and it does a good job. My issue with this product is replacement parts. The only place you can seem to get parts is from the factory and the shipping is going to cost you as much or more then the parts you need. I've been everywhere and the only place who carries parts is Char-Griller. I needed replacement cast iron grates and for 4 of them it's about 36 bucks but they want 23 bucks to ship them. Stick with Weber BBQ's you can get parts at any store.

It's pretty awesome. Feb 01, 2010
By WhippinYoLegs
I had one of these about 5 years ago. It's massive with adjustable charcoal pan and in/out air. If you know how to grill with charcoal, you'll like it--if you're an idiot that thinks your a grillmaster, you will probably screw up dinner on this just as fast as you do on everything else. The only problem I had is that the grates (cast iron) got rusty after the first season, but I'm not exactly vigilant about seasoning cast iron with oil every time. If you slather those suckers up with bacon grease after you grill and brush the grates, you'll be good for a long time. Oh and the air vents remain adjustable. Some cheaper charcoal grills have friction-based air adjustments that cannot be retensioned--this one you can always tighten up. Feels a little wobbly when you drive the wheels over patio bumps, but they all do that. Works great for indirect smoking because it's wide enough to get a big drip pan in the center and many coals on the sides so you don't need to reload charcoal all day, just watch your air and temps. I gave this grill away when I moved to a different state, I kinda regret it. I love old school webers, but this thing was more tweakable and you can lift the charcoal all the way up if you're coals on the verge of dying and you don't feel like lighting off any more.

Chargriller Pro Charcoal Grill & Smoker Jul 08, 2008
By Jeff Parker
This grill is by far the best charcoal / wood burning grill I've ever owned. It was easy to assemble and I have been using it for nearly 8 years on a regular basis.
My char grill goes with me camping and supports meals for over 6 adults who love to cook & BBQ.
It will slow cook too! Building a fire is easy and with practice maintaining the perfect temperature is straightforward.
Using the side fire box "smoker" is perfect for cooking those baby-back ribs for 3 hours while you are busy watching the game or enjoying other adult activities.
After the ribs are finished, one scoop with a flat garden shovel moves the fire back to the main grill area allowing easy caramelizing of your ribs and fast cooks a few burgers for those unexpected gusts who smelled your new BBQ grill smoke.
