The Char Griller Pro Deluxe is a well thought out charcoal grill and smoker that has a very reasonable price. I simply don't know why anyone spends a lot of money on a Weber or other expensive brand. You can get a lot of grilling value for less money, in my opinion.

While most grills have shoddy construction, this Char-Griller is built of heavy steel and the cooking grates are cast iron. These look like they will last for a long time. I like the grilling surface as well. It is quite large and easy to get to when hot. The charcoal grate is adjustable up and down, and is also easy to take out for cleaning. The warming shelf is another thing I like as it holds a good amount of food. My prior grill just didn't seem to have much warming space but I assumed this was the case with all grills, but not this one. Another thing I really like is the built in thermometer. It is very accurate when using it as a smoker or grill.

There are a couple things I don't like about it that have caused me to give it a 4 star rating. The hooks for the charcoal grate are kinda small and not up to par with the other components. The legs underneath don't seem as solid as the body either. Not that they have broken down on my unit but I will keep an eye on them.

Really though, these are minor gripes and for the money you can't go wrong with the Char Griller Pro Deluxe. It's easy to use for smoking and grilling, and produces great tasting food time and time again. The price is another plus and many reviews I read were right on in their praise for it. I recommend it to everyone who asks about it.
