Product Description
Kamado-style cookers date back to ancient cooking techniques where charcoal, twigs or wood were used in clay stoves to grill or smoke foods, & outstanding insulation allowed the user to achieve high temperatures with excellent heat & airflow control. Similarly, the Char-Broil Kamado uses double-walled steel insulation construction, & a closed bottom design preventing potential air leaks to deliver ultimate cooking versatility- a cooker which can be used to smoke, roast or grill your backyard favorites. With a damper mounted on top of the large folding side shelf, air is drawn in & channeled down to the bottom of the cooker, where it enters the unit & flows upwards through the cooking chamber heating the food & then out the top damper, making it easy for the griller to control the amount of air intake & internal temperature. Built-in, top-mounted temperature Gauge allows the user to closely Monitor temperature & wheels make the unit easy to move around. The removable ash pan is accessed through the top of the grill, making cleanup quick & easy, without compromising the no-openings bottom. 327 square" cooking area over porcelain-enameled cooking grates which are easy to clean. 142 square" secondary cooking surface for added versatility, & folding side shelf with integrated tool hooks for all your grilling utensils. With the ability to reach a wide variety of temperatures, the Char-Broil Kamado is the ideal cooker for grilling anything from steaks to pizza, roasting chicken & veggies, or smoking ribs, fish or brisket low & slow. Assembled dimensions: 43.8" wide x 27.1" deep x 45.8" high. Weighs 117.5 lbs.

Regarding cooks:
• I have regularly taken this grill to 900+ degrees for true high heat searing
• This grill has been instrumental for holiday cooks, thanksgiving turkey & Christmas ham
• When full with large block lump charcoal, this grill has a serous low n’ slow burn time (easily 12-18+ hours; managed one 24 hour super low n slow cook without adding more coal).
Pros:
1. All in one kamado style: Grill, Smoke, Bake
2. Price to performance exceptional
3. Metal design vs ceramics/stone means no worrying about replacement inserts
4. Side table built on. This is a seriously overlooked benefit.
5. Fits standard size aluminum trays between stone and grill grate
Cons:
1. Discontinued, so future support & replacement parts questionable
2. Need to purchase heat deflector separately
3. Reports of issues with plastic components on remodeled grills

Once assembled, the grill is extremely sturdy. It is much heavier than a standard charcoal grill, but not too heavy that it can't be moved around. The grill works as advertised; it gets up to temperature quickly and has no problem holding the heat. I have used it as both a smoker and a grill.
If there is one thing that I see can be improved on, it would be the service tray. The brackets are a bit flimsy, and the fold operation is not smooth (it wouldn't be a bad idea to replicate Weber).
Overall, I am extremely happy with this grill. Not sure why anyone would spend $1000+ for a ceramic when you can get the same results for a 1/3 of the price.
On mine the thermometer reads 50 degrees f too high, 250 degrees reads 300. Used a digital thermal probe to verify the temp. I had to be a metal smith to get the table to fit, one corner that mounts to the grill was bent. Assembly was easy.
It is also very efficient with lump charcoal.
Having said all this, I have two suggestions. First I rapidly noticed that the grill handle did not stay well secured to the top permitting much heat to be lost, and I tried several adjustments to fix this. I finally hit on the idea of using stove and fireplace cement/mortar to fix the problem. I filled the handle's aluminum escutcheon with mortar and also forced mortar into the handle screw hole on each side of the Kamander's cover. This did the trick. Next, grill assembly does take time - I needed about 3 hours. I also noticed that several parts did not go together easily if they were tightened down too soon, particularly for the air track that fits between the bottom and side of the grill. Otherwise, assembly was easy (just time consuming) as the directions were pretty clear. Finally, be aware that an evil Dr Frankenstein attached the product label to the side shelf with a glue strong enough to repair a battleship. It took me 30 minutes to remove starting with a window scraper before I discovered that Paint Thinner was the correct solvent for the job. It one point I was considering shooting the grill with my shotgun and buying a ceramic grill instead. This single act is the reason for 3 stars as the grill is truly a 5 star product. Happy grilling.
