  • Great for fast cooking - Poor Temperature control
Color: Black
Been using this grill for 5-years, overall I like it BUT it has a few serious short comings 1- The grill grate design is great at preventing flare-ups BUT hard to clean and will eventually rust. I bought a 2nd one (OEM) which also rusted out, cost me $80, so the 3rd one I bought was solid cast iron cost me $70. 2- Poor Temperature control. - Large airspace in the back hinge of the dome lid can not be closed or adjusted, therefore the back portion of the grill will always run significantly hotter. Also there is no air flow control for the vent holes around the bottom of the kettle. And the dome air vent is located in the center of the dome, very poor design if you want a hot and warm zone. 3- The distance between charcoal grate and the cooking grill grate is about 4", This is fantastic for fast grilling and searing, but very poor for indirect cooking or overall temperature control, basically this grill runs HOT, HOT, HOT! 4- The temperature thermometer is a joke, it's off by 50 degrees. 5- Legs are very wobbly, aka spaghetti legs. So why I have I kept this grill for 5 years? 1- Runs super hot, especially with the after market cast iron grates. I get fantastic sear on my steaks, burgers and chicken. Great crust on the outside, very juicy on the inside. (BTW people who like reverse searing should seek help from a therapist) 2- Uses less charcoal, since the cooking grates sit about 4-inches above the charcoal, I use about 1/3 less charcoal. 3-Speed- From cold grill to dinner on my table I'm done in 20-30min and I don't feel as bad about wasting as much charcoal as a Weber. so if you're looking for a multi-purpose grill that can be used a whole afternoon during a kids party, can double as a smoker, with great temperature control, hard pass on this one. But if you want lots of heat, speed, great sear and use less charcoal, then this is it. ... show more

  • Great Grill
Color: Black
Exactly what I wanted! Performs as it should. I have a pellet grill and a griddle, however, I prefer the charcoal grill for most of my cooking. Just be sure you have someone to help put it together. Not that it's hard to put together, it's just awkward to hold everything and insert and tighten screws all at the same time keeping the legs straight and keeping the basically useless bottom shelf in place. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great grill with plenty of area to cook for 2-4 people. ... show more

  • Charbroil has successfully reinvented the charcoal grill...
Color: Black
I'm 70 years old and I've been grilling my whole adult life, so I actually know what I'm doing. For all that time I thought fighting greasy flareups was part and parcel to charcoal grilling. I went to gas for a while and spent a lot of money only to find out I missed the flavor imparted by charcoal. So, I read the reviews and found that there was really only one legitimate complaint about the Kettleman. The front single leg is poorly engineered and wobbles right from the gitgo. I've not addressed that issue, yet, but will be getting to it soon enough by adding some additional bracing to make that connection to the kettle more rigid. I know that doesn't sound very encouraging, but except for that one minor flaw this grill is PERFECT. I nicked one star in my rating for that wobbly leg and deservedly so. My advice to you is don't let the leg stop you from buying this grill. It's far superior to anything Weber sells and I've owned a bunch of them in my lifetime. And remember that Weber has been the standard for decades and that every other kettle is basically a Weber clone. Kamado kettle smokers are different and operate differently. I just sold my kamado smoker and bought this Kettleman. I don't intend to smoke with it, though. I've bought a Masterbuilt electric smoker for my low and slow smoking. And therein lies the rub here. You simply can not ask any one charcoal appliance to do everything well. I know Charbroil says the Kettleman is a great smoker and it might be, but a dedicated electric smoker will give you infinitely better temperature control and that's the name of the game in low and slow. Smoking is all about precise temp control. Another cool thing about the Kettleman is that you no longer have to fight flareups and the charred mess they create. You can even grill high fat content 85% hamburger patties without fear of flareups while you're in the fridge getting another beer. The vent system is part of Charbroil's innovation and it's a bit counter intuitive. The good news is it actually works much better than a tradition Weber. I had my own doubts about the "infrared" system, but as it turns out it's the real deal. I had my doubts given that the coals are so close to the cooking surface, but that's the ingenious part. This thing grills beautifully and it performs infinitely better than any of my Weber's. Grill marks, no problem and easy as pie. Even cooking across the entire width of the grilling surface is no problem. The heat is way more evenly distributed than a Weber. My only advice to you is that you gauge the doneness of your meat with an instant read thermometer and not by touch or sight or time. This grill is so efficient that it cooks quicker than Webers and so I overcooked some expensive steaks before I got the hang of it, but no more. Oh, one last thing. Weber's are a pain to clean out. If you've ever owned a Weber then you know that even their newest design for ash removal is still inferior. It's still very messy, especially in the wind. This Kettleman has a cleanout pan that is simplicity itself. It's wide enough to allow the kettle ashes to automatically fall to the bottom and then you simply slide out the ash pan and pour out the waste. It's perfect. ... show more

  • Won't save your fuel
Color: Black
The promotional video shows a person controlling the temperature and actually conserving fuel by closing the top grill vents. This did not work, at least not for me. I believe the problem lies in the fact that the back of the grill cover has a large opening, even when the cover is closed, to include the vents. Perhaps, there is an answer. Perhaps there is an extra part that did not come with my grill, but I looked at my parts list and everything it showed is attached and connected as specified. ... show more

  • Great grill
Color: Blue
The grill heats up fast and hot. Be careful moving the grill because it is not stable and it will fall.
