Unless you want a several hundred pound heavy duty smoker/griller, or a fixed unit, this is the one. I have seen and used dozens of grills and smokers, and at this price, this unit, (with what I consider the mandatory side fire box) beats them all hands down. Where to start? Approaching the unit, the top half lifts up, revealing the entire cooking grid. There's also the slow cook, warming grid that folds back into the top lid when lifted up. It is also easily removable when cooking larger items, say beer can chicken? Then there's my favorite, the original non-stick surface, a cast iron cooking grid-no cheap steel grate. This rocks! I can even put fish on this thing and the fish comes right up, NO STICKING! (Hey! Don't move your food) Cleaning is wicked easy- consists of burning off anything left when you're done, then brushing with a brass brush and wiping down with a crisco covered paper towel-it's SO easy. Already fair offset cooking because it's so big, the side fire box turns this into an honest-to-goodness smoker that will have your neighbours drooling with envy when you throw those four racks of ribs on it for 3-4 hours and have smoke infusing them and the rest of the neighbourhood. The side and front racks give you a ready place to put plates and tools, the inlet and outlet airflows are adjustable, and the temperature probe in the lid shows actual temperature, not just low/med/high. I cannot say enough good things about this grill.
Cons are the usual charcoal caveats, the side next to the side-fire box is hotter and when cooking larger feasts items need to be moved around so all items are equally cooked - gives you a chance to show off for your guests! The side fire box is a little small for regular logs, so I end up trimming logs when using them.... Read more ›

The unit arrived undamaged...It was well packaged. The price was right and Amazon shipped for FREE!
Assembly was easy and the instruction booklet clearly described the procedure.
The grill is well made and well designed. I am seasoning the grill right now with the first fire...2 chimneys of briquets for a steady 300 degree F burn with vent wide open...That's just right.
We are looking forward to grilling a big load of ribs tomorrow...Yeah!
Buy This grill if you want a bit more room...Hot side/cold side.

This great grill is well thought-out in all its details, and comes at a very reasonable price. I don't understand why anyone buys a Weber. This model is the extra-large; the "Super Pro" model will be plenty for most people.
The Char-Griller is built of heavy steel (not flimsy sheet), and the cooking grates are true cast iron grates (not light wire). The cooking surface is large and easily accessible, and the charcoal grate is adjustable up-and-down, solid, and easily removable. The grates come in several sections, which are easily removed, hot or cold, with the handy cast-iron handle. The warming shelf can be useful, and when it's in the way, it's easy to remove. Air flow is easy to control. Char-Griller's rotisserie attachment lets you roast very large beef roasts, pork loins, or chickens (I did a whole baby lamb!). The shelves, front and side, are handy, as is the built-in thermometer. The storage grate below is large and useful.
There are a few minor things that could be improved. The hooks that hold the charcoal grate are a bit small and fiddly. The side air damper is made of too-light metal, and its control tab broke off. The legs seem a little lightweight compared to the body of the grill. The rotisserie spit runs at the level of the cooking grate, so you can't use them together (a couple of grates will fit, but the charcoal will be too close for the rotisserie if it is the right distance for grilling).
But these are minor. Overall, this is a great charcoal grill, very reasonably priced.

I bought this for my husband's birthday and he has been extremely happy with it. Has lots of room to grill. Could handle a party well. Easy to set up and use. Flavors the food much better than propane ever could. Love it!

THE GOOD:
This is a great griller!! My wife and I bought it before we moved to the Philippines and brought it with us. No one here had ever seen anything like it. We've used the unit almost every weekend since we got here and I like it more and more each time we use it. We bought the grill with the side fire box which makes it great for large parties as well as small. For smaller barbecues the side fire box also doubles as a grill.
This barbecue is extremely well made. The instructions are short, concise, and clearly written. Follow them to the letter -- especially the part about NOT tightening up all the nuts and bolts until after the unit has been completely put together.
I've used Weber charcoal grills most of my life. Weber is a great grill but in my opinion the "Outlaw" beats the Weber hands down.
THE BAD
There are two support spacers that go from the side fire box to a horizontal support bar on the legs. The two spacers provided were 1" long. They needed to be 1/2" long. Not a big deal -- a hacksaw and a vise fixed the problem -- but if you don't have those available you're kind of stuck. Due to the weight of the side fire box those two supports are absolutely required.
Char~griller claims to have a rotisserie for the "Outlaw". I've sent the company two emails (4-17 & 4-22) requesting ordering information. To date (4-29) they haven't answered either one. I've contacted two other seller's of this grill and both said there is no rotisserie available from Char~griller for the "Outlaw". This doesn't make sense as the unit is drilled and punched to accept a rotisserie. Since Char~griller hasn't bothered to answer my inquiries, however, I have to conclude a rotisserie isn't available as they claimed.... Read more ›

Chargriller 2137 Grill
I received the grill with the box in terrible shape. After the grill was installed, the top cover does not fit securely with the drum, there was a vast gap.
