5.0 out of 5 stars Best grill I have ever owned, March 23, 2008

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.

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!

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.
