Should you buy it?
The Char-Griller 30-inch Traditional is a sizeable charcoal BBQ aimed at cooks who want more capacity and heavier construction than a basic kettle. Its broad barrel-style cooking chamber provides plenty of room for family meals and entertaining, while cast-iron grates offer excellent heat retention for searing. Char-Griller's traditional design gives you the familiar hands-on charcoal experience with enough space to create different heat zones across the grill. The trade-off is size and weight: this is a more permanent garden BBQ than a portable grill. For cooks who regularly use charcoal, however, its substantial construction and generous cooking area make it a serious long-term option.
