Should you buy it?
The Char-Griller Pro Deluxe is built for cooks who want a more serious charcoal setup. Its heavy-duty steel body and insulated barrel construction are designed to retain heat effectively, while dual dampers give you precise control over airflow. The cast-iron cooking grates sit within a very generous 850-square-inch total cooking area, supported by a chrome warming rack. Char-Griller's EasyDump ash pan simplifies clean-up, while the side shelf and wheels add everyday practicality. It can also be converted into a Texas-style offset smoker using the optional Side Fire Box. It's considerably more substantial than a budget kettle, but the materials and capacity reflect that.
