Should you buy it?
The Char-Griller Wrangler is aimed at charcoal cooks who want barrel-grill performance without an enormous footprint. Its 640-square-inch cooking area provides useful family capacity, while the insulated steel body helps retain heat and smoke. Cast-iron grates provide a robust cooking surface and a side damper lets you regulate airflow during grilling. The EasyDump ash pan makes post-cook cleaning simpler and wheels improve mobility around the patio. An optional Char-Griller side firebox can also convert the Wrangler into an offset-style smoker later, giving the BBQ a useful upgrade path for anyone wanting to experiment with low-and-slow cooking.
