Char-GrillerChar-Griller E3018 Smokin' Ace Charcoal Grill, Black

The smoker is great. The instructions were easy to follow and once built it looked first class. It’s solid and can hold up to high winds.

Part arrived bent but easy to fix. The warmer grid that attaches to the hood was missing but I never use it anyways but it’d be nice to get what we pay for… this is why I gave it 4 stars. The grill is good for the price.

I bought this as a previous owned grill at a small discount. I would never do it again the weather had changed so we did not put it together until recently purchased last summer almost every piece was damaged and it took a lot of work. Just have been things back to where it could be assembled.

I am not 100% sure how the smoker would have worked out since it was so damaged during shipping/delivery. Most every piece was bent to some degree which required reshaping the piece during assembly. Because there was no decent seal around the seams from being bent, we had to stand over it for five hours to keep the smoke rolling and attempt to control the temperature. We ended up pulling the brisket off the smoker and finishing it in the oven. The firebox paint started flaking off after the second hour, temps never went over 350, and we struggled to keep it at 225. But, the paint wasn't having it.Well, it's a lesson learned.

My husband was able to quickly and easily assemble this grill on his own right out of the box in about an hour while I was at work. It would probably take less time with two people. It’s very attractive and the grates are quality stuff. So far we haven’t had any unexpected paint issues, and it works great for our needs!
