Charbroil Kettleman® TRU-Infrared™ Charcoal Grill

I love the bright cherry red color, the cooking grill %26 the charcoal grid were very heavy %26 sturdy. I'm a 69 year old woman %26 putting this BBQ pit together was difficult for me because the instruction had pictures no words to explain things, but I put it together. To me, beautiful pit, very heavy %26 sturdy. Well worth the money. It will last for many years. The pit was packaged very effective to avoid damage. I also bought the cover, heavy to protect %26 fits great. Theres going to be a lot of BBQ cooking, going on.

I love this grill. This is my second one; the first lasted ten years. The grate is nice and thick and won't rust out. I like how you can control the heat over various parts of the grill by spreading out the coals. This is different than a Weber kettle grill where you heap the coals. Will replace this with another Kettleman, but that won't be for a long while as this one is holding up really well.

The directions and nuts and bolts were easy to understand and put together. i have not used it yet but am sure it will be great plus I am replacing an old charcoal grill that is about 28 years old Martha Stewart Grill

And weak point is front leg. Weld broke, wobble and unsafe to use/move. I wish it had 4 legs. Was able to fix it with few screws and brackets but it should have been designed better in the first place. Indirect grilling/smoking works great. Direct grilling is also good but not for all products. Like temperature control, ash removal, infrared grate works great ( no hot/cold spots) and 0 flares. Great grill with 1 weak point as mentioned.

I've had mine for two years with regular use (couple times per week). LOVE that, if used properly, there's no hot spots and you can use about half the charcoal you otherwise might use in a differently designed bbq. However, the leg attachment should be rethought as it does not serve as a sturdy base.

I've had my grill for about 5 years. It is easy to use. For the price it is a good purchase to last 3/4 years. The grate is only in good shape for two years max, then rusts. The lip on my grill is now peeling and there is an over all lean backwards to the cooking surface. I have tighten all the bolts and checked the internal hardware, no help.

I think it's a good product it works well as far as the grilling Factor goes but after a month of use the leg broke off the weld from the grill and now it's unusable I've been trying my best to manufacture whatever I can to hold it up but it's pretty dangerous to do it that way considering it's an item that's on fire and I don't want anything else to catch on fire because of it falling over. It definitely should last longer than a month I'm just finally getting around to registering this item because I have to do a warranty exchange and hopefully they fix this on updated models and what they're replacing it with hopefully

It's raining outside so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Assembly instructions could have been clearer but I finally got it together. It looks great and seems sturdy!

No matter how much charcoal you use it get's way to hot and the food sticks and burns on the outside and not done on the inside. Had to purchase 2 grates and now they are unavailable. I'm going to try and put a regular grill grate on and use smoker tubes to make a smoker out of it. Wish me luck

Switched from a pellet grill back to charcoal. This is not a good one. Grilling surface is way too close to the charcoal. No way to close off the lower vents. Any grease that drips down is an instant flare up, then its taking the food off and starting the oven while people wait for food.
