Great idea, ok implementation June 15, 2009
By Ty J. Rost
I used a Weber charcoal grill for years. I used it to grill and smoke. I loved the taste of charcoal, but finally got tired of the hassle. When I saw the duo, I thought my prayers had been answered. They were....but not really.This is definitely the most versatile grill on the market (I added the smoker box) but they could have done so much more to make it a 'great' grill. When I saw the price tag, I was worried about the craftmanship. My worries were justified.First, the materials that the grill is made out of are pretty good. The steel is heavy, the grills are solid, and the frame is rigid. The problem is the design and craftsmanship. A previous reviewer complained about the wheels being cheap plastic. Chargriller must have taken the advice, because the wheels that I have are fairly solid. It took about 2 hours to put the grill together by myself. While putting it together, I noticed the charcoal side and smoker are far from air-tight, not good for charcoal and smoking. You want a very tight charcoal grill so temperature can be controlled precisely by the dampers (the Weber I had was as tight as a drum). This grill is far from air-tight. The area around the lid has about a 1/4 inch gap and the smoker has many many areas where the pieces don't fit together perfectly. There are also a few holes in the smoker where screws for the feet would have gone (the smoker can also be a standalone grill). All these gaps and cracks make it nearly impossible to control the heat. With all the dampers closed, I should be able to smother the fire/coals/wood, but the grill burns at 400+ degrees even with all the dampers closed!Other Cons:- When the lids are open, the warming racks go up/back right over the lid. Anything that drips off the warming rack goes right down the lid and onto the ground behind the grill. I found this out the hard way after an afternoon of cooking burgers. What a mess!- There are no bumpers around the grilling perimeter. One bad spatula or tong move and your meat will slide right off in any direction! They should have at least put a bumper in the back!- The joints aren't tight. Any grease that drips down on the propane side in the corners between the bottom and side pieces of the grill goes right between the two pieces of metal and drips on the propane tank.- No natural gas optionPros:- Propane, charcoal, smoker, side stove. Nuff said- Cover that was ordered separately covers everything, including smoker box.- Lots of grilling surface- Grill plates are nice, solid, iron.All in all, I would have paid $500 for this grill if it were of better quality. I'm not to upset, because I feel I got what I paid for, a substandard grill at a low price.

Great Grill! October 6, 2008
By P. Kelly
Ok, so this is for the grill, NOT the price. Amazon's price on this item is WAY too high but that isn't what the review is for... I got mine at a sporting goods store for under $250 so shop around.This is a fantastic grill, it is really versitile.Pros:- Allows you to cook with charcoal, gas, or smoke (with the optional side firebox)- The 3 burners on the gas side are close to the cooking surface which makes it really easy to control the cooking temperature.- The side firebox somes with cooking grates for grilling 1-2 steaksCons:- The grease pan is difficult to clean- The ash tray can be cumbersome to remove- It could really use some better wheels, this is a HEAVY grill if you have the firebox attached and moving it around is tough.- No option for using natural gas as a fuel sourceThe Cons are all relatively minor in my opinion. This is a great grill, I'd buy another one for sure.

Super Grill January 13, 2009
By Keith D. Bates
I did not purchase the grill on Amazon, way too much money. Lowes has it for $329. Only problem is the wheels. Chargriller customer sevice wasn't helpful. I purchased new steel wheels and a 1/2 diameter metal steel rod and it fixed the problem. I plan on purchasing the side fire box and will install wheels on the other end of the grill. With the side box it makles it very heavy to cart around.

Price too high at $400
You can purchase the same grill on Lowes for $299. They also do a 10% military discount which will take care of taxes. Save your money.

Poor quality
I thought a grill with both gas and charcoal would be great. This grill however is not! The firebox on the propane side burnt through near the control valves, making the gas side... Read more

Good Grill. Practical and Enjoyable to Use. A Bit Wobbly.
This grill can be had periodically from Lowe's for about 200 bucks, so forget Amazon's ridiculously high price. Read more
