This grill is super flexible for a unit this size. For starters it was easy to assemble, is compact enough to transport on a car's trunk. It allows you to cook either with direct heat or indirect heat so you can use it as regular grill for your burgers and steaks or as a tailgating smoker. Because you can add wood or charcoal without opening the lid, you can add just enough fuel to maintain your desired temperature. Easy to lift the charcoal tray to bring the heat close or away from what you are cooking. I recommend you wrap both the charcoal tray and bottom tray with foil for easier cleaning. I would definitely recommend this grill

The pros: It’s a good size for 2-4 people. Assembly wasn’t bad, although one hole was poorly tapped and stripped the screw. The adjustable height is a great feature, and the front door for adding charcoal is convenient. It is very good for car-camping, picnicking, and can even be used at home. The metal body should hold up a while before rusting, although stainless steel would be a nice improvement.The bad: the plastic handle on upper vent melted immediately. The plastic caps atop the legs melted where they touched the body. The grill grate is poor, cast iron would be better. The lid needs a latch for transport, as does the ash tray. The lid handle gets hot, should have a spiral handle like door latch. Overall, it seems to cook well. It has some convenient features and is a practical size for different uses. But there are a few quality issues that could be improved for better value. It’s much better than 3 stars, barely rates a 4. With just a few improvements it would be an easy 5.

Love this grill, was perfect for tailgating. One thing, it comes in literally as many pieces as it possibly could so plan some time to get it put together. Directions made it simple, just took time.

Grill looks great, assembly takes a little patience, all screw holes lined up perfectly.Grill body and lid could be a little thicker steel but good quality. Grill is larger than i imagined.Instructions were easy to follow and even had lots of grilling and cooking tips.I’m really happy with this purchase.

UPDATE: So, after a couple of cancellations due to California's wildfires, I finally was able to go on a five night camping trip and put The Royal Gourmet grill through its paces for dinners. In a word, awesome. I did inch thick USDA Prime NY Strips and pork tenderloin (which, obviously require different heat levels and cooking methods).With the pork, I did a dry rub of kosher sea salt, onion & garlic powders, black pepper and Adobo, served sliced with salsa verde drizzled over the slices. That was cooked low and slow, the ability to set the level of the coals (with mesquite) and close the grill cover while maintaining a consistent temperature was key. They came out perfectly cooked, moist and very very flavorful.The steaks were, obviously, a different method, coals brought up to their highest position, sea salt, onion & garlic powders, black pepper rubbed in for a seared crust to keep the juices in. Grilling hot and fast, with finger testing the doneness on the grill, they came out perfectly seared juicy and most of all, rare. I did steaks twice on this trip and they were absolutely consistent.This grill is everything I hoped it would be!Original ReviewIt took a while to assemble but the directions were comprehensive and once together, this thing is bullet proof — and that means it's heavy but I'm a car camper and I value comfort and great food over lightness...I haven't used it yet because it's been stormy here since I received the grill but I'm looking forward to a dry day so that I can finish the recommended assembly (they want you to lightly rub vegetable oil throughout the interior of the grill and then cook for two hours with briquettes to season the interior).I bought this to replace a cheap, unstable suitcase style grill that I took on camping trips for years and this one, with the obvious improvements of adjustable coal height, the ash removal tray and the door for adding charcoal is vastly superior. The thermometer in the lid is nice but I probably won't be cooking anything that requires it while camping. I like the fact that it's large enough to fit a small Weber chimney inside it for packing and storage (see photo) because I hate the taste of lighter fluid on the mesquite chunk charcoal that I prefer to cook with.This is going to make camping even better than it already is!

Assembly is extensive 25ish pieces each involving an average of about three screws. Figure an hourDesign is very clever. The only ding there is the use of cotter pins to secure the lid. The “axle” is in a tight interior space and securing the cotter pins is not easy. I spent about five minutes on the second one. Otherwise this is a terrific assembly designMy grade is 97/100Another part of the equation is precise machining. Even a great design is frustrating if holes don’t line up. There was only one issue and it was minor. I’m going 97/100 againThe last piece of the puzzle is instructions. These were good not great. Only the legs are identified with stickers and it’s a shame that all of the major parts weren’t treated similarly. It would have made life easier because not every part was obvious from the included line drawings in the assembly instructions. Overall 93/100For context, I hate these projects. However this grill was perfect for me so I bought despite knowing the assembly would be more time consuming than I preferThe final product feels very sturdy despite my limited assembly skills. If you have the patience this is a good grill to this point. The features and build quality indicated that it should cook very well and it did on the maiden voyage. Very hot lump charcoal put a great sear on a ribeye and the warming rack allowed a 15 minute roast to perfect medium rareAsh management and heat control are both very good
