Royal Gourmet CC1830SC Charcoal Grill and Offset Smoker with Protective Cover

Landon: My old charcoal grill/offset smoker rusted really bad and it was time to get a new one. I found this one for a great price here on Amazon and bit the bullet. I have used it several times a week for months now and it’s still in great shape. It’s very durable and budget friendly.

However, there is a negative with my grill. The top part of the shell was bent. As a result it would not close properly, leaving gaps between the top and bottom of the shell. This gap causes a lot of smoke and heat to escape. This can be fixed by getting a gasket by “LavaLok,” which can also be found here on Amazon.

I still absolutely recommend this grill. For the price you can’t beat it. And the issue of smoke escaping can be fixed for very, very cheap.

IMota: Love this grill took me a minute to assemble it but instructions where easy to understand
Used it yesterday and I love how it cooked the food. The attachable tables are a plus. Another plus is it’s easy to clean and the cover is another plus cause it rained in the morning thank god it came with that

Jose OlivasJose Olivas: Asador de bajo presupuesto que te permitirá comenzar a cocinar distinto (ahumar, cocción lenta, controlar temperatura y humo, etc) y no "solo" a asar carne. LEE INSTRUCCIONES!! (importante imprégnar con aceite vegetal por dentro antes de cada uso, encenderlo un par de horas en su primer uso, siempre limpiar y remover cenizas/carbón después de cada uso, etc...)

Rene: No me gustó que llegó sin funda para cubrir como lo decía el nombre al promocionar, si me gusta el asador en si es práctico y de buen tamaño

DRDR: The media could not be loaded.  For earlier models, I can't say if there was a design flaw but on this model, the hinge folds internally and screws to the offset box with the door open. It will fit perfectly and latch correctly. It doesn't lay outward like other reviews show.
Also, ALL bolts and screws should be attached by hand initially and barely tight to avoid cross-threading. Once things are in place and square for a section, then tighten with a screwdriver. A power driver may strip threads or warp the metal leading to cracked paint and finish failure upon burn-in. Hope this helps. Happy smoking!
I will update after a few uses. I can see the possibility of having to apply grill seals in certain areas to prevent smoke loss.
First use update:
Followed burn in explicitly-lightly oiled interior, single layer of coals, temp not over 400°, two hours, then cool down.
While waiting for charcoal to get ready in the chimney starter, realized the ash pan hangs from the bottom of the hanging charcoal grate, not clear in the instructions.

First smoking update:
Bacon wrapped shrimp cheese jalapeno poppers! Turned out great! One hour smoke with 15-20 briquets...

Viviana Cruz: Muy fácil de armar, siempre que lo hemos usado todo ha marchado bien, la carne no se pega en las rejillas y se cocina rápido, así que nadie tiene que esperar.
