Traeger Pellet Grill: Masterbuilt 10040106 Kingsford 18-1/2-Inch Kettle Grill Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I was interested in going from propane to charcoal but I wanted the convienance of an ash catcher. Of course Weber grills get the most ink, but I was bothered by how much they increased the price for an ash catcher (and it really is a simple, low-cost, yet useful addition) and that I didn't know the quality of a Weber anymore since they changed where they are manufactured.

So I went for this grill and have been very pleased. There is some assembly and it took my wife (who is very handy) and I over an hour. Once it is set-up it works great. Easy to wheel, ash catcher works great, the handle in my experience on the top has never gotten hot, and it is the same material to resist weathering as the Webers. The size is ok for 2-4 people. After that you will need a bigger grill or cook in a few shifts.

Since I have never had a Weber I can't compare but I have now used it a half dozen times, with excellent results every time. Be sure to get a coal chimney starter, they are fantastic, especially in windy weather. I would recommend this one Weber 87886 Chimney Starter
