Very nice product
Very happy with the Expert Grill Offset Charcoal Smoker Grill with Side Firebox. This is a nice product. The product had a weight of 87 lbs on arrival. My brother-in-law assembled the product for me. Assembly was a little difficult, a little long, but the finished product was worth it all. This product is much bigger than I thought it would be and weighty. I have pictures of all sides of this product and it is well worth purchasing. Haven't had a chance to actually use this product duecto the changing weather. However, this is a product that I woukd recommend to a friend due to the sturdiness of this product. Plenty of cooking space and the charcoal tray is adjustible. Grill porcelain coated steel smoker cooking surface is large enough for at least 10 burgers all at once. The stainless steel handles are comfortable to grip, ergonomic to say the least. I like the mobility of the wheels for porch or yard. I like the fixed bottom shelf that can be used for storage. The smoker box has a door that for adding charcoal. The steel is indeed heavy duty.

Poor Quality
Only used one time and heat from grill caused smoker door to fuse shut! Now we cannot use the grill. Was bought as birthday gift for my husband and assembled for him, so box was thrown away. Now stuck with a grill that I can't really use for what it was purchased for (in its entirety) and can't return to store because it was brought here in a box in a compact car. (Unless I take the grill apart that's already been used).

    Great for camping!
    We love this little charcoal smoker. It's been perfect to take with us camping. We just take off the legs and put it on the back of our camper! What I like about it is you can use it as a charcoal grill, or use the smoking box. We have a traeger at home, but there's something different about charcoal smoke we just love!

    Attractive Grill with all the Bells and Whistles
    I've been using a portable charcoal grill for several years so the Expert Grill - Offset Charcoal Grill and Smoker is a huge step up for me. I've used Expert Grill accessories before with good results and loved their quality, and this grill lives up to their good brand name. The grill is black powder coated and comes with a two-year limited warranty. The cooking grids are porcelain coated for easy clean up and the warming rack is made of stainless steel. There is a convenient storage shelf at the bottom of the grill and it also comes with a detachable side shelf, which is so handy! The side shelf also has hooks to hang utensils. The two wheels are made of high impact styrene and measure 8 inches by 2 inches. The main cooking grid measures approximate 26 inches by 15 inches - plenty of room to cook a family feast. The directions provided are straightforward and clear - the various nuts and bolts are uniquely packaged and labeled to match the diagram instructions. A Phillips-head screwdriver is also conveniently included, but my hands don't have the strength to tackle the project. My brother has offered the use of his electric screwdriver and I plan to take him up on that. I've laid out all the parts and now awaiting the arrival of spring and nice weather so we can grill and smoke some memorable meals.

    Nice lightweight grill!!
    I am very pleased with this Expert 28 charcoal grill with offset fire box. It offers versatility in how you barbecue. The instructions to put it together were easy to follow. It took about an hour and a half to put it together. It is a lightweight grill. It has 2 wheels, so very easy to move. It seemed to hold temperature very well. It would have been nice if it had a temperature gauge, but i used my own. The grill has a large cooking and a small one. It has a little side table. It has a nice charcoal grate that you can raise and lower to bring the heat closer to what you're cooking if you like. All in all, I am very pleased with this grill.

    Good, large, basic smoker.
    Nice entry level smoker.  It wasn't too hard to put together, it says two people can do it in 45 minutes, I did it by myself in about an hour (with interruptions). It seems sturdy enough, and the doors, vent, and chimney all work well. The handles feel very nice, sturdy, and I like the grip in the middle.  This is my first smoker and I'm very happy with it. It says to burn it hot for the first time to get rid of the manufacturing oils. Hopefully I did it enough. I do wish it had a thermometer built in. Other than that, the only con I can think of is that it's not a very heavy duty metal. That does not keep it from working just fine, and it is to be expected at the price point.  I broke it in with a chicken, put some hickory wood over the charcoal in the side compartment and slow smoked it indirectly. I really like the versatility, that you can use it to grill or smoke.  I also like the large size, we live in farm country and occasionally get large cuts.  Overall, I'm very happy with our new smoker!

    Large and Versatile
    It takes some experience to use the indirect heat method. I takes awhile to get the heat going from the firebox. In the end it worked fine and is very large. I like that I can grill or smoke(slow cook) on this thing. I ended up with some nice and pink chicken leg quarters that were very tender and juicy. Putting it together was really easy with the included instructions. I intend to use it a lot this spring and summer.

    Very impressive
    This offset charcoal grill by Expert Grill had a lot of thought put into its production. I like that the handles got comfort grips on them. Also, there are two adjustable dampers and the charcoal tray is adjustable as well. There's a bottom rack for storage and hooks on the side for your cooking utensils! I'm loving this grill. It's very spacious too. The smoker box even has a door. I'm very impressed with this grill!

    Better than similar models
    First off, the build of this charcoal grill/smoker is very good. The metal pipes that make up the legs and supports are better quality than I expected. The bottom shelf is solid metal and not just an open grate so it can hold a good bit of weight and smaller items won't fall through. Even the handles with their silicon grips look rugged. The entire unit weighs almost eighty pounds so that tells you something. When compared to other models in this price range, this one beats them in looks and quality. It is lacking a couple features like a thermostat and it would be nice if the side shelf folded down, but these are minor quibbles. You can always buy a thermometer with probes for around twenty bucks. Unfortunately it came with some minor damage possibly from shipping so the bottom shelf has dings, the charcoal grid support has some rust and various parts show scratches. I noticed when assembling it, the surface is easy to scratch and I accidentally did a few times when the screwdriver slipped. I took my time unpacking everything and sorting all the hardware, but I figure it took me around two hours over a couple nights to assemble on my own with a small power screwdriver. It would have taken twice as long doing it manually with the one provided. The directions were pretty good. There's a lot of pieces, but they all make sense so even without instructions, you could figure it out. Ironically, the hardest part was the warming rack. I couldn't figure out how the legs locked in place so it would rise and lower with the grill cover until I zoomed in some of the online photos and realized there are holes on each side of the grill that the ends of the legs fit into. We've had blizzards ever since this grill arrived, so it was assembled and still remains in my living room. Due to this, I haven't actually been able test out its capabilities, but I would imagine like any other appliance, it comes down to the skill of the user as much as the tool itself. It has all the grilling area you need to make enough hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs and chicken to feed a small army. Purchase a cast iron griddle and you're set for breakfast too.

    The grill worked perfectly!
    Expert Grill 28 Offset Charcoal Smoker Grill with Side Firebox, Black The box is very heavy so I unpacked it outside and assembled it in the living room. It comes with everything you need to put it together including two wrenches and a screwdriver. It took me 1 ½ to 2 hours to assemble it by myself. That includes the unpacking. It has easy instructions with pictures only. The hardest part was screwing the wheels on because you do both at the same time, screwing one end while holding the other with a wrench. There is a side table that comes off if needed. I haven't had a full sized grill for many years so I'm excited to get back out there and cook up some yummy meats and the veggies that I grow in my garden. I cooked T-bones (way over done) and onions (way under done), burned the zucchini and peppers. I have forgotten how to do it, so I really need to practice. The grill worked perfectly!
