Royal Gourmet CC1830S Charcoal Grill with Offset Smoker

Overview

The Royal Gourmet CC1830S pairs an 823 square inch charcoal grill with an attached offset smoker box, giving it 475 sq in of primary cooking grate plus a 197 sq in smoker chamber and a 151 sq in warming rack. It's built as an entry point into offset smoking rather than a premium rig.

Two-person assembly is recommended for the legs and lid, and a lid thermometer helps track temperature since the offset design runs hotter near the firebox side. It suits people supplementing a primary grill with occasional smoke flavor rather than running daily competition-style cooks.

• 823 sq in total cooking surface
• 475 sq in main grate, 197 sq in smoker, 151 sq in warming rack
• Two-level adjustable charcoal pan
• Lid thermometer for temperature monitoring

Who it's for

Backyard cooks who want to try offset smoking without committing to expensive equipment, and anyone who wants a charcoal grill with a side firebox for ribs, chicken or brisket on weekends. Less suited to anyone expecting heavy-gauge steel or all-day even heat retention.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The offset smoker box stays firmly attached to the main chamber so smoke and heat circulate rather than leaking out, and a side door lets you add charcoal or clear ash mid-cook. A two-level adjustable charcoal pan lets you raise or lower the coals to control cooking temperature, and the lid thermometer gives a visual read without opening the lid and losing heat.
