Overview
The Broil King 945050 is a charcoal grill built from alloy steel with a black finish, standing 52.5 inches tall and weighing about 138 pounds. Its bulk and barrel-style footprint point to a grill meant to stay put on a patio rather than travel to a tailgate.
Amazon lists no seller copy or detailed spec sheet for this unit beyond fuel type, material, color and dimensions, so shoppers are working with the basics: it burns charcoal, it is built from alloy steel, and it is heavy. At 138 pounds it is closer to a stationary cooking station than a portable grill, which matters more than any marketing line would.

Who it's for
This suits someone who wants a dedicated, semi-permanent charcoal setup and has the patio space for a unit over four feet tall. It is not the choice for anyone who needs to fold it up, load it into a car, or move it between a garage and a backyard each use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Heavy alloy steel construction
- Charcoal fuel for smoke flavor
- Tall build keeps grate off the ground
- No cooking area or BTU data given
- 138 lb makes it hard to relocate
- No seller description to confirm features
Performance notes
Charcoal grills of this size and weight typically hold heat well once the coals are established, thanks to the mass of alloy steel absorbing and radiating warmth. The tradeoff is a slower startup than gas and more hands-on management of airflow and coal placement to control temperature.
