Overview
The Royal Gourmet CD2030AN is a 30 inch charcoal grill with a height-adjustable charcoal pan, front loading door, side dampers and 719 square inches of combined cooking and warming space, built for backyard and family-size cooking.
- 719 sq in cooking and warming space
- Crank-adjustable charcoal pan
- Front-loading charcoal access door
- Side damper plus lid stack vent control
Who it's for
Suits a family or regular backyard griller who wants a large charcoal surface and adjustable coal height at a mid-range price. Less suited to anyone who expects premium hardware finish out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Some units arrive with a dented or bent tray
- Screws and hardware are described as low grade
- Charcoal tray can warp or tilt after years
- Gaps around the lid can let in extra air
Performance notes
A crank handle raises and lowers the charcoal pan to control heat without opening the lid, and a front access door lets you tend coals without losing heat through the top. A side damper and lid-mounted stack vent adjust airflow, while porcelain-enameled cooking grates and a chrome-plated warming rack add up to 719 square inches of space. Owners running it for years note the coal tray is the part most likely to warp or thin out over time.
