Overview
Royal Gourmet's CC1830W is a 30-inch offset charcoal grill and smoker with 811 sq in of total cooking, warming and smoking area, a height-adjustable charcoal pan and a wood-painted side table for prep space.
The offset firebox is the main draw here, letting smoke drive into the main chamber for more authentic barbecue flavor than a standard kettle grill, in a footprint sized for a deck or patio rather than a full backyard rig. Reviewers who bought it as a budget alternative to $400-plus grills generally came away satisfied, though one flagged that the steel didn't hold up to a stormy season outdoors.
- 811 sq in total cooking, warming and smoking area
- Adjustable charcoal pan holds up to 4.4 lbs of coal
- Offset smoker firebox for authentic smoke flavor
- Wood-painted prep tables plus mesh storage shelf
Who it's for
Fits buyers wanting real offset-smoker flavor at a budget price for backyard cookouts, without stepping up to a premium smoker. Less suited to anyone needing a grill that stays outside uncovered through severe weather, based on at least one durability complaint.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly call assembly easy and the grill sturdy for the price, with several comparing it favorably to grills costing $400 or more. The one negative report describes the steel not surviving a stormy summer outdoors, with the grill getting knocked over in wind even with a cover on, while nearby patio chairs stayed put.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Real offset-smoker flavor at a budget price
- Reviewers found assembly straightforward
- 811 sq in combined cooking, warming and smoking area
- Mesh bottom shelf holds up to 20 lbs
Performance notes
The 2-level adjustable charcoal pan holds up to 4.4 lbs of coal and lets you raise or lower it for heat control, feeding both the 443 sq in main grate and the 184 sq in offset smoker chamber. A 184 sq in warming rack and a mesh bottom shelf rated to 20 lbs round out the cooking and storage space.
