More from this brandAll Royal Gourmet charcoal grillsOverview
The Royal Gourmet CC1624 is a barrel-style charcoal grill with 426 square inches of total cooking space split between a 321 sq in primary grate and a 105 sq in warming rack, plus front and side shelves. It's sized for backyard cookouts and picnics rather than commercial-scale grilling.
A barrel shape rather than a flat kettle is what gives this grill its heat circulation and its front-and-side shelf layout, more surface area for prep than a round kettle grill typically offers. The charcoal pan adjusts to two heights, which is the main lever for temperature control here rather than a fully sealed vent system.
- 426 sq in total cooking space (321 primary + 105 warming)
- Adjustable 2-height charcoal pan, holds up to 3.8 lbs
- Front, side, and bottom shelves with utensil hooks
- Porcelain-enameled steel grates
Who it's for
Good for backyard cooks who want real charcoal flavor with enough shelf space to prep and serve without a side table.
Pros and cons
