CosmoGrill Outdoor XL Smoker Barbecue Charcoal Portable BBQ Grill, 2 Folding Side Table, Built-in Thermometer, Adjustable Charcoal Pan & Chimney, Wheels, Large Coal BBQ Smoker for Home Garden Cooking

Aesthetics: Looks very nice. Assembly: All parts present and correct, no spares in the kit if you know what I mean. Straight forward construction, can be done quite easily by one person. Don't forget to put a split pin in the handle that lifts / lowers the charcoal tray. The top chrome shelf side support screws could be a few millimetres shorter as they can snag on the shelf, if you tighten them right up the cinch may (like one of mine) break free from the sides. But not a disaster, it was easy to fix. Then I just backed them off a bit they don't need to be fully tightened. The lid hinges need a little bit of fiddling to get the lid on straight before tightening. Cooking: Being able to raise & Lower the charcoal tray is a good touch. the Front door gives good access to rake the coals. Reasonable cooking width. The end shelves and hanging hooks for the cooking utensils are a bonus. As for cleaning, good access to the inner workings all round . I used bottom ash tray (when clean) as a 'bowl' to soak the 2 grill grids for a short while before cleaning them. All round I really like this Barbeque. Looks good works well and easy to clean.

I bought the XL Smoker BBQ so I would be ready for the summer. It arrived yesterday and I put it together today. Firstly I would like to say that once its been put together this is a very impressive piece of kit. It has all the attachments you could wish for, a very good sized cooking area, a very sturdy build and a nice looking BBQ. It does take a few hours to put together, but once built you will not be disappointed.

I recently purchased the CosmoGrill Outdoor XL Smoker Barbecue Charcoal Portable BBQ Grill, and overall, I am really impressed with the product. To start, there was a minor issue during assembly where one of the pieces arrived slightly bent. However, I was able to reshape it without much trouble, so it didn’t affect the overall experience. Once everything was put together, the grill looked great, was sturdy, and felt very well-constructed. The design is solid, and you can tell that the materials used are durable and built to last. I’ve noticed that some other reviews are very critical of the product, and I do think many of them are a bit unfair. Some complaints were centered around faulty items or people who seemed to struggle with assembly - while those issues are unfortunate, they don’t reflect the quality of the product as a whole. It’s important to give the product a fair shot, follow the instructions carefully, and not jump to conclusions just because of a small issue. A particular point of contention in some of the negative reviews was about the patina that develops on the grill after use. Honestly, this didn’t surprise me at all - it's a metal structure, and when you’re heating it up for grilling, it’s inevitable that it will lose its shiny, new look over time. This is a normal part of the grilling experience and doesn’t affect the functionality at all. I’m planning to use the grill this weekend, and I will update my review after I’ve had a chance to really put it to the test. But so far, I’m excited about the purchase and feel confident in its quality. If you’re on the fence, I wouldn’t let the negative reviews dissuade you. It’s a great product once assembled correctly, and the patina issue isn’t a dealbreaker for me. Looking forward to many successful cookouts!

Assembly took me about 90mins but wasn't exactly rushing. Instructions are reasonable clear. Previous reviews mentioned getting the sides of the firebox the wrong way round but mine were the only numbered parts so maybe the manufacturer has solved that issue. Couple issues on building - when installing the coal grate notice the small part that comes attached to the coal grate raising handle. This needs to be taken off the handle and installed with the grate. Second, when installing the side tables you may need to loosen the firebox mounting screws that you have previously tightened. This will ease the lining up of the side table screw holes. Mine were initially misaligned and I stripped a thread trying to force the screw in. Have used it once so far and compared to previous weber kettle BBQ I was using the difference is huge. Coal was hotter for longer, raising the coal grate makes regulating the temp easy. I just opened all the vents and it was fine. Food cooked well and tested great. Warming rack works well. With lid down for a bit the temp inside was up at about 180C. For smoking it may need some stove rope around the top of the firebox as a fair bit of smoke and probably heat was escaping here as the lid doesn't seal very well. Cleaning down was OK, the cooking grills needed a bit of soaking but then came up as new, brushing the ash through the holes in the grate and then removing with the tray is easy enough. Overall after considering many models I think it was a good choice and worth the money.

This product offer great value for money. It wasn t the easiest to put together but after about two hours I had a well constructed, solid bbq. I did experience an issue with building it and needed a part replacing and I have to really commend the customer service I received. Within 48hours of raising an issue I had the parts needed and they fitted perfectly. The size of the bbq is perfect for a family of four with a great sized warming rack too. I’m yet to cook on the bbq as the weather has been pants but that’s my fault for buying and building a bbq. A* 10/10 a very satisfied customer.
