User Reviews about Char-Griller 2123 Wrangler 640 Square Inch Charcoal Grill Smoker
The only issue that I had with assembly was figuring out which way the wheels went on the axle.......finally apparent that the caps had to fit in the recessed area.......the rest of the instructions were just fine.......no issues.
Good instructions on seasoning the grill.........anyone that doesn't do that will be disappointed in the first cook.
REALLY like the way it is put together and having 4 legs versus the 3 on a Weber kettle......that is what I had. Also like the fact of just raising the hood rather than trying to find somewhere to put it on the ground. The ash dump is seriously great.......almost as good as the can under the expensive Webers. Also the ability to control the temp is much better......and there is actually a gauge to read!
Bottom line is this..........versus a Weber......this is much better! And the Burgers are great!!! -- A solid grill with good features
The Char-Griller 2123 is a great charcoal grill. It is perfect for a small family, but big enough to accommodate a larger crowd. The best feature is the ability to adjust the distance between the grates and the charcoal. But it has one problem: It does not seal well, so you cannot "snuff out" your charcoal when you are finished cooking so that the partially burned charcoal can be saved for another cooking. A heat proof gasket would solve this problem. -- Only one problem...
I ordered this grill on Thursday morning, used prime to get $4 next day shipping, and sure enough by 1pm on Friday the grill was on my porch. Great job Amazon! Now about the grill.. A friend of mine has the super pro, which is just a little more grill than I'll need most of the time, so I took a chance on this one. The size is perfect, slightly more room than I have on the kettle type grills I wear out every year. Assembly wasn't difficult at all; it went together with no problems in about an hour. After getting it together I brushed the entire exterior of the barrel and the entire inside including grates, with a healthy layer of bacon grease. Then I piled in some charcoal and a few cut pieces of hickory and lit some fire to it for its break in burn. A few times I noticed some smoke leaking out from around the chimney and even around the thermometer, but this doesn't really concern me since I know after a few more uses the smoke residue from the wood I burn will eventually seal the little gaps. I also noticed quite a bit of smoke leaking out of the gaps on the sides of the grill when it was closed, this might be remedied by slightly pushing in the sides of the top piece, but I'll cook on it a few more times to determine if its really even necessary. Compared to the kettles I've had in the past there's just no comparison. I can use less charcoal and wood and it'll burn longer and hotter. The warming rack on the kettles always ends up being a pain in the ass to keep secured and they end up falling down mid grill with the only weight of a few potato's and corn on the cob on it. The rack on this grill is sturdier and seems to be better secured. The iron grates are a huge plus as well since I like to cook some things in a big and heavy cast iron skillet. I have no worries about it being able to hold the weight, unlike on the kettles where I've always been worried about the grate giving in and everything falling into the coals. This is an awesome grill and should last awhile if you take care of it properly. I know I'll be using mine every chance I have until winter gets here and makes cooking outdoors not soo much fun, but right now I just have to decide whats for dinner tonight :) -- Awesome grill!!!
I assembled this myself and found it pretty easy as they separated and labeled the nuts and bolts with the appropriate sections of the grill. I took my time with the assembly over 2 days as I was under a busy schedule. The smokestack was bent at the base so I called the 800 number as well as emailed Char-Griller and requested a replacement. I included Amazon's proof of purchase with the email and they sent my replacement smokestack immediately.
I grilled several meals on it and have found it to be efficient and effective in getting all the food grilled to perfection!
The company has my vote and will continue to be considered the top griller company! -- Perfect size for small gatherings; Char-Griller rocks!
