AMAZING! and versatile

Amazing! The charcoal grill is very versatile, durable, and easy to use producing great results. It is very durable and solid with double wall steel. Having wheels makes it way to maneuver even with the heavy construct. I grill and smoked the most on it and the design and damper controls make it easy to get great results and maximize that charcoal flavor no matter which method you use. It also packs lots of little things that make it easy to use like movable racks and easy clean components. Highly recommend this and believe that it performs better than some of the more expensive competition. Please note that this was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Impressed with the Performance

I am loving my new Kamander Grill,that was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review. It has taken me several tries to figure out timing and temp control. But overall I am loving the performance of this grill. The more I use it the better I can judge what's needed. It gets very hot, very quick, and holds the heat for a long time. I highly recommended you read the grilling guide thoroughly. All I have mentioned is covered in the guide.
It took me about 1.5 hours to put the grill together alone, with many distractions. The instructions are fairly clear and I loved how the different sizes screws were separated and labeled. This was a big time saver for me. The hardest part was attaching the shelf, I never was able to get both screws in the middle arm, but seems to be holding up ok without it.
The first time I used the grill I started the fire in the wrong place, which was pretty funny. I saw the picture of how much charcoal to us by measuring with the drip pan and didn't read the guide before lighting. I lit it in drip pan, came in and started reading guide, realized my mistake. Oops! Easily fixed by dumping in correct area.
So far I have grilled chicken breast & a London broil, roasted a pork loin, cooked fish packets, and smoked a beef brisket. I need to work on the grilling skills, both got slightly more done than I like. As stated before, the grill gets hot fast and stays hot.
Easily moved and stored which is also a plus.

Easy temperature control

I received Kamander Grill with small delays from original shipping date. It's came in the box and it's required assembly. I spent one hour and 30 min to put it together but it is recommended to use two people to assembly. It has unusual shape like egg. When I first fired it I wasn't sure about it's ability to control temperature but it was easy and simple solution with intake air flow. Also I like the idea with seal between grill and cover it is helps to control temperature. I used on the several occasions to grill burgers, pork chops and barbecue ribs. All of it was ease to do with small unconvincing on start up. To start the grill you have to set it up first. In order to do so you have to take top of grill off take the dripping pan off and and set your charcoal on the bottom grill. I used lighter fluid and real woods to start the fire, when my charcoal tern red I put back dripping pan and main grill. From this point it was ease to control everything. In extra convince it has warming station above the main grill so you can keep your stuff warm or slow cook if you want to. Over all I have good experience with Kamander Grill it was a lot of fun for whole family
I have to mention I received this product free sample in exchange on my opinion

Great grill for the price, love the features

Very impressed with the quality and performance of this grill. Made of very durable materials with impressive weight and strength. Considering comparable style grills cost 2 to 3 times what this one does and all of the features that come with this model makes it really a great value without even compromising quality. All meals made in the grill so far have turned out great and it has been easy to use. This thing gets hot and really traps in the heat. Once I set it I didn't have to come back to it, I just let it sit and it kept the temperature, even with it being below freezing outside. This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review.

Exceeded Expectations!

This "grill" is amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. I put grill in quotes because it is so much more than a grill! It is a grill and a smoker, and believe it or not, can also be used to roast and even bake! I haven't tried baking yet, but as for grilling it is fantastic! It uses charcoal and has a thermometer on the outside so you don't need to keep opening the grill. It has a shelf that folds down and this grill is super durable. I kept it outside during rain and even snow and it is in perfect condition. The smoking function takes a few attempts to perfect but the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. This charcoal grill/smoker is absolutely amazing and easily competes with more expensive versions. It's very easy to use and clean and is also incredibly durable. With this grill you won't need a separate smoker. It is low maintenance which makes it very easy to use. It has two wheels which makes it easy to move and relocate as needed. I received this item as a free sample in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I highly recommend this grill for anyone from beginners to experts. It is very versatile and will definitely meet all of your grilling and smoking needs.

Better than the big green egg

This grill was very easy to put together, use, and master. I was very hesitant to start using a charcoal grill because I've always been a propane guy and this was my first try using charcoal and it was much easier than anticipated plus the food taste great as well. I was curious how this would stack up to my brother-in-law's big green egg and I'll be glad to say it stacks up very well. I used my grill to smoke a pork loin this weekend and it was delicious. I really am impressed with the ease of use and the great taste of the meat when smoked with some Jack Daniels hickory chips. I definitely would recommend this smoker/grill to anyone ready to start grilling who doesn't want sell their home to afford the big green egg. This grill was sent to me as a sample in exchange for my review.

Amazing Barbeque/Smoker
on March 14, 2017
Posted by: LonnyM

Length of ownership:1 week
Overall this is an excellent barbecue/smoker. It met and exceeded all my expectations. It is durable, with sides make like an oven to hold the heat in and cook evenly. It even has a oven gasket to seal the heat in. The actual grill top is heavy duty with thick strong grate. I did have an issue with the latch needing to be tighter and since it's not adjustable it was not sealed properly. I used a piece of cardboard on the latch to temporarily fix. Very heavy duty materials that seem like they would last years more than most barbecues. The smoker feature is amazing and it uses such little wood and charcoal to smoke. I smoked a turkey and two chickens and it took a handful to stay lit for 5 hours. The adjustable settings for heat make smoking easy. It cooked completely perfect with the perfect smoked flavor. I would definitely recommend this grill to anyone wanting a high quality type grill. I can't wait to try smoking a brisket. Unique shape seems to make cooking faster. Very easy to move around and out of the way with wheels attached. This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my honest review.
