#CHARGRILLER SUPER PRO PRO#
And since the Super Pro is a big grill, you might actually want to have two chimneys.
Use a charcoal chimney, real hardwood lump charcoal, and your coals are ready for grilling in about 10 minutes. In a nutshell, any charcoal grill is simple to light. They will set you back about twenty bucks at the Home-Lowes-Menards-Rona-Depot-Whatever, and are a great investment for outdoor charcoal- and wood-fired cooking.Īnd while it is not actually a part of the “ease of use” of any specific grill, the “lighting the charcoal” question always seems to come up. You will definitely want to invest in a pair of welding gloves ( I like these ones) for grabbing the tray handles, managing the charcoal, and dealing with other stupidly hot surfaces. They are independent, so you can have one end up high and one end down low for some temperature flexibility during a single grill. Those same handles are how you lower and raise the tray – they have four sets of hooks and you just grab them and hook them at the height you need. The charcoal tray has an integrated grate and ash pan, and the whole thing lifts out with two big grab handles for cleaning. Even a newbie should have no problems the first time out. The hood of the grill comes with a generally accurate thermometer built-in. The combination of the damper and the tray height will let you manage your temperature as accurately as you will ever need. Done and done – this big grill is definitely easy to use. There is a single rotary damper on the right hand side, a charcoal tray you can manually raise and lower, and … well, that’s it. You will have to re-tighten the bolts once after a couple of months, and that is that.Ĭhar-Griller designs a very simple grill. Even the most mechanically inept will have no problems here. If your retailer offers to assemble and deliver this for a fee, keep your money in your pocket and do it yourself. They also include a couple extra of pretty much every small item – bolts, nuts, washers – so you don’t have to worry about lost parts or scrounging up replacements later. The instructions are easy to understand and follow, the parts are well-labelled and packed in the order you need them, and you only need a couple of tools. Despite some heavy parts (there is a lot of cast metal here) and some large components, one person can put this together in an hour or two with no awkward moments. It also makes the assembly simple and fun. It’s one part engineering, one part origami, and one part “dad managing to get everything in the trunk for vacation no matter how much crap mom wanted to bring along”. But not only does this larger-than-average grill fit in the box, it is packed in a logical and efficient order so that the parts come out of the box as you need them when you put the thing together. If you are at ye olde big box hardware store and you see the grill assembled and on display and then look at the box next to it, you are going to step back and say “no way does that thing fit in there”. The first thing you notice is that the Super Pro comes packed in a suspiciously small box.
Everything from the packaging to the assembly instructions to the little extras lets you know that the company believes in taking the time and effort to do things right. *Fair with the addition of the optional firebox and a lot of smoking experienceĬhar-Griller is a company that proves “inexpensive” does not have to equal “cheap”. And whether you are picking up your first ever grill or you just want to find out what you have been missing out on with your gas-burning stainless-steel suburban patio monster, the Super Pro is an ideal spring purchase. Grilling on gas just doesn’t cut it – you need the charcoal. Natural gas, propane, doesn’t matter – there is a whole generation of burger and steak flippers who have spent their whole lives eating second-rate food. I know that a lot of grillheads out there have grown up with the dreaded gas grills. It’s the Char-Griller Super Pro, and it’s ideal if all you need is a big-ass grill that’s bulletproof, simple to use, and gives that real charcoal-grilled taste. It’s stripped down, low-tech, simple, inexpensive, and a little chunk of grillhead paradise. Hot coals, direct heat, bring out the steaks and burgers, and don’t forget the beer. No, this old-school chunk of iron is all about the grill. Well, mostly, anyway – there is a barbeque option here, but It’s not what the suits would call the “core competency” of this unit. As the kids say, boo-yah!Īnd just to keep you all on your toes, I’m going to start the “Spring Countdown Triple-Header Equipment Review Fest” with something that has nothing at all to do with barbeque.
