From the manufacturer

This compact grill is ideal for balconies, decks, patios and small outdoor spaces


Unique folding grate The Cuisinart 18-inch Kettle Charcoal Grill has added features that make it an outstanding value. A lower grate elevates the charcoal from the floor of the grill so that air can circulate more efficiently. The hinged upper grate opens on either side in order to arrange hot coals quickly and easily.	The features you want in a grill This compact grill has more features than many larger grills. Heavy duty handles with heat resistant grips are solidly attached to the top and side, and a bottom shelf can be used for storage. A thermometer along with top and bottom vents gives you total control over heat and smoke.	Enough room to grill the foods you love The Cuisinart 18-inch Kettle Charcoal Grill is compact enough for small balconies, decks and patios but has plenty of room to grill a complete meal for a group of four or more. When you're finished grilling it rolls easily out of the way to a designated storage space.

Love how it maintains the heat, easy to control. I do wish and I did modify the lid with a longer bolt to hang the lid off the edge of the bowl. Also a tool hanger would have been great. I've had many pits in all shapes and sizes and still do. But this one is my "go-to"!

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

I wasn't to sure about this purchase but I took a chance based upon the brand name. I was not disappointed. This a great little grill. The 18 inch grill area is sufficient for preparing food for 1-3 people. I like the temperature guage since it lets me monitor proper temperature for cooking. The vents let you adjust for proper air flow and the grate allows me to add coals without removing the entire grate. The instructions for assembly was a little difficult when it came to attaching the legs and wheels. Some of the parts are not labeled and the pictures are not clear, however, a little review of the parts and some common sense and you will be able to assemble is in a reasonable amount of time. I found this to be an excellent purchase.

Not a bad little grill for the money. Only issue is cleaning the ash from the bottom of the grill. Recommend adding something to push the ashes into the holes for the ash collector.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023

This is a poorly conceived grill; the construction is bad, materials poor quality and the instructions awful.

The legs are designed in such a way that they must be put on in a specific pattern, but the 'leg holder' pieces all have the same hole pattern, and the mention that they aren't identical comes AFTER the diagram of how to install them in the manual. Why not key the holes in such a way that they could only go on a specific way if it is important that they do so? Or better yet, just spot weld those parts on at the factory!

Instead you get wing nuts, so many wing nuts. The inside of this is now nearly impossible to clean because there are 8 wing nuts poking out.

The "ash catcher" bin is another design fail. It too needs to be installed in a specific position, and there are 3 screw holes to attach the collar the bin slides into. it would be trivial to space the holes so the collar could only attach in the correct way; instead you have 3 equally spaced holes, meaning you have a 1 in 3 chance of attaching it "correctly". I say correctly in quotes, because that is yet another design failure.

The legs attach at 90 degree compass points; but they don't end up that way. The front legs are closer together, as are the rear legs, meaning there is a wider gap between the legs from the sides than from the front - but they want you to position the ash catch collar in a way that the assembly sides out from the narrow gap between the front legs instead of the wider gap to the side, and it doesn't fit well because of the handle that controls the air vents. It's just bad design.

There is an air vent on the lid, cheap stamped metal already starting to rust. The screws that attach the vent and lid handle aren't stainless.

There is nowhere to hold the lid, I guess you just set it on the ground.

Overall I found this amazingly frustrating to assemble, the instructions are very bad, and I don't like the design at all. I don't like the way airflow is managed, and don't care for the ash catch basin design. Is there anything I like? No. Not really.

The grill is a little over a month old, here's some pictures of the "quality" hardware used on this is holding up. Total junk. Get the Weber.

Edit: I just cleaned the grill to put it away for the season, and it's already rusting. I removed the rust I could get to with a wire brush and coated with high temp paint, but this is what you can expect after 1 season of light use.

Handyman Special

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023

If you like playing with Lego, you’ll love this grill. What you discover when it arrives is that it’s actually a grill-building “kit.” I’m accustomed to product assembly but this took the process to a whole new level. The package includes nearly 80 parts, including 21 major components and 58 screws, washers, and wing nuts. (See inventory in photo.) The box promised “15- minute assembly.” I’m pretty handy and yet it took me well over an hour to get it right. (Had to reinstall the legs twice due to a confusing illustration in the assembly instructions.) Happily, the parts were all there. There are some other important pluses as well: For less than the price of the most basic Weber 18” kettle grill, you get a grill that includes a built-in lid thermometer and an enclosed ash catcher instead of the flimsy open pan on the Weber. To get these features in a Weber, you’d have to upgrade and spend more. The Cuisinart also has four legs, making it somewhat more stable than the three-legged Weber. On the other hand, the Weber kettle has a hook inside the lid that allows you to hang the lid from the side of the grill while open — a big convenience that you don’t get with the Cuisinart. The Weber also has internal blades at the bottom that make it easy to sweep ashes into the ash-catcher. You need a small whisk broom to clear ashes from the Cuisinart. These differences aside, the actual grilling experience is what you’d expect from any kettle grill — wonderful!

En general, estoy muy satisfecho con este asador. Su diseño es elegante y moderno, además de que su funcionamiento es excelente. Sin embargo, debo mencionar que su tamaño es un poco más reducido de lo que esperaba, lo que puede ser un inconveniente para quienes buscan asar grandes cantidades de alimentos. Asimismo, las agarraderas de la parrilla pueden limitar el espacio disponible para colocar los alimentos a asar, lo que puede resultar un poco incómodo. A pesar de estos detalles, recomiendo este asador por su buen desempeño y su estética atractiva.
