(More customer reviews)I was really looking for a gas BBQ because of the climate of where I live. I wanted something that would start fast and be a easy to use. I had a coal BBQ but hated how long it took to start and get hot. I sw the Bubba Keg and did some research. After finding the BBKG forum, I decided to buy it. Best investment ever. Not only does it start fast, but it also get super hot. I have seared steaks at 750F and done pizza on a stone at 500F. Where this BBQ really shines is in maintaining its temperature. For ThanksGiving I did a 16lb turkey at 250F for 6hours, and the temp never fluxed. I also did a 10hour pulled pork that held at 200F. The setting on this thing allow you (with a little practice) to get to a temp and have it hold for hours. The best part, its so efficient, that I normally have a lot of coal left over at the end. By the way, it recommends that you use Lump Coal, which is cheaper and burns hotter with less ash, so win-win. I wish I would have waited for the new lower price. But even at the original price it was a bargain."

With a barrel shape designed for efficient thermal convection-style cooking, this outdoor grill makes a welcome addition to any back deck or patio--perfect for those who love to cook up summer fare when gathering with friends and family. The charcoal grill supplies 450 square inches of space for anything from hot dogs and hamburgers to grilled salmon, veggie shish-kabobs, steak, fresh slices of pineapple, and more. Place its removable cast-iron grill grate in the lower position for large items like whole turkeys or roasts or in the upper position for smaller items. For added versatility and cooking space, the unit provides a chrome-plated grill grate that can be used up top (with the cast-iron grill grate down below). Double steel walls and oven-grade insulation trap in the heat for maximum fuel efficiency, while top and bottom dampers control the cooking time and temperature by regulating airflow. The grill uses 100-percent natural lump charcoal, instead of charcoal briquettes, for hotter and cleaner (additive- and filler-free) burning with less ash waste at the end. A multi-purpose tool comes included for adjusting the dampers, moving the grill grates, raking out the ashes, and cleaning the cast-iron cooking grate. Thoughtfully designed, the grill also features built-in bottle openers, a thermometer in the lid, a high-performance lid seal, stay-cool handles, and removable side trays for setting tools or platters, as well as a mesh screen that keeps embers and ashes neatly inside and a durable steel stand with large rubberized wheels for smooth transport. Best of all, a trailer-hitch adaptor comes included for taking the grill to the beach, tailgating parties, outdoor picnics, and more. Fully assembled, the grill measures approximately 27 by 44 by 46 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty with a three-year limited warranty on all the cast-iron parts, the chromed cooking grate, the fire bowl, and the lid seal gasket.
