Weber 616002 Char Q

I was a little unsure if this type of grill would work with charcoal, but it does. The spacing between the grill and the charcoal is a little close for my liking. You have to keep a close eye on the food so that it will not burn. The food taste great because of that charcoal flavor that a propane grill just would not give. Now the problem, it makes a mess. Cleaning the bottom of the grill is a pain. You can not clean it a 100%. It leaves a little bit of the burn charcoal at the bottom. Also, the handles are a little "weak" for the weight of the grill in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the grill, but I wish it didn't have the problems that it has for the price that it cost.

The Weber Q serves the purpose for which I bought it. Rather than pull out the large Weber and wrestle with the cover, I now save it for company. The Weber Q is just perfect for a dinner for two. Actually, you could feed four easily. The small cover (additional) goes on quickly and easily and clean up is a breeze. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the coals are a bit closer to the grate than I would like. I am quickly learning how to adjust my grilling to this problem. Hello indirect grilling. I would certainly buy this product again.

Light, portable, ergonomic, has some nice features like the wholes on top that can be open or closed, and the bottom tray for easier ash removal. I wish the tray that holds charcoal was deeper - this is practically my only complaint about the grill.
