This is a well made sturdy grill and I love that the grill area feels like a much larger grill. I also really like that the fire box portion can be raised closer for more direct heat!

outstanding grill. 2nd grill in 12 years! grill about 2 times a week, year-round, all weather! only use lump charcoal, it has a few rust & burn out holes, time to replace there is only 1 choice Char-Griller, can't go wrong!!

Great BBQ for small spaces. This is a substantial barbecue that holds heat well, makes heat control very easy, and is easy to clean. I've had several Char-Griller charcoal barbecues, and been very pleased with each of them.

I have had my grill for over a month and I Love it. I’m am extremely happy with my new chat griller, it is so much better than I thought it would be. It cooks everything really well and keeps the flavors in as well as the smoke from the wood chips I add to the charcoal, my wife also loves the flavor of the food that I prepare for us.

Superb Grill. I’ve had my Char Griller Wrangler for 3 months and I fire it up once a week consistently. I’d love to grill on it more because I love it so much. It’s not a big grill but it ain’t a small grill either esp if you decide to add the offset grill allowing you to use the full surface if you want to smoke. Only if you’re feeding a football team would you need a bigger grill imo. The chimney and side air vent dials in an almost perfect temperature with the right amount of charcoal of course. The build was a semi simple one person task and it’s a sturdy grill when completed. Even when moving back and forth it still remains solid. Cleaning out ashes the next day is super easy by just removing the charcoal grate and dumping the ashes into a container. I went from that very small very well known grill to this and I’m more than satisfied. Good job , Char Griller.

Perfect size! Excellent for my situation. The kids have all moved out of the house, and this grill is a perfect size!a
I still keep the larger one for when they come to have me feed them (happens quite often!).
★★★★★ KenDog25 September 18, 2025 · Chicago
Great Size for storage. I have had this grill for a few months and it's perfect for when I don't need to cook for a bunch of people. I can throw a couple of steaks on or a few burgers, clean it up, and roll into into the storage unit
★★★★★ Bobthebuilder99 September 17, 2025 · North Carolina
No bad. Works well. But a bit small for everyday grilling. Would recommend looking at a larger grill if you are looking to grill a lot.

Perfect for two. Just the wife and I and it’s the perfect size for us. We grill everything on it. Purchased about 4 years ago and love it! Really holds temps where you want them. Also use for most of my smoking. Just did some pork belly burnt ends. Delicious!!!
★★★★★ Victoria83 September 6, 2025 · NC
Easy to use (even for a woman), great results. PERFECT GRILL FOR A SINGLE FEMALE - I was looking for a charcoal grill that would be easy and durable for me. Overall, I am very happy with this grill!
-EASY TO ASSEMBLE - took me about an hour, but had to go buy a 7/16" Nut Driver - the outside of the box does not state that, so I was unhappy I had to drive back to the store
-LOVE the cast iron grates - I can't wait until they get good and seasoned, working on it!
-LOVE the adjustable EasyDump ash pan - you can adjust it to 4 different heights depending on what you're cooking, and it makes it easy to dispose of the ashes without making a mess
-I have grilled about once a week all summer because this is so easy to use. My mom asked 'how did you figure out how to do this' regarding assembling the grill by myself and all the food I've cooked for her. Girl power!
-LOVE that it is side firebox compatible to use the grill as a offset smoker! Just purchased one and need to figure out how to attach it! Then I will teach myself how to smoke all the meats!!!!

Your product vs Webber kettles. My personal view, is you have an incredible product! I have gone through 3 Webber kettles since I move to Florida in 2006.

Great Beginner Charcoal Grill. I bought this grill a couple months ago, and have been using it about once a month. So far, it has been very good. I grew up using a gas grill, so learning how to maintain a flame is very new to me. Food has been coming out really good. This grill is excellent for the price.
★★★★★ Ryan nc04 February 16, 2024 · Asheville,NC
Fantastic Grill! I purchased this grill last summer and it has served me well! I often cook for just the two of us, but it is big enough to comfortably cook for 4 people!
I recently bought the side firebox, and it has been great to start learning how to smoke meats. I started with a pork butt and turkey legs and both turned out exceptional.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a grill but is in a smaller outdoor space. Looking forward to many years with this grill and side firebox!
Thanks Char-Griller :)
★★★★★ Andrew87 February 16, 2024 · Oregon
Worth every penny! I've had my grill for a couple of years now and I still love it!! It's sturdy easy to use and I love that the grilling area is cast iron. The wheels were always my concern. But these wheels seem to be holding up pretty well. I am very careful when I move it because I have to move it onto the grass in the apartment complex I live in. After a couple of years so far so good. Adjusting the heat is still a challenge because of it being a charcoal grill, but that's made easier with the adjustable coal shelf. Overall very nice Grill and it comes with the option for a Smoke Box. I highly recommend Char-Griller as a brand! My next Grill whenever I do replace this one will definitely be a Char-Griller!

Great little Smoker with added firebox. Bought this and added a fire box to it. After a little research and slight my modifications, few trial runs to get things right. Turned out to be a great little Smoker. After modifications able to comfortably hold 2 ribs, 2 small chickens, 1 smaller brisket. I'm new to this charcoal smoking thing but so far happy with the results Modifications include foil wrapped grate for heat baffle, 4 foil wrapped 5x6x1 paver bricks to maintain. Heat,
★★★★★ Marty April 13, 2022 · Ozark, MO
Perfect for small spaces. Great grill for my small deck and there's only 2 of us at the house so no need for anything bigger. I got the side fire box and smoked a tri tip the second dayI had it with some hickory logs. Best tri tip I've had. Keeps temperature well and is pretty accurate compared to the probe thermometer I have. Definitely would recommend
★★★★★ Wes B March 27, 2022 · Piqua Ohio
Excellent Product!! The Wrangler was packaged nicely and assembled with ease!! I had it together and cooking dinner for the family in no time!! The grate tool makes it easy to remove the grates and get your charcoal started. After a nice bed of coals I placed my griddle on a had the perfect set up to sear my steaks!! After cooking with wood charcoal on the Wrangler I doubt I'll be firing up my propane grill anytime soon!!
★★★★★ Truckin dad bbq March 26, 2022 · Sumas Wa
Perfect size!! This a amazing little grill!! Just the perfect size for our family of 4, could easily cook enough meat for 6-8 on it! Enough space to offset cook a decent sized pork butt, or reverse sear a couple steaks! I love the adjustable charcoal grate! It really helps with temp control and makes reverse searing a breeze!! Easily assembled, took me and my son less than an hour to put together and it's easy on charcoal.
★★★★★ Marc March 19, 2022 · Elk Grove, CA
Compact design with great quality. The Wrangler is the perfect tool for everyday grilling. The compact design allows it to not take up much room at all. I made sure to season it inside and out per the owner's manual. I also noticed that the heat retention was really efficient long after I was finished cooking. You can also tell that the metal and grates are great quality. It's instantly become part of my regular grill rotation.
★★★★★ BoroFire March 16, 2022 · Tennessee
Great Entry Level Grill. I was surprised at the internal space of this grill. The barrel is deep and has really good depth. The space between the main grates and the second level grate is nice as well. I don't think I can but a pork shoulder in there without removing the second level grate, but I haven't tried it yet, just from eying it. I've only cooked once on it since I received it. During the burn-in process, it held heat exceptionally well. To me, very similar to the Akorn but without any ceramics. The only things I've cooked on it so far is 4 ribeyes and 2 onions, I just got it. Construction is good. It's lightweight, smaller footprint so it's easy to move around and store. Though lightweight, it's fairly sturdy and balanced. Cleaning is easy on this grill. The coal grates are welded to the (I assume is aluminum) ash pan. This makes it easy for ash disposal and cleaning. Overall, this grill holds heat exceptionally well, the thermometer is very accurate, and this grill provides a really good cook to your foods. It's also budget friendly.
★★★★★ Mike March 12, 2022 · Los Angeles
Nice compact charcoal grill. Recently picked up this super compact grill. After I got it seasoned, did some chicken on it. It maintained the heat consistently throughout the cook. Only downside was after I fired it up, I had to retighten some of the nuts and bolts that somehow became loose. Other than that, this is one solid grill especially for those in a budget.
★★★★★ Mike March 12, 2022 · Los Angeles
Great compact grill. Perfect grill for those on a budget. Retains heat extremely well. Easy clean up and due to its size, easy to store. Only issue I found was some nuts and bolts came loose during the seasoning process. Other than that, an awesome grill.

Perfect patio/balcony grill. Excellent sized grill, I made a great video of setup for the Wrangler here and I hope you enjoy!
★★★★★ Happy Barbecue March 7, 2022 · San Diego, CA
Wrangler love! I have to say that putting this grill together was definitely a snap, I really appreciated that! After seasoning it I had to break in with a few Ribeye Steaks, this little grill was such a blast to use. It looks kinda small, but inside there's so much room to grill! I like how easy it was to adjust the grates, I was also impressed by how well the grill held it's temps through the whole cook. Emptying out the charcoal tray was so easy, within a minute it's ready for the next cook. This grill covers all my needs, it may look small but it will definitely make a huge impact on your cooking!
★★★★★ Geoffrey B. March 7, 2022 · Atlanta GA
Gets the job done! I love to grill but I have a small back yard. This Wrangler fit the bill perfectly for me. With over 630 square inches of cooking surface, I can get a large amount of food on there. I also attached the optional side firebox and made this into a baby offset smoker with a very small footprint. I never thought I could enjoy the offset taste in a small package that takes up less than 1/3 the space of my old offset. Two key things for me in this price range are the cast iron grates which are great for searing, and the stainless steel charcoal pan which won't rust out like others in this price range. This is a solid little grill they will last me a long time. Give it a try!
★★★★★ Mike February 28, 2022 · Kill Devil Hills, NC
Perfect size grill. I love grilling and smoking meats. This grill did not disappoint. I love the small area as i did not take long to reach the temperature range. I have grilled burgers and smoked burnt ends, Each time it only took about10-15 minutes to reach the temperature I wanted. The poor man burnt ends were smoked for 2 hours at 225 and I never once had to add more coals. The cast iron grates are a wonderful addition. I was able to assemble the grill by myself in about 1 hour. I have an older daughter and she saw the grill and stated "that would be the perfect size for my patio." Needless to say we love it and are looking forward to more nights outside grilling.
★★★★★ Travis J Reed from Oh Snap Barbeque! February 28, 2022 · Newark, DE
Solid grill for the price! This is a great grill! It's small size makes it perfect for small spaces or small meals. I've had several Char-Griller grills and smokers over the years and currently have two other Char-Griller grills and I am very happy to add this to my outdoor cooking arsenal!
★★★★★ Jab688 January 27, 2022 · Tallahassee, FL
Best sized grill with lots of possibilities. Char-Griller makes some quality products. Prior to this purchase we got an Akorn grill. That was 6 and a half years ago. The Akorn is going strong with no issues. With the accessories we can do hot sear and low and slow. But lots of components to move about for low and slow. The Wrangler fit the bill for us. The 435 sq. in main cooking area is large enough for a full slab of ribs, couple baby backs, lots of leg quarters, or two 10lb pork butts. It's just my girlfriend and I. We don't cook for the entire neighborhood. The directions were very straightforward. Easy assembly and not that heavy even with the side fire box the whole unit weighs less than 110lbs. I love cooking on cast iron and the cast grates once fully seasoned do act like my cast iron skillet in the house - natural no stick surface. I did the first round of seasoning and got a very nice patina. Before we use it again (later this week/weekend) I will oil the entire insides down again both grill and side box and season it. Then I'm thinking some leg quarters done indirect. The real attraction for us to this model is the modest cooking area and adjustable ash pan (where the coals go). I can do direct sear by lifting the coals up. I can leave the coals down for more of a traditional grilling. The cooking chamber is large enough to do indirect grilling by putting coals only on one side and the meat on the other. We got the fire side box to do dedicated low and slow without

not a big griller until now. originally decided to get a grill because i was trying to fix up my yard and patio. i always do research and compare a few website reviews before making a decision. i myself dont grill but when i buy something i buy quality or i dont need it. my bf kept saying weber. weber. not only was this outlaw more reasonably priced it also had the little shelf on the side and that is something i told myself i wanted. when i got off of work after delivery my bf had put it together and he said how much did you pay for this again? when i told him he could not believe it and even admitted that he was suprised by how good the quality was. he said we could sell these on facebook for more than homedepot is selling them for. lol nah but he rarely if ever admits i did good when he knows more about it then i do. since getting this grill i want to grill all the time. i even invited people over. perhaps ill even learn how to use it. great product. 100 percent satisfied.
★★★★★ K June 25, 2021 · Boise Idaho
Unstable. Haven't used this grill yet. But The assembly instructions on this grill are very hard to follow. I got it put together but the stand/legs are so wobbly I'm nervous about it supporting itself. I bought it because it's a USA product and I wanted to support them but the imported grills that are half the price are way more stable! Hoping it lasts through the summer.

Awesome! I just LOVE this brand of grill. We had a large Char-Griller years ago and it wore out and we got one of those little tiny, table top grills (junk) ... because we weren't in the mood to buy a big one. ha! But, just decided on this one, because it's just me and my husband. I just LOVE the quality of these grills. This one has cast iron grates ... which are indestructible and will hold heat for cooking, and become non-stick with time. I love how I can adjust the coal rack to cook hot or lower heat. I love how there's a temperature gauge as well. I'm just super happy, again, that we bought another Char-Griller.

★★★★★ Beck April 4, 2021 · Lake City Florida
I really like it. Very impressed so far. Especially for the very fair price, it is well built. You couldn't build this yourself for what you pay. I've cooked 3 times so far and it has been perfect. I wanted a smaller grill and this size was perfect for us. Direct or indirect cooking is easily done. I love the vents to control heat and temp... love the shelves with utensil hooks. My only complaint is the legs are a little flimsy which could be a problem if you plan to move it often. But for the price, I'll beef up the legs if I have too. I bought from my local Lowe's and they even assembled for me free of charge. Overall very satisfied and I give 5 stars.
★★★★★ James March 17, 2021 · Missouri
I would buy this product again. I was looking to move back to charcoal grilling. Didn't want to spend a small fortune on a grill. Decided on the wrangler, size and price for what I was looking for. It could have a heavier stand but that would have increased to price. Very happy with this grill so far and might add the smoker box to the side in the future.
★★★★★ Grillmaster March 2, 2021 · Webb, Alabama
Awesome charcoal grill! I was looking for a good value on a charcoal grill. I first looked at the Riveredge barrel grill and was almost sold until I ran across the Char-Griller Wrangler. After checking out the specs, I was sold. Bought mine already assembled at Lowe's for a fantastic price of $109.00 (plus tax). After preparing it for use, as per the instructions, I did my first cooking on it the next day and wow...never have I had such pleasurable grilling experience! Cooked my food perfect and was very easy & fast clean-up. Bought myself a cover for it and now I am set. I would highly recommend the Char-Griller Wrangler to anyone who needs a small to medium charcoal grill and is on a budget. Great buy and great grill!!!

GREAT NEW GRILL. I HAVE BEEN COOKING OVER OPEN FIRES FOR OVER 50 YEARS. AND I LOVE THIS GRILL. ONCE MY SON IN-LAW ASKED ME WHY HIS BBQ DIDN'T TASTE GOOD, I TOLD HIM TO ADD CHARCOAL OR WOOD. SERIOUSLY THIS IS A GREAT GRILL THAT HAS A LARGE COOKING SURFACE AND AN EASY TO USE UPPER RACK THAT COMES IN HANDY TO KEEP FROM BURNING YOUR FOOD. AND YOU CAN ADD A SIDE SMOKER EASILY. eASE OF ASSEMBLY AND QUALITY MATERIALS. ONE GREAT FEATURE IS THE HEAVY DUTY TRAY BENEATH THE CHARCOAL RACK TO KEEP THE HEAT AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. ALSO YOU CAN EASILY ADD A SMOKER TO THE SIDE FOR EVEN MORE VERSATILITY.

Only had it two days and cooked on it both days! Perfect size for me and my ribs, stuffed peppers and chicken! Did it all at one time! I really like that it's big enough to grill off heat and the removable bottom tray makes it easy to empty out coals! Love it so much I just bought a cover to keep it safe and dry so I'll have many years of great bbq!!

Love the cast iron grates. The main reason buying this particular grill was the fact that it had cast iron grates. This was a good buy. The assembly was more of a pain than difficult. The instructions are not clear on some aspects (warming rack) but am glad that it is secured with nuts. Hind sight being 20/20 I should have went with the larger one with smoker.

Best value for monwy. With this price you can not get a better grill than this. Heavy surface which is the key for this grill. Clean ip can be little messy. You will have to take out thE whole ash tray out to clean up. Apart from that best grill you can get around thir price.

Shipping issues. Besides the grill being bent all to hell and paint chipping and flaking off which was probably done during shipping its a really solid grill. I didnt notice until it was 90% put together or i would've sent it back. The cast iron grates are low quality but look to still be fairly solid. Being bent all to hell the grates dont want to go on very good and its hard to maintain a consistent heat because its not sealed good now. But i can be fixed. The instructions are vague in the beginning where it needs to be a little more descriptive because it matters later in assembly. Just dont tighten anything up until you get further along and youll be fine. Other than that it's nice and sturdy with a large grilling surface for individual or small gatherings. Adjustable heat hieght is nice. It also reminds you to season the grill which alot of people dont realize needs to be done to a new grill.
★★★★★ Jame Gumb May 12, 2020 · Orlando
Decent for the price. We needed a grill to get us by for a few months until our outdoor kitchen gets built and we haven't had a Charcoal grill in a long time. Set up took 2-3 hrs but I was doing it by myself mostly and the whole thing isn't very sturdy so we won't be moving it very much. Only cooked once so far and seemed to work great, of course the smell and taste of the food is way better than gas grills. I got a chimney starter as recommended on this products box and it started no problem, burned nice and hot for at least an hour.
★★★★★ Dave May 6, 2020 · Florida
Not to terrible. The instructions are somewhat vague. You can gather from visual what needs to be done, but nowhere in any step does it address the support tubes that connect the legs and supports the bottom half of the drum. It's obvious by looking at the picture but the parts are never mentioned. Also how does it come with a grease cup hanger but not a $0.10 cent grease cup. That's pretty lame.

So far so good! This is a great grill for all kinds of gatherings. I bought this grill a week ago and have grilled on it 3 times already. Steak, burgers and brats, all charred to perfection.

★★★★★ Vivi January 6, 2020 · El Paso, TX
Major upgrade from a walkabout. I grill a lot on my old 20" coal grill that had seen better days (one of it's legs is almost rusted off). This purchase was a real pleasure to put together (I like to assemble things). The weight of it (75lbs) feels like solid steel. This thing looks like a beast! I wanted a grill that could cook 12 burgers at once and last longer than a few years. What I got was cast iron grates, the ability to adjust the height of the fire plate, plastic coated feet, thermometer, grate lifter, a warming tray and a smoke stack! 10/10 I'm seasoning this guy up right now and I can't wait to break it in. Just a heads up the instructions for the "lid pins" and x2 shoulder screws are actually the same part. I really appreciated that the parts came labeled in a hard plastic and cardboard display and not in a thousand tiny plastic bags that I'd have to sort through. If you are wanting to go cheap and thinking of an Aussie walkabout, don't. I highly recommend spending the 50$ extra bills on this beauty instead. This guy will last much longer than 3 years.

Good small grill. This is a great small grill for the price. It has the same quality of build as all other Char-Griller charcoal grills with a smaller footprint. I have also attached the side fire box to it. My only complaint would be with the side fire box attached, it has too small of a foot print to be stable and I wound up having to anchor two of the legs on the opposite side to the ground to stop it from possibly tipping.

Good grill/smoker for the money but has several issues. I bought this model along with the side fire box as my first foray into smoking meat. I had a tight budget and a tight space on my patio that the grill needed to fit into and this model fit the bill perfectly in both accounts. Assembly was a pain and requires 2 people but it's not terrible. Mine took about two hours including the side fire box. It's a little rickety and the wheels are terrible but you get what you pay for I guess. I now have about 20 cooks under my belt using this grill/smoker and my biggest issue has been controlling temps. The included thermometer is junk so I added two analog thermometers and mounted them to the front of the lid at either end at grate level. This now gives me an accurate temp reading but there is about a 50-60 degree difference between the left side and the right with the side next to the fire box obviously being the hottest. This makes it nearly impossible to use the entire cooking surface which is already limited to begin with. I tried many different things to try even out the temps but nothing worked and it annoyed me bad enough that I finally broke down and ordered an after market steel baffle plate system that works wonders. Now my temps are within 5-10 degrees from left to right. The other mod that has worked wonders is to extend the smoke stack down to the grate level using aluminum dryer vent hose. This forces the smoke to circulate inside the grill instead of just going up an

Wrangler 23 inch Charcoal Grill. Perfect size for how I BBQ now. Sleek looking black. Didn't think about the metal grill handle and shelves getting HOT. Downsized from my 13 year old 35 inch Char-Griller with wood shelves and grill handle. Should have stuck with wood in the smaller size. Haven't grilled on it yet. Only seasoned the grill and grates which is when I experienced how hot the grill handle and shelves get and the inability to control the temperature (heat). Plan to slap some ribs on the grill tomorrow. This is my third Char-Griller so I do believe my ribs will turn out great.

Great value for small yo medium grilling. I have only had theChar-Griller Wrangler mode 2823 for about a week. Assembly was not difficult and took a couple of hours. The intrusion were clear in most cases, but could use some improvement. I went through the seasoning process for about a day. I then started out with burgers with charcoal and mesquite chips. This further enhanced to seasoning process. The next day I went to ribs using charcoal and hickory and came out great. I already have a large side box Texas style smoker and wanted a smaller grill for small to medium grilling only. The adjustable charcoal racks are awesome and clean-up easy with the easy lift charcoal tray.

Good Buy. I've had this model for over a year, it works great, gives meat excellent smoked flavor if using wood chunks with charcoal. Only recommendations would be sturdier base and less leak holes. Going to purchase the side fire box so I can fully smoke with all the grates.

I cured it and now I'm sold on it !! GREAT GRILL !! I bought my grill already assembled from Lowes. By the looks of the manual, assembly would have been lengthy for me. I seasoned or CURED the grill which was very easy to do! I was able to maintain 250 degrees dead on for the 2 + hours, then lower heat. Using the air vents was easy & I'm NEW TO CHARCOAL. I'm used to gas grills in the past. I hope to be grilling with this for at least a decade! I already ordered the custom fit cover for it from Home Depot too!

First time owner, hooked for life. This grill was easy to assemble and easy to season. I like how the grates are three different sections, works great for medium to small items. With the warming grate installed it's great for long items needing long and slow cook times.

Disappointed. This is my 3rd char griller brand product and the 1st time I have been disappointed in the product. Aside from the fact that the assembly instructions didn't match the parts, this grill feels very wobbly and unsteady. Needs an addition brace on the legs.

Great bang for your buck!! Highly recommend! At my old house I had a Super Pro model. Loved it so much that when I moved into a house with tighter room (in town now, vs country side previously) I looked for something like my old Super Pro. This Wrangler 2823 (although I prefer the wooden shelves) is a slightly smaller version. All the same features and quality. Absolutely great grill, with all the options and features of the larger models.

Excellent Grill. After first use (and clean up) my analysis is excellent product. Designed well, attractive design, draws well, easy to use, Very good product if you don't need a big grill.

Excellent. Great BBQ if you know how to use it. Very satisfied. Beef stakes get done very well and juicy.
