Good value for the money and sturdy unit
"Easy to assemble and sturdy unit that works well. I would have awarded 5 stars but there is no height adjustment. My fault, I should have caught that…lol, looked at many."

Reviews
Perfect Grill for a Small Group
"I was looking for review for this item and could not find any in detail. So here is mine after a couple of uses. Assembly: Not the easiest since the instructions provided are slightly different from the actual product so you will have to figure out what goes where. We did not find an exact how-to video but we managed to put it together. Its easier with 2 people. Use: The first time you use it, you need to heat it up to burn off factory residue. It was a bit tricky to light up the first time but we go the hang of it from the second time. The temperature gauge helps especially to see if the grill is hot enough to add food, and when cooling it down as well. The top and bottom vents are an excellent feature. The ash pan is slightly tricky to insert and got scratched the first time we used it. The grill maintains its temperature well. My only gripe is that the conical insert inside hangs by 2 hooks and needs to be assembled carefully each time. This could have been designed better. We found the grill heats up better, more evenly and hotter, and burns longer and more evenly when the vortex system is assembled properly (instead of placing the cone at the bottom) when we misplaced the hooks once. Ashes do collect on the side of the kettle so needs to be cleaned if you intend to use this as portable. The ash pan is an excellent feature and helped contain all of the ashes that fell down from the kettle, though a large amount also stuck to the sides of the kettle. Portability: We got this grill to be portable and we found that it can be transported horizontally with the lid removed in the back of an SUV (ours is a Mazda CX-5) with enough space for our wagon trolly and other picnic items. We wrapped the bottom of the kettle in a garbage bag and knotted it to prevent ashes from falling out and it worked very well. The conical structure for the vortex system tends to fall out so you will have to handle the ashy grill and cone again when you make it upright. This could have definitely been improved. We have to keep track of the little clips to make sure we don't lose them. Results: The grill is large enough to grill multiple items and the resulting food is delicious. Compared to other similarly sized grills that our friends used during a windy bbq picnic, this grill retained heat and functioned well. Once it is preheated, it cooks food consistently and evenly, and we were serving up bbq while others were struggling to use their grills. Add food once the white smoke has reduced and don't overfill with charcoal otherwise the food and your clothes will smell like bbq for days. Its the perfect size for a small group of people < 10, unless you plan a longer bbq session."

"This grill was a little difficult to assemble but we made it! It cooked the meat thoroughly & it was so good. Was not to difficult to clean! Will be using PLENTY of times this summer!"
Perfect kettle grill!
"We received the Napoleon 18 inch charcoal kettle grill as a promotion for review, and so far we are loving it! Putting it together took about 30 minutes, and the parts seemed to be decent quality. The 18 inch fits a surprisingly good amount of food on it. We are a family of 5, and we easily fit our dinner on it with room to spare. Use was very easy and intuitive. There is an easy release ash pan below the kettle for simple cleaning. Overall, I would recommend this grill."
Easy Assembly
"Assembling the grill was easy. It feels durable enough to not be blown over. As far as grilling goes it cooked the food thoroughly. It's a really nice size, doesn't take up much space while allowing me to cook enough food. Cleaning was simple."
