Dyna-Glo DGN405DNC-D Charcoal BBQ

I received this grill as a father's day gift from my children, I have used only propane grills over the last 25 years because charcoal always seemed to messy and I couldn't control the heat, this grill has proven me wrong as I can control the heat quite easily , and no mess I added extra charcoal thru the door and and just let the grill cool down I remoed ash drawer and dumped it out, wiped it out and re-installed, then wiped interior of grill including grates.Easy assembly, and definitely well made would recommend to everyone .Note:Remember to season your new grill before using, I did and food tasted awesome --Rick in Illinois

I have used this grill twice since I bought it & am so happy that I'm writing a review before I really give it the test of time. The biggest contributor to my happiness is the fact that you have given it the ability to breathe. Fires need air, so many grills miss that simple concept. Gotta have air to charbroil. YOU NAILED IT. Thank you.

I bought this grill for my husband and its wonderful. It arrived quick and was packed really well. The direction to assemble were easy ,parts sorted well. We seasoned as per instruction and grilling has been great. We don't fight over who empties ashes any more because its so simple with this grill.

After assembly,put steaks on the grill,every thing went well,then the next day it was time to empty the charcoal ash, that tray is only one inch deep! Pulling the tray out some of the ash fell to the basket and patio, very poor design,If I didn't use it I would have taken it back!

We actually initially bought a simple Weber charcoil grill but after some great tips from Alton Brown's "Good Eats" on grilling, returned it (thankfully I hadn't taken it out of the box) and ordered the Dyna Pro. Far be it from me to throw hyperbole into a review but this truly worked out great for us. The assembly was pretty simple taking about an hour to put together. The materials are pretty durable so I think it should last us a while. Just don't do any races with it as the wheels are a little cheap. Love the charcoal cage crank feature. The ventilation features make it relatively easy to control your cooking temperature although the door and side dampers are a little flimsy. Not a deal breaker though. Overall, we really like this grill and it's been very easy to use. I highly recommend buying a charcoal chimney to go with it. I would say the biggest drawback (and why I'm rating it 4 out of 5) is that GHP does not make a grill cover for this so we're going to have to improvise with a generic. brand.
