Customer Reviews for Kingsford 36 in. Ranchers XL Charcoal Grill/Smoker in Black

Well built smoker however the door did not match the curve of the barrel and leaked smoke and heat considerably. Also the thermometer is way off. Like 100 degrees and 275 mark. I’m sure there are better options for this much money.

Very good grill

Got it and noticed the door was a bit crooked, caused smoke to be released on the bottom of the lip. Ordered a couple of clamps to have it sealed tight. I was surprised that it held its temp and didn’t really leak smoke. I seasoned it for 4 hrs and smoked some ribs the next day. So far so good. I’d suggest upgrading the cooking grates because they are very thin and warp with the heat. It’s the same grate used for the outside of the pit. Other than that, I’m happy with my purchase.

Cook in smoker the weekend food came out great, can't wait till next weekend.

The grill looks great & I know it will do the job!

This drill is very handy and it surprised me the way it gets the job done

Really good for smoking a nice size brisket. I love it!

This was worth the wait. Heavy duty Steele construction unfortunately it's been raining every weekend. Now I'm waiting for the Kingsford cover too return back in stock

I bought this same Grill/Smoker 2 years ago at Home Depot but it was branded "River Grille" , the legs are rusted off , the fire box bottom is rusted out completely (as in gone). Replacement parts are unavailable . What a waste of money !

Great Product! That’s all I have to say. Straight to the point!!!

I haven't used it yet, but I am anxiously awaiting that warm beautiful spring day when I can show everyone what I got!

My Kingsford grill smoked a 30# brisket burning seasoned oak perfectly. This beast requires lots of wood due to its large size n cooking area. My rack of ribs smoked up well. Sausage links n tortillas heated up quickly, so use the 3rd grill! Buy it! I love how strong n durable the cast iron feels.

Smokes good

This grill is overrated, I bought this grill in July the end of month. I tried the grill in early October, fire box have holds in it, and the gauge isn't reading the right temperature, I will never buy a Kingsford grill ever, I've use it about four times, quality is very poor

LOVE IT

Just got this smoker/grill and over all we love it. We took advantage of the free in-store assembly and everything was great except for one thing. When we cranked it up we used another thermometer inside the grill to make sure the included thermometer was correct. It was way off and it just kinda spinned around. I will be contacting the store for resolution. The company should be able to send us a new thermometer to replace the defective one. Hopefully we won't have any trouble with this. Other than that, we absolutely love it. Mu husband smoked some wild pig and it turned out great!! We would definitely recommend it to anyone. Really holds the smoke. Very heavy and well made.

Truly Pleased with this product.

I’m quite happy with this. Well made and I’ve been able to hold the temperatures I want. No complaints or frustrations with it so far.

I recently replaced my old smoker with this one. I've gotta say its awesome and the only reason i didn't give it five stars was the design of the fire box tray. Its small and and doesn't hold anything and will let the hot coals fall threw to the fire box bottom. This will prematurely burn out the bottom. i built a drawer type box to hold the coals off the bottom and for easy cleanup just pull out drawer and dump. Other that its a nice smoker should last for years.

Exceptional product even temperature and quality thermostat for reliability or Big Daddy Bones BBQ.
