Score: 81/100
Royal Gourmet CC1830 30-inch
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Weber Jumbo Joe 18-inch grill provides a compact, lightweight design with solid heat retention and adjustable dampers, making it great for on-the-go grilling. Its small cooking area and absence of a built-in thermometer limit performance for larger meals. Best suited for tailgaters and campers needing a portable charcoal solution.
The Royal Gourmet CC1830 30-inch barrel grill delivers a generous 811 sq in cooking space, offset smoker, and lid-mounted thermometer for versatile backyard cooking. Assembly can be time-consuming and the basic steel build may not match higher-end models. Perfect for families and smoking enthusiasts wanting ample area without a high price.
