Royal Gourmet CC1830 30-inch
Score: 77/100Rankings

The Weber Master-Touch 22-inch grill adds a hinged grate, built-in thermometer and a removable high-capacity ash catcher, delivering versatile performance and premium build quality. Its substantial weight and lack of a cover reduce portability and convenience. Best suited for backyard enthusiasts who prioritize durability and cooking flexibility.

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.
