I just finished putting this grill together by my self. I used a small cart to set the base on while I worked. If I had a helper at the time I could have really used one. The assembly took me about 40 minutes total. This thing is HEAVY and weighs in at 190#. I use to buy Weber grills but the wheels always fell off. This is a strong unit and has beefy legs and wheels.

The cooking space is huge. I bet you can fit 30 burgers at a time. The grill has adjustable coal rack that allows for slower or faster cooking. It also has a heavy duty ash tray.

The price here seems ridiculous as I purchased mine on sale at Orchard Supply Hardware for $225. The regular price is $299.00. This is a great grill and should give you many, many years of service.

There are more expensive wagons, but I replaced a CB-940 that I had for 30 years with this one. Who gets a moderately priced grill to last 30 years? Char-Broil.

This grill was relatively quick and easy to assemble but parts of the process are definitely easier with 2 people, particularly mounting the hood to the body. Also, it is about impossible to attach the Char-Broil plastic logo to the front, so I am going to use those 2 holes in the hood for something useful instead, like hanging hooks.

There are deficiencies.

1) The cutting boards arrived with some checking (splits) and they are a single piece of soft pine, apparently. Needless to say these will warp and split further if left exposed to the elements. I have sanded them down already and applied mineral oil, and I keep them indoors.

2) There is no hook to hang the cooking grid lifter tool on. Annoying.

3) The charcoal grate suspension mechanism has 2 major annoyances. First, charcoal falls of the end, because there is a large gap on each end and the sides. Second, when raised to the highest level, the lid of the grill is difficult to put down. However, to be fair, it is probably not that likely that a user will lower the lid if they have the coals at the highest position. I am going to heat these up and bend them inwards to resolve this but it is a design flaw.

4) There is no accessories hook rack (see point (2) above). No place to hang the tools.

Do not presume that annotances 1-4 mean I do not love this grill! 4****

I went to Orchard Supply Hardware on-line and yes they are $199.99... Could not believe the price difference.. I also made sure that the model numbers matched.. Charbroil also make a cheaper model, Sante Fe which is less $$'s..

Honest reviews on Char-Broil CB940X Charcoal Grill

The CB940X ROCKS! I inherited a Char-Broil 450 that was bought in the 1960¡¦s. After 50+ years of use it finely rusted out this winter. So I ordered the CB940X. I was surprised when the delivery guy asked for help unloading the 190lbs box. WOW! This thing is made to last. I challenge anyone to find a heavier gage steel grill for this price. Even the wheels have ball berrings and a grease zerk.

My brother bought an el-cheap-o char grill 3 years ago and it¡¦s falling apart already. You¡¦ve seen them ~$180.00 and weigh only 60lbs. Don¡¦t waste your time and money on the cheap stuff. Get the original.

I'm not sure what it is about men and their grills; but this one met the standards for my lifemate. After much searching, I decided on this one for his birthday. It does take time to put together, but the end results were worth it. It has enough grilling area to handle foods for a large gathering and cooks evenly across the grill. My one disappointment....the lid is quite heavy which makes it not as easy for me to use.
