Damaged parts and no contact number to call. Problem Resolved !!!

Arrived with a damaged side support. I don't want to go through the hassle of re-packing and returning this large item. I just want a replacement support but so far, no contact numbers available to make this happen. Talked to Cindy at PK directly and she shipped the part within 20 minutes. Best customer service I have ever seen. Thanks Cindy.....Thanks PK Grills!

used it mercilessly and loved it every time I used it

I bought one in 1969, used it mercilessly and loved it every time I used it. Gave it to kids several years ago and missed it a lot. When I realized they were making them again I bought a new one. Same old stuff, greatest grill I ever used. My only negative comment is that the cooking grill is a little flimsy and replacement is pretty expensive. Still, five stars, period!

This is the welter weight champion of grills

All I can say is .. "WOW". This little grill cooks like a champ! After my old Webber gave up it's ghost - I deliberated long and hard over this grill. It's not cheap, but it has rave reviews. So I took the plunge, and can only say how impressed I am! The grill took all of 5 minutes to assemble, - only a few nuts and bolt for the frame. But my golly is this thing well made. Very sturdy and high quality. After having done 5 cooks, I must admit this PK grills and smokes perfectly. Air control and the tight casting make the heating very even. Burgers and Steaks came out perfect, with nice char marks. And the smoked brisket was to die for. Its not a huge grill, but perfect size for a small family. And quality, well it will last my life time .. and then some! Thanks PK for bringing this classic back to life.

Last grill I'll ever buy

This gem is awesomeness personified !! I've grilled steaks several times already and the grill stays hot FOREVER ! You can close the vents and put the thing out and reuse the left over lump charcoal.... My next project will be smoking a brisket !

Great results every time!

I love my grill! Sure it's smaller but I grilled up 50 steak shishkabobs for a big get together quite easily. The negative reviews about the ashes falling through is easily solved with a charcoal basket. I get that common sense isn't so common these days but the negative reviewer who complained about food falling off the side of the grate when they use a spatula on their hot dogs was a real doozie. Ever heard of grill tongs? I highly recommend this grill. The height is the only downside. It could stand to be a good foot taller. I use mine on the deck and stand on the ground to make using it more comfortable.

with great results. Grilled steaks

My husband loves this grill. We use our grill year around 2-4 times per week. Bought this as replacement for a Weber kettle-style grill. We have used it to grill and as a smoker, with great results. Grilled steaks, burgers, brats, pork chops, salmon. Smoked a whole KC strip roast, prime rib, whole chicken and ribs so far on this grill and have been happy with the results. This grill is heavy, really heavy. They mean it when they say it will last a lifetime! My husband likes that he can shut the heat down and reuse charcoal. We love the way it cooks; cooks fast with even heat. Only drawback is that we wish it was a little bigger, and wish it had a lip for flipping.

Great all round grill!!

I purchased this grill through Amazon last year and I wish I could give it a 7 for a rating! Barbecue is my hobby; I very rarely use my oven other than broiling fish. I have a Kamado and a pellet grill. I can’t say enough about those 2 grills because they are excellent. But I have to admit that my PK Grill is my go to grill. If I’m just cooking for myself or just 2 or 3 people and I want a few pieces of chicken, hamburgers, chops, hot dogs this grill is perfect. I do chicken with the indirect set up and smoke the chicken at about 325 degrees with apple wood chunks smoke and it comes out perfect every time. The grill holds the heat without any problem. By adjusting the top and bottom vents, you can achieve a convection air flow when smoking your meat. You just open the bottom vent and close the top vent on side of the charcoal and close the bottom vent and open the top vent on the side that has the meat. You get that great smoked flavor into what ever you’re cooking. Great all round grill!!

Best grill I ever owned

I bought my grill April 2014. I wanted to cook a variety of meats before rating it. I don't like to buy a product sight unseen but I used to work in an aluminum foundry in my younger days so I had some knowledge about the construction of it. This is the best grill I have ever owned!!!!! It works equally well for searing or smoking meats. The cooking chamber will last a lifetime. The grill and charcoal grates are heavier duty than other grills I have owned and replacement grates are available if needed. I did make two modifications. The first month the cover blew off the grill three times due to the wind(I live in the country). A trip to the upholstery shop and six grommets($10) with some bungee straps solved that problem. I also added a thermometer($46) to control the temp when smoking. Highly recommend the PK.

the best charcoal grill

Never thought there could be this much difference in ant two charcoal grills but the PK is by far, the best charcoal grill. I was sold on it by my sister at Thanksgiving a year ago. It will last longer than I will ever need.

Smoke Smoke Smoking

I have been using charcoal for the past 20 years, and between the Webers and Charbroilers, I could never get the smoke right. First time using it, the smoke stayed around 250 and I was able to grill up some hamburgers on the coal side. Not a large cooking area could be a problem for large parties which isn't one of mine.
