Royal Gourmet barrel charcoal grill CC1624 — 426 sq. in., porcelain-enameled grates, front & side shelves

The Royal Gourmet CC1624 is a barrel-style charcoal grill with 426 sq. in. of cooking area, porcelain-enameled grates, adjustable charcoal pan, and integrated front, side and bottom shelves for easy prep and storage.

Designed for backyard cooks who want the flavor of charcoal without fuss, the CC1624 combines roomy cooking space and practical storage into a compact, mobile package. Porcelain-coated grates deliver even heat and simple release, while a multi-position charcoal pan and adjustable vents let you dial in temperature for everything from searing steaks to slow-roasting ribs. Wheels and handy shelves keep tools and condiments close so you spend more time grilling and less time running back to the kitchen.

How much food can I grill at once?

The CC1624 provides 426 square inches of total cooking area — a 321 sq. in. primary grate and a 105 sq. in. warming rack — letting you cook for small groups or host larger gatherings by staging food between zones. The warming rack keeps finished items hot while you finish the next batch.

• 321 sq. in. main grilling surface fits multiple burgers or a few whole chickens
• 105 sq. in. warming rack for buns, sides, or rested meats
• Porcelain-enameled grates for consistent contact and easy cleaning

What features help control temperature and smoke?

The grill uses a stacked lid vent combined with a side airflow control to provide reliable air movement through the charcoal bed. A two-position, large-capacity charcoal pan changes the distance between coals and food, so you can shift from high-heat searing to lower, indirect cooking.

• Adjustable charcoal pan with two height settings for precise heat levels
• Built-in lid stack and side vent to regulate oxygen and smoke flow
• Heavy-duty porcelain grates retain heat, smoothing temperature fluctuations

How does the CC1624 make prep and service easier?

Royal Gourmet added practical storage and work surfaces to keep utensils, sauces, and accessories within arm’s reach. The front and side shelves provide dedicated prep space while the lower shelf and three tool hooks organize extra gear to reduce trips away from the grill.

• Front and side shelves for plating, seasoning, and resting tools
• Three side hooks for tongs, spatulas, and brushes
• Bottom shelf stores charcoal bags, trays, or cleaning supplies

How portable and durable is this charcoal grill?

This barrel grill balances sturdiness with mobility: a solid frame and durable materials withstand regular outdoor use while two wheels let you reposition the unit on patios or lawns. Porcelain-enameled grates resist rust and maintain a non-stick surface for long-term performance.

• Two wheels for easy movement across flat surfaces
• Porcelain-enameled cooking grates resist corrosion and stickiness
• Large charcoal pan holds up to 3.8 lbs. of fuel for extended cooks

Who is this for?

The Royal Gourmet CC1624 is well suited for homeowners and renters who prefer real charcoal flavor and need a versatile, no-nonsense grill for weekend barbecues, small parties, or family dinners. It’s a good fit if you want a balance of cooking surface, temperature control, and on-grill storage without stepping up to a full-size offset smoker or propane rig.
