Royal Gourmet portable charcoal grill CC1619 — convertible lid-to-grill, 217 sq in, lightweight 17.6 lb

The Royal Gourmet CC1619 is a lightweight, convertible portable charcoal grill that doubles the cooking area by turning the lid into a second grilling zone.

Compact and engineered for life on the move, the CC1619 packs a full charcoal grilling experience into a 19 x 15 x 22-inch body weighing just 17.6 lb. It’s built for tailgates, balconies, beach days and short camping trips where carrying a full-size grill isn’t practical. Porcelain-enameled steel cooking grates, a removable charcoal pan, and a simple latch-and-handle design make setup, transport, and cleanup straightforward.

How does the lid convert into an extra grilling zone?

Open the lid and replace the lower charcoal pan with an additional pan (sold separately) to create a second heat chamber above the original body. With a griddle or grill grate installed in the lid you gain an elevated cooking surface for more simultaneous food prep.

• Upper lid accepts a charcoal pan and cooking grate for added area
• Lid-to-grill conversion expands usable surface without extra footprint
• Works with griddles or standard grates for flexible cooking styles

What size and capacity should I expect for everyday grilling?

The CC1619 offers a 217 sq. in. cooking surface (roughly 17.32" x 12.52"), suitable for feeding small groups of 2–4 people. It handles burger patties, sausages, kebabs and small cuts comfortably while keeping the entire unit easy to carry.

• 217 sq. in. porcelain-enameled steel grates for even searing
• Best for 2–4 people or side-dish cooking at larger gatherings
• Compact footprint fits patio tables, tailgate spaces, and car trunks

How portable and user-friendly is it for travel and cleanup?

At 17.6 lb and with a built-in latch and top handle, the grill is optimized for grab-and-go use. The charcoal pan is removable and rests on a support frame for quick exchange, which simplifies ash disposal and maintenance after cooking.

• Lightweight design that’s easy to lift by one person
• Latch buckle prevents accidental opening during transport
• Removable charcoal pan and accessible frame speed cleanup

What comes in the box and what extras might I need?

The package includes one charcoal pan and one porcelain-enameled steel cooking grate; an additional charcoal pan and extra grate or griddle are optional for converting the lid into a second cooking zone. Accessories like a lid-mounted griddle or spare charcoal pans enhance versatility.

• Included: 1 charcoal pan, 1 cooking grate (porcelain-enameled steel)
• Optional: second charcoal pan, additional grill grate or griddle for lid conversion
• Ideal accessories: charcoal, lighter tool, grill brush, heatproof gloves

Who this grill is for: The Royal Gourmet CC1619 is made for people who want authentic charcoal flavor without hauling a full-size unit — apartment dwellers, campers on short trips, tailgaters, and anyone who values portability and the ability to expand cooking space when needed. It’s a practical choice for small gatherings and for cooks who like to experiment with a lid-as-grill setup while keeping weight and footprint minimal.
