Spring came early!

I am so excited that my grill arrived! It took some time to put together; I required using tools not provided in the box and the instructions weren't very clear but its a great quality grill with many years of use for myself and my family! Definitely recommend the purchase!

Cute and functional

The grill came in a box exactly like it is picture. It is functional for all for my children to be able to eat at once. It's portable, so you can take it camping. I would hundred percent recommend this product.

If you have a yard, you need a grill!

I lived in Maine, for many years, and everybody had a grill. If you have a yard, you need a grill: backyard, barbecues; family gatherings; Father's Day! How else will Dad show off his grill skills? The NK14 Charcoal Kettle Grill looks like a top of the line specimen. But, since it's blizzard, season in Boston, I won't get to try it till spring… and, I can't wait to smell the beautiful aroma of blackened barbecue! NOTE: some assembly required. By "some" I mean there are a lot of little parts and YOU need to figure out where they all go. My dog's expressions capture my feelings about assembling items with lots of moving parts. Photo #1: surprise quickly turned to fear at my initial shock of the box opening." I don't think I can do this." Photo #2: self-doubt turns to sarcasm. "You've got to be kidding me. So… THIS is why I need a man!" (All kidding aside, I would make sure no small children are near, as these are definitely a choking hazard.)

Solid unit, weak instructions

The Napoleon NK14 Charcoal Kettle Grill has pros and cons. The body and grates and are sturdy and I am impressed. The legs are thinner but still feel solid. The latches for the lid are flimsy. The assembly took almost an hour and the instructions are not clear as to which size bolts go on which spots since there are multiple sizes of bolts in the assembly kit. You need your own tools to assemble it. Also, they accidentally put two identical instruction manuals in the box and one extra random bolt. When you fire up the charcoal, as soon as you put the lid on, it puts the flame out. It held the heat well and did a great job cooking our burgers. It is small, but not collapsible so you still need somewhere to store it. Overall, it is a great little grill and could cook about 6 large burgers on it at once or 8 smaller ones.

Good!

The instructions for putting this together was extremely lacking but it was simple enough to put together that I didn't really need them! Standard grill that works how it's supposed to

Amazing Grill, Horrible Instructions

I like to think of myself as an expert at putting things together at least if there's a good manual involved. This was not a fun experience. The instruction manual didn't make note of what screws, bolts, or washers were required where and I was left to guess based on how many of each I had. In the end I was left with extra so I'm sure somewhere I'll find out I did something wrong. Otherwise this is a gorgeous bbq and honestly cooks food to perfection. No complaints here. Final verdict: 10/10 on the actual bbq. -1/10 on instruction manual.

We are sorry to hear that the NK14K-LEG-3 instructions did not describe properly the screw installation, we will take this back to our teams as feeback. We are glad that in the end, you are enjoying grilling on your new charcoal. Thanks!

Sturdy Little Grill

The grill itself is very well made and feels durable. It took approximatley 30 minutes to put together and not all of the screw holes lined up exactly. After assembly was finished it looked nice and I did like the handle on the lid as well as the racks inside, they are thick and don't wiggle around.

Kettle Grill

I am so excited to be chosen to receive this grill. It comes with an accuprobe thermometer and has a shelf stand that can be used. It is very strong and seems very adjustable based on what temperature you are aiming for. Highly recommended.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
