Solid Grill, Minor Assembly Hiccup

This STAR BBQ charcoal grill is a beast! The 24-inch size is perfect for our family gatherings, and the ExGrate really does make a difference for even cooking. My only complaint was that the post-mount griller rim was a bit finicky to get perfectly level during installation, but once it was set, it's been rock solid.

Sarah K.★★★★★May 5, 2012
Authentic Charcoal Flavor, Elevated!

Wow, this STAR BBQ setup is exactly what I've been looking for! The open-fire cooking with charcoal gives everything such an incredible flavor you just can't get with gas. The expanded cooking space is fantastic for smoking and grilling simultaneously, making me feel like a pro chef.

Edward Q.★★★★★December 23, 2017
Best Open-Fire System I've Owned

As a serious BBQ enthusiast, I've tried many different setups, and this Sunstone STAR BBQ is top-tier. The build quality is exceptional, and the versatility of the post-mount griller rim means I can adjust heat precisely. It's truly an ultimate versatile open-fire cooking station, and worth every penny.

Jeff M.★★★★☆May 12, 2011
Good Quality, A Bit Pricey

The STAR BBQ 24" charcoal grill base is definitely well-made and feels durable, which is what I expect from Sunstone. It cooks beautifully, and the ExGrate is a nice touch for preventing flare-ups. While it's a great product, the price point felt a little steep for what it is, even with the quality.

Q
How do I clean the charcoal base and the ExGrate after a messy cookout? Is it a pain to maintain?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Cleaning the STAR BBQ™ 24" Charcoal Grill Base and ExGrate is surprisingly simple. For the ExGrate, burn off any residue, then brush with a stiff wire brush and wipe with a damp cloth. The charcoal base can be easily swept out once cooled, and for deeper cleaning, a mild detergent and water with a non-abrasive sponge will keep your STARBBQ-24CHBS-PMR-EXG-CRT looking great. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Q
How difficult is it to install the STAR BBQ™ 24" Charcoal Grill Base, especially the post-mount part?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Installation of the STAR BBQ™ 24" Charcoal Grill Base with Post-Mount Griller Rim & ExGrate is straightforward for anyone with basic DIY skills. The post-mount griller rim is designed for easy assembly into the base, and clear instructions are provided. We recommend having two people for lifting the base into place for safety.

Q
Can I use other grill grates with this STARBBQ-24CHBS-PMR-EXG-CRT model, or am I stuck with the ExGrate?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
While the included ExGrate is a premium feature offering excellent heat distribution and versatility, the STAR BBQ™ 24" Charcoal Grill Base is designed to be adaptable. Many standard 24-inch round grill grates should fit, but for optimal performance and a perfect fit, we always recommend using STAR BBQ™ branded accessories designed for this specific model, the STARBBQ-24CHBS-PMR-EXG-CRT.
