Saw one in person today. For the price, a nice grill with some good features.

Char-Broil® TRU-Infrared™ Kettleman™ Charcoal Grill

This Char-Broil® TRU-Infrared? Kettleman? grill features a sturdy construction that is built to last. The air damper system gives you superior heat control, and its huge ash tray makes cleanup simple.

Weird air inlet. No damper on them

The top vent is huge so I'm guessing that's how they control temps.

Well, it’s cheap.

edit: huh, completely missed that it's a charcoal, not an electric.

26" is a large for that price. I watched the vid and it was funny how much smoke was leaking when he closed the vent. Did not see any bottom vent control. If I see one in person I will have to investigate more. I do like the hinged lid.

I believe the air inlets are the “360 degree” round holes that are all around the lower body. The lid vent is very large and has to do all the temperature control.

I actually did a restore of one of these once. It isn’t built up to Weber standards, but it isn’t awful either. I also believe they are 22 inch not 26. At least you can use regular Weber kettle size accessories.

Yea I saw that and almost bit, but the cooking surface is only 360 square inches same as a 22.5" weber.
