I have grilled a number of times on my NBS (Father of the Charbroil
Silver). My grilling is generally a short time cook, so fighting the
top grates to add fuel isn't an issue. I have no difficulty getting enough
heat to satisfy me. I doubt that it reaches Kamado heat, but it does
reach selfcleaning heat whatever that is. It's not much of a problem to
get the belly of the beast Cherry Red. Not that I would want to do that,
but I did accidently once and it neatly took the powder coat off the bottom
of the barrel.
I don't grill in my firebox for the simple reason that my barrel smoker is
so close to the firedoor on my NBS that tending fuel via that access is
a PITA. Once I rearrange my screen room, I'll change my modus
operendi because the firebox grate is more then big enough for my
grilling needs.
I'm trying to understand how the chargriller with side firebox is going to
be an appreciable improvement over the existing Charbroil Silver. If the
man truly wants serious cooking area, he's not going to get it on the
low side of $250.
