I planted some succulents last year in a repurposed BBQ grill and now they are really big. But I want to keep them in the container I planted them. Are they fine staying in the container or do I need to take them out and plant them elsewhere?

You can pull off any "babies" and stick them in good soil elsewhere. I have Blue Chalk Fingers that I simply cut back to the stalk each year and they come back. Are these hen and chicks, or...what? Succulents are my favorite and I have them everywhere. They are tough as nails. As long as they are doing well where they are at, they should be fine. You may think about fertilizer or re-doing the soil if they show signs of ill-health.

I think they are ok in the container they are in. They have a small root system usually.
They don't require fertilizing.
Thanks for this!

Lark, if the plants look healthy I'd leave them where they are.

On the other hand, you could Google something like "carrying for succulents" and see what comes up
Thanks for this!
