$199Approx. MSRP
Great fortight budgetssmall spaces & travelreal charcoal flavor

A well-engineered classic kettle grill for a beginner who wants to learn charcoal cooking with better hardware than a basic kettle, though it's too new to know its long-term durability.

Pros

  • Cast aluminum leg joints and a rust-resistant aluminum damper are sturdier than typical kettle grills
  • Segmented charcoal basket allows real two-zone cooking control
  • Side lever top vent is more convenient to adjust mid-cook than a typical twist knob
  • Easy on the wallet ($199)

Watch-outs

  • Standard kettle-size 362 sq in cooking area limits capacity for big groups
  • New model with limited long-term reliability data available yet
  • Premium price compared to entry-level kettle grills from other brands
  • Tight cooking area (362 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Too new on the market for a reliable pattern of independent owner complaints to have emerged yet
