Barrel Pro Charcoal Barrel Grill

785 sq in total cooking area charcoal barrel grill with a swing-away warming rack and adjustable charcoal tray.

$159Approx. MSRP

A good mid-size charcoal grill for someone who wants offset-smoker upgrade potential and cooks for larger groups, but budget extra assembly time and expect to inspect for shipping damage.

Pros

  • Large 785 sq in cooking area, good for bigger gatherings
  • Adjustable charcoal tray and dual dampers give decent heat control
  • Can be upgraded to an offset smoker with the optional side fire box
  • Loads of cooking room — 785 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($159)

Watch-outs

  • Assembly takes about 2 hours and is much easier with two people
  • Heavier and bulkier than smaller Char-Griller models, less portable
  • Shipping damage to accessories (racks) has been reported
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Some owners received units with a broken warming rack during shipping
