King-Griller sub-brand barrel-style charcoal grill with 310 sq in of cooking space, aimed at compact patio spaces.

$140Approx. MSRP

A solid lightweight barrel grill for someone grilling for a small group who values portability over long-term durability of small parts.

Pros

  • Holds a steady temperature with minimal vent adjustment
  • Light (under 40 lbs) but feels sturdy
  • Easy-dump ash pan simplifies cleanup
  • Easy on the wallet ($140)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Basic feature set — no gauge extras beyond damper control
  • Some plastic/metal small parts (ash pan, grate clips) not built for years of hard use
  • Modest 315 sq in cooking area limits how much you can cook at once
  • Tight cooking area (310 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Wheels reported as wobbly by some owners
  • One long-term owner reported the ash pan warping and grate cross-rods breaking after a season
