Great fortight budgetssmall spaces & travelreal charcoal flavor

A fine budget grab-and-go charcoal grill for one or two people who don't need a thermometer or rock-solid stability, but not for anyone cooking regularly for a family.

Pros

  • Compact and lightweight, easy to move for patio, camping or tailgating
  • Cast iron grates deliver a good charcoal sear
  • Simple to assemble, decent build quality for the price
  • Easy on the wallet ($130)

Watch-outs

  • No built-in thermometer so you're guessing on temperature
  • Legs/wheels feel flimsy under the light frame
  • Small cooking area, really only for 1-2 people at a time
  • Tight cooking area (250 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Wobbly legs and cheap-feeling wheels affect stability and mobility
  • Smoke escapes around the lid instead of staying inside
  • No grease trap, drippings pool and make cleanup messier
