Patio Pro Grill E1515

Char-Griller's entry-level compact charcoal barrel grill with 250 sq in of cooking space and an insulated body rated up to 400°F.

$110Approx. MSRP

Good for a single person or couple wanting a cheap, compact charcoal grill for a small patio, but skip it if you want easy heat control or plan to cook for groups.

Pros

  • Small footprint good for patios, balconies and small yards
  • Heats up fast and gives a solid charcoal sear
  • Cheap enough to be a low-risk first charcoal grill
  • Easy on the wallet ($110)

Watch-outs

  • Tiny side shelf, barely fits a plate of raw meat
  • Difficult, fiddly assembly with mis-fitting parts reported
  • No thermometer built in
  • Tight cooking area (250 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Single-vent design makes temperature regulation frustrating for new users
  • Cast-iron grates are unseasoned out of the box so food sticks until well cured
  • Lid doesn't seal tightly so smoke escapes rather than circulating
