Great fortight budgetssmall spaces & travelreal charcoal flavor

Good cheap tabletop or firebox-add-on grill for tailgating or small cooks, but expect the paint to rust fairly fast and don't run it hot for long periods.

Pros

  • Very cheap way to get into charcoal grilling or add a smoker firebox
  • Portable — two side handles, under 50 lbs, no assembly headaches
  • Doubles as a tabletop grill or a horizontal offset smoker firebox
  • Easy on the wallet ($100)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • No wheels, no side shelf, no bottom storage rack
  • Paint/finish is not warrantied and degrades quickly with heat
  • Small cooking surface limits it to a couple people at a time
  • Tight cooking area (250 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Paint peels or the unit starts rusting after fairly light use, especially if run over 400°F
  • Provided leg spacers are often too short, causing the grill to sag slightly
