Great fortight budgetsfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A dependable everyday charcoal grill for someone who wants years of reliable use and easy ash cleanup, but not ideal if precise low-temperature smoking is the priority.

Pros

  • Front loading door lets you add fuel without disturbing food on the grate
  • Rated excellent for ash removal and very good for coal/vent adjustments in independent testing
  • One owner reported 7 years of use with grates and finish still in good shape
  • Loads of cooking room — 790 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($330)

Watch-outs

  • Not well suited to holding low, steady temperatures despite the front door helping somewhat
  • 790 sq in is smaller than some other Char-Griller barrel models
  • Insulated body adds weight, less portable than lighter models
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas
