$50Approx. MSRP

Great fortight budgets small spaces & travel real charcoal flavor

A reasonable budget pick for occasional portable charcoal grilling, but not for anyone wanting a grill that holds up to frequent, heavy use.

Pros

Simple, portable design good for tailgates and small gatherings
Once coals are established, it holds a fairly even cooking temperature
Locking lid, dual vents, and ash catcher are useful extras for the price
Easy on the wallet ($50)

Watch-outs

Handle sits close to the lid and can get hot to the touch
No hook for hanging the lid while cooking
Construction feels budget-grade rather than built to last
Tight cooking area (200 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

Wide charcoal grate spacing lets coals fall through and can block the vent
Grate flange is shallow, so the grate can shift and spill coals when stirring
Lightweight construction feels flimsy and paint can bubble at high heat
Getting a solid, evenly-lit charcoal bed often takes more than one attempt
