Great fortight budgetssmall spaces & travelreal charcoal flavor

A decent grab-and-go charcoal grill for tailgating or small patios if you stick to lump charcoal, but skip it if you want true low-and-slow smoking or precise temperature settings.

Pros

  • Gravity-fed charcoal convenience in a smaller, portable package
  • Cart makes it easy to move around the yard or take to a tailgate
  • Performs well and holds temperature steady when using lump charcoal
  • Easy on the wallet ($249)

Watch-outs

  • Real-world burn time falls short of the advertised roughly 4 hours
  • Minimum temperature is around 250°F, so true low-and-slow smoking is limited
  • Cart ergonomics are awkward for taller users
  • Unmarked temperature dial makes fine control difficult

Known niggles

  • Cart height is low, the handle can hit an average-to-tall user (over ~6 ft) above the knee
  • Cart is only "removable" by unscrewing it from underneath, not a real quick-release despite marketing
  • Doesn't hold the advertised burn time in practice, especially with charcoal briquettes, which struggle to reach temperature (lump charcoal recommended)
  • Temperature dial has no numbers/markings, making precise settings guesswork
