Professional 605 Charcoal Cart

The Professional 605 Charcoal Cart is a full-size stainless steel charcoal grill with 605 sq in of primary cooking area and 845 sq in total including the warming rack.

$1,649Approx. MSRP

Fine for someone who wants a big-capacity charcoal grill on wheels and doesn't need fine-grained temperature control, but skip it if precise low-and-slow airflow management is your priority — a kamado or dedicated smoker will do that better.

Pros

  • Large 605 sq in cooking surface with an adjustable-height charcoal grate
  • Front loading door lets you add charcoal mid-cook without opening the lid
  • Double-lined hood retains heat well
  • Loads of cooking room — 845 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Built to last (304 and 430 stainless steel with powder-coated aluminum components)

Watch-outs

  • Airflow control is a genuine weak point versus dedicated smokers/kamados
  • Mixed owner satisfaction — some call it the best charcoal cart they found, others call the value poor for the price
  • Not fully waterproof cart storage
  • Heavy (241 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Poor air/damper control — lower vent described as ineffective and there's no proper upper air control, making temperature harder to manage than expected on a 'professional' charcoal grill
  • Side vents on the cart mean stored items aren't protected from water
