Oklahoma Joe's

Barrel Charcoal Grill

496-sq-in compact charcoal barrel grill designed to combine with the Hitch portable grill to form a full offset smoker.

$229Approx. MSRP
Great fortight budgetsreal charcoal flavor

Best for a beginner who specifically wants a simple standalone charcoal barrel grill with the option to expand into smoking later, rather than someone chasing the biggest grill for the money right now.

Pros

  • Height-adjustable charcoal trays let you switch between high-heat searing and low-and-slow cooking
  • Can be expanded toward a full offset smoker using Oklahoma Joe's modular Hitch accessory
  • Porcelain-coated grates and a 2-year parts warranty
  • Easy on the wallet ($229)

Watch-outs

  • Limited independent owner reviews exist since it's a newer, more niche modular product
  • At roughly 488-496 sq in it's smaller than most other Oklahoma Joe's barrel grills in the lineup
  • Needs the separate Hitch accessory (extra cost) to become a full smoker
  • Heavy (161 lb) — pick its spot and leave it
