Firecraft Series Barrel Grill

480-sq-in open-fire barrel charcoal grill with twist-lock, height-adjustable cooking grates.

$360Approx. MSRP

Fun for a beginner who wants to try open-fire cooking and is willing to inspect welds carefully on delivery; skip it if you want a low-maintenance grill you can leave outside uncovered.

Pros

  • Open-fire barrel design is fun for live-fire/Santa Maria-style cooking
  • Modular design lets you add accessories over time
  • Praised for good cooking results once you learn the open-fire technique
  • Easy on the wallet ($360)
  • Built to last (heavy-gauge wire grates with stainless-steel elevation poles)

Watch-outs

  • Weld and joint durability is inconsistent between units
  • Adjustable grate-height mechanism is fiddly to operate
  • Steel grates flash-rust with humidity if left uncovered
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Weld quality on the grate handle has failed for some owners, snapping off during or before assembly
  • Some units arrive with cosmetic damage — dents, scraped or missing paint
  • One owner reported griddle/joints pulling apart after only three uses
  • Grate height-adjustment mechanism criticized as clumsy to use
