Rambler Portable Tabletop Charcoal Grill

218-sq-in portable tabletop charcoal grill designed for camping and tailgating.

$230Approx. MSRP

Decent for a beginner who wants a cheap, portable charcoal grill for occasional trips, but store it covered and don't expect precise temperature control.

Pros

  • Compact and genuinely portable for tailgating or camping
  • Adjustable charcoal basket supports both low-and-slow and hot-and-fast cooking
  • Good value entry point for a portable charcoal grill
  • Easy on the wallet ($230)

Watch-outs

  • Temperature control takes more finesse than a full-size grill
  • Tray/grate durability complaints from multiple owners
  • Replacement parts in the original style can be hard to find

  • Charcoal tray has been reported to warp with use
  • Grates have rusted after the first use for some owners even with normal seasoning
