Overview
Picnic Time makes this X-Grill from electro-plated steel with a chrome tri-fold cooking grate. It opens in seconds, burns charcoal, and folds flat to travel in a polyester canvas tote with a shoulder strap.
The reason to buy is portability: it folds almost flat, carries on a shoulder and sets up quickly at a tailgate or campsite. The limitation is scale, since a grill this slim feeds a few people at a time and the listing gives no clear grate area.
Who it's for
Tailgaters, picnickers and campers who bring their own charcoal and want a grill that disappears into a bag will use it often. Backyard cooks who need a lid, a large grate or temperature control should look at a full-size grill.
Pros and cons
- Folds flat for travel
- Carrying tote with shoulder strap
- Sets up in seconds
- Chrome tri-fold cooking grate
- Small cooking area for groups
- Grate size figure in listing is unclear
- No lid or temperature control
- Charcoal and fuel not included
Performance notes
Charcoal burns in the steel body beneath a tri-fold chrome grate, so heat depends on how much charcoal you load and how you space it. The folding design trades cooking area for portability, and the grate has no cover to hold heat. Tri-fold hinges let the grill collapse flat for the tote.
