Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact at 17.5 pounds
- Stainless steel build
- 4.6 average rating from 58 buyers
- 128 sq in cooking area limits batch size
- Charcoal requires hands-on fire management
Performance notes
Charcoal heat gives direct control over the fire, and the narrow 128-square-inch grate concentrates heat well for skewers and small items, though it limits how much can cook at once compared to a full-size grill.
