Overview

Loading charcoal onto adjustable fire grates, this barrel grill cooks over cast iron grates and tips its ash out through an EasyDump pan. Front and side shelves with utensil hooks, a bottom storage rack and a built-in thermometer round out the body.

A large cooking area and shelves on two sides make this a workable station for family cookouts and low-and-slow smoking. The limit is the setup: it arrives needing assembly, the painted steel body needs care outdoors, and the offset smoker attachment and the cover are sold separately.

Who it's for

A family cooking burgers, chicken and steaks over charcoal, or someone moving into smoking who wants a barrel body with room to work. Anyone who wants fast gas start-up, or a grill that arrives built, should choose another type.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large cooking area for a family
  • Adjustable fire grates set heat height
  • EasyDump pan simplifies ash removal
  • Front and side shelves with hooks
Cons
  • One year warranty on defective parts
  • Side fire box and cover sold separately
  • Heavy and wide for a small patio

Performance notes

Charcoal heat is controlled by fire grate height and airflow, and the barrel shape holds smoke close to the food. The adjustable fire grates let you raise or lower the coals, which changes how hard the sear is. For true offset smoking, the description points to a side fire box attachment that is sold separately.
