Cast Iron BBQ Grill

Small Cast Iron BBQ Grill

Weber

What we like: Sleek design

What we don’t like: Temperature settings aren’t clear

Not so good for: If you want a side section for storage

Perfect for: Small gardens

Small enough to carry around comfortably, this BBQ weighs 43.5lbs. The cooking surface area is 280 square inches, more than enough room for a couple of burgers and a few skewers.

Powered up via electricity, it has non-stick porcelain-coated grates. Two heat retention liners will help to create an even grill. Plus, the sleek design and stylish dark gray finish mean it will look good even when not in use. A removable drip tray is included. Best of all, this BBQ is rust-resistant so you won’t have to worry about grit in your sausages.

Compact Cast Iron BBQ Grill

Fire & Flavor

What we like: Comes with extras

What we don’t like: Could get expensive replacing biodegradable pod

Not so good for: Large families

Perfect for: Camping and outdoor activities

Measuring only fifteen inches wide, this BBQ grill weighs less than 10lbs. An excellent option for camping trips, it is collapsible to the size of a standard laptop. This means your back won’t be hurt when carrying it around. It’s just a perk that it also happens to be environmentally friendly by containing a biodegradable charcoal pod.

Ready to use in 10 minutes, the grill is just as easy to extinguish – simply pour water on and dispose of the pod once cool. Not just a grill, this set comes with a carrying case and bamboo chopping board, as well as a grilling tool.

Vintage Cast Iron Barbeque Grill

Oklahoma Joe's

What we like: Easy to control temperature

What we don’t like: Difficult to find appropriate cover

Not so good for: Carrying around all day when outdoors

Perfect for: Smoking or searing food

We love the chic and retro look of this grill. It takes all the best traits of a charcoal grill and makes them accessible and easy to transport. The charcoal tray is height-adjustable, whereas large air dampers make it easy to control the temperature.

The thick cast-iron grates will be perfect for creating deep sears on your burgers or steaks. All-black in color, this BBQ has a cool barrel design and is primarily made of steel with a cast iron grill. It additionally comes with a removable ash catcher, though not a cover.

Silver Iron BBQ Grill

Outsunny

What we like: Affordably priced

What we don’t like: No ash catcher included

Not so good for: If you want something heavy-duty

Perfect for: A cheap yet effective barbecue

Affordably priced at under 50 dollars, this grill is designed to give your food an unbeatable smoky flavor. We love the shiny silver finish, which makes it stand out from traditionally black designs. It is made of stainless steel with a cast iron grate. It is also extremely lightweight at only 8.5lbs. Air vents are included on both sides for temperature control.

As no cover is included, we recommend placing this BBQ under a covered patio to ensure it doesn’t get weather damaged over time. However, the legs are foldable, meaning you could store it in a shed if preferred.

Large Charcoal BBQ with Cast Iron Grill

Royal Gourmet

What we like: Side tables included

What we don’t like: On the pricier side

Not so good for: Small outdoor areas

Perfect for: Feeding large groups

Featuring a more elegant and classic design, this charcoal barbecue comes with either just the grill or with a grill and cover. Although expensively priced, it has a large surface area, ideal for entertaining. The height-adjustable charcoal pan allows you to control the temperature quickly and with ease.

The grill can be moved around due to two casters and two wheels. Plus, a full-size ash pan can be pulled out to make cleaning up at the end of the day nice and easy. If that wasn’t enough, this grill has side tables and a cupboard below for extra storage, making it a great all-round option.
