Editor's Note
The Americana MECO Corporation 21" Portable Charcoal/Electric Grill offers great versatility for outdoor enthusiasts, functioning using both electric and charcoal grilling. Its compact size with a 176 sq. inch cooking surface is ideal for patios or small decks. Users appreciate its portability and dual cooking modes, though some mention difficulties with assembly and occasional dents from shipping. The electric mode can be slower for thicker cuts, so charcoal is preferable for a richer flavor and faster cooking. A practical tip: use the charcoal option whenever possible for better heat and taste, and handle assembly carefully to avoid warping.
