What we like: Easy to control temperature

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.
