Charcoal Grills

What to focus on when buying a charcoal grill

Design and material

A grill should have a solid and stable construction; otherwise it could tip or even fall and cause a serious accident. Charcoal grills are made of sheet metal, cast iron, or enamel.

• Cast iron - retain heat better, stable, the downside is their greater weight.
• Sheet metal - lighter and cheaper than cast iron grills, but also less stable and durable.
• Enamel - more expensive than cast iron or sheet metal. Last a long time and do not rust.

Useful features

• Lid - can be used for smoking food or extinguishing fire.
• Smoker - allows you to smoke cheese and meat.
• Integrated thermometer - allows you to monitor current grilling temperature.
• Shelves - for placing various tools and accessories.
• Retractable ashtray - captures charred ash and simplifies cleaning.

Safety

• Heat-resistant handles – for safe use when grilling.
• Wheels - easy transport and handling.

Charcoal grills can be divided into

• Classic grills - offer plenty of space to prepare meals for a larger group of people. Often equipped with wheels. Some offer two heating zones and a furnace.
• Multifunction grills - suitable for grilling, smoking, roasting, slow cooking, or even maintaining stable temperature. Integrate multiple devices in one. This type allows you to prepare grilled delicacies you wouldn’t be able to cook on a regular grill.
