Our verdict

A compact, lightweight charcoal grill with a design-led chrome finish, well suited to small spaces but limited by its single-burner, single-chamber size.

Overview

Weighing under 10 pounds, the Bodum 11529-16 is a small chrome charcoal grill built around a single-burner chamber, sized at about 15 by 18 by 15 inches for balconies and patios.

At under 10 pounds and 15 inches across, this sits closer to a tabletop or balcony grill than a backyard workhorse, and the chrome finish points to Bodum's design-forward bistro style rather than a heavy-duty cooker. It uses a single charcoal chamber, so it suits one dish at a time rather than multi-zone cooking.

  • Charcoal fuel, single burner
  • Chrome finish, freestanding
  • 9.9 lb, approx 15 x 18 x 15 in

Who it's for

Good for apartment balconies, small patios or picnics where a lightweight, portable charcoal grill matters more than cooking capacity. Not suited to anyone grilling for a crowd or wanting multiple heat zones.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Lightweight at 9.9 lb, easy to move
  • Compact freestanding design for small spaces
Cons
  • Single burner limits cooking capacity
  • No cooking area figure listed

Performance notes

A single charcoal chamber under a chrome shell heats up the way any small charcoal grill does, quick to light but limited in how much food fits at once. At 9.9 pounds it is light enough to carry to a balcony, patio corner or picnic table and back.
