Overview
A locking lid closes over cast iron grates on this kamado-style charcoal body, holding heat and smoke in for grilling or smoking. The compact unit travels easily to a park or campsite.
Portability and a kamado-style body are the reason to look, giving charcoal flavor from a small footprint. The two dimension lists in the listing differ slightly, and the manual carries the warranty details.
Who it's for
A traveler or small household who wants kamado-style charcoal cooking in a carry size. A host who regularly cooks for many, or wants a stated warranty term, should look at a larger cooker.
Pros and cons
- Portable kamado-style body
- Cast iron grates
- Grill and smoker in one
- Powder coated finish
- Small cooking area
- Two dimension lists differ
- Warranty terms only in the manual
Performance notes
A closed lid cuts airflow and holds heat, which lets charcoal burn steadily for low smoking and reaches higher heat when the vents open. Cast iron grates store heat for searing and leave grill marks. A small firebox burns fast, so long smokes need attention to the fuel.
