CosmoGrill Outdoor XL Smoker Barbecue Charcoal Portable BBQ Grill Garden

Product Information

I’m not the most skilled engineer, nor am I completely useless, and this charcoal barbecue took me about 45 minutes or so to assemble, going at a steady pace with the odd cup of tea break. There weren’t any misaligned holes, and the fittings that came with the product are just fine.

Charcoal BBQ are available in three different styles and that are kettle charcoal, ceramic grills, and barrel grills. Following are each of these types discussed in detail: Kettle Grills Premium Dual Fuel Charcoal and Gas Combi BBQ: The best BBQ if you can’t decide between gas or charcoal The charcoal barbecue is very versatile as it allows you to cook directly and indirectly both. Direct cooking can be done when the charcoal tray is raised, and indirect cooking can be done when the tray is lowered down. Key specs – Fuel type: Charcoal; Cooking area: 46cm across; Dimensions (WDH): 60 x 60 x 70cm (Egg only); Weight: 104kg (including shelves) A small, portable barbecue will generally make dinner for two to four people, depending on appetites. A medium-sized kettle-style barbecue should be fine to serve six to eight people. Large oil-drum or half-barrel barbecues are great for parties, but they use a lot of charcoal (or other fuel).

What are People Saying…?

There’s nothing better on a warm day than a BBQ with family and friends but, the problem comes when you have to rush from the kitchen to the garden with plates, tools, and of course more food to put on the BBQ. The resin body has an appealing wood-like texture and is all weather-resistant that preventing it from rusting, peeling, and denting. Now simply lift in your ceramic pot and the very well built grate that the charcoal sits on. And that’s it you have fully assembled your egg: Lift in your ceramic pot carefully and steel grate

That said, a high price doesn’t always translate to a guarantee of quality and there are some affordable options on our list that will see you through many summers to come. Like me, you know the best way to enjoy a barbecue is charcoal(with a decent beer or a glass of wine). It doesn’t matter if it’s a bbq food smoker or portable charcoal bbq, as long as it’s charcoal or smoker wood chips, the flavours are elevated beyond any gas alternative. And what with the rise of gazebos and pergolas in combination with outdoor heaters or a simple patio heater, we can now take advantage of a bbq at almost any time in most weather conditions. After moaning about a couple of niggles I have to tell you this is unbelievable and by far the best charcoal bbq I have ever used in this price range. I honestly think it is as good as the Kamado Joe Classic and probably better in terms of price pound for pound. I always use a bbq starter for my charcoal:When only gas will do, John Lewis’ two-burner BBQ is a solid choice that’ll see you through many a summer. An integrated lid thermometer ensures that your food is always the perfect temperature whether you’re cooking burgers, steaks, fish or veggie kebabs. Thanks to its extra-large cooking area, you’ll be able to cook for up to four people at once, perfect for those family grill sessions. The main body of the Unity XL is constructed from plastic resin for which Keter is enormously famous. The worktop however is made from stainless steel. Optionally you want to brew your own beer too so that you can complete the experience of a barbecue and beer, all from the garden. Two-tier design has a handy shelf for storage, a bottle holder for those bottles of wine, and a four-hook utensil holder. The charcoal grill is equipped with lots of amazing and handy features such as the Electronic Touch-n-Go gas ignition system and the built-in lid thermometer.

This BBQ trolley is easy to clean and also weatherproof, although as with all BBQ side tables and trolleys, it should ideally be stored under cover when not in use.

Then there are big open grills, which can be bought in practically any size and give you the ability to cook and keep warm huge amounts of food. For the price, you’ll struggle to get anything else as big and simple to use as this. It might not produce chef-worthy results but it will barbeque your bangers and chargrill your kebabs. If you’re looking for something a little more complex and multifunctional though, there are plenty of other options on this list to tantalise your tastebuds.
