Should you buy it?
The Char-Griller Portable Charcoal Grill has two distinct uses. On its own, it provides 250 square inches of cast-iron cooking space for camping, tailgating and smaller outdoor meals. Alternatively, it can attach to compatible Char-Griller barrel grills to convert them into Texas-style offset smokers. Dual adjustable dampers provide airflow control in either configuration, while the EasyDump ash pan simplifies clean-up. Sturdy handles make transport straightforward. Its small cooking area limits standalone capacity, but the ability to serve as both a portable grill and an offset-smoker firebox makes it unusually versatile.
