Charcoal Grill Reviews Expert Ratings & Reviews From Our Staff
-
Between delectably smoky flavor and the rugged satisfaction of stoking coals, charcoal grilling earns its place in the pit master pantheon. But there are so many altars of dripping meats and crackling fires — where do you even begin? We get that question a lot (well, without the metaphor), so we tracked down some of our experts and asked them to put dozens of charcoal grills through rigorous real-life testing to determine their quality, performance, and features. Countless afternoons spent flipping burgers and turning steak? Let us tell you, we really had to twist their arm on that one. The results are in, and they are conclusive! Now, if you’re still narrowing down your scope, we suggest you take a peek at our top-rated charcoal grills to hone that appetite. Don’t worry, we’ll be right here when you get back.
