Lets Talk Charcoal Grill

[rus_bro]

Ok boys. my beloved Copper Kettle is about to cook its last steak soon. I havent been taking care of her like i should and need a full refurb inside (which i will do either way.. but.....).

I am thinking of having a charcoal grill built. probably 20 x 30 cooking surface and square. Really not sure what i am looking for at the moment, kinda picturing something the same size as my weber genesis gasser. A good everyday charcoal grill that can hold more than a Kettle.

I have dedicated smokers so dont need the dual purpose anything.

what are you boys bbqing chicken, pork and steaks on?

Thoughts?

I use a Weber 26 probably 4-5 times a week. On special occasions I break out the Shirley fire pit with the optional cooking grate. To this day I've never done better rib eyes than ones cooked over the fire pit.

Seems a bit drastic for my need to grill burgers and chicken

SO leads me to another thought iv been having. If designed right, its an open firepit which i REALLY like..

OOOOOOO the issues

You already got a patio model. All you need now is the fire pit. :-D

Would there be anything more heartwarming than filling the patio with Shirley cookers!!

thats a great grill you have there

Have you considered a Santa Maria style grill? That would give you a box type shape, plus you can cook all kinds of things on them, not just burgers and chicken. The adjustable cooking grate is a huge plus!

If you want something with a lid, there are some cheap, but not long lasting grills that have adjustable charcoal grates that run around $200, OR, you can go for something really nice like an MGrill B2:

I want a mini chudbox pro. But I need to refrain from buying anymore cookers for a while lol

Use my weber 22" and for big cook outs, use the cook chamber of my smoker.

Pitts and Spitts and Lonestar Grilz have some really nice dedicated charcoal grills. Worth checking out. Both made in Texas. Yoder has their flatops that are nice also.

This! I have a M1 that also fits the bill but if strictly grilling, I’d lean to Chester’s info above. Or a Chud box

The b2 looks pretty solid too, if only grilling.

I’ve been watching his channel, a chud box may make it on my list of “to build” it’s basically a rectangle UDS... I think I like it...

Chef Tom at All Things BBQ cooked on a Yoder Flat-top charcoal grill in today's vid.... looked like a Kettle on steroids to me

Weber 26 and lump charcoal does the small cooks around here.The Shirley feeds the masses.It has been mothballed for a while.No big gatherings here for several more months.I don’t care what Governor TaterTot says.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why there isn’t a 26” Performer. I’m in the same boat looking for a cooker with more real estate than my 22” kettle, the wife actually wants some vegetables with all the delicious meat I guess.

Assassin would be another option that has a lid. Following the fire pit idea, look at Breeo.co

I use a 26 and a side table.If I need to step up one notch,I break out the Ranch Kettle.Bought my Rancher several years ago.Stopped by a pool and patio place that was going out of business and bought the floor model for 3 $100 bills cash.
