The tray provided in the unit is perfect for controlling direct heat and there is a top rack too that is good for keeping the cooked food warm.

Weber Original Kettle is one of the best Weber Charcoal Grills that can grill the vegetables and meat perfectly. I’m going right off the bat here and letting you know this is an expensive bit of kit at £400.00. What you pay for though is a cracking bit of equipment.

The good thing is that it is very affordable and is easy to use too. It is very lightweight and portable, and you can move it from one location to the other easily. This Weber charcoal grill comes under the Kettle series category and is very popular among grilling geeks.

The Weber Original Kettle is made up of porcelain enamelled bowl and lid and it features no-rust aluminium vents too. There are glass reinforced nylon handles and chrome-plated steel hinged cooking grill. The original kettle is equipped with 2 Char-Basket charcoal fuel holders and Rapidfire Charcoal ‘V’ grate.

It has a bezel lid thermometer, crack proof all weather wheels, and an aluminium drip pan too. The good thing is that it has a 10 year limited warranty and a Kettle cookbook is provided too.

The VonHaus Charcoal BBQ with 2 Side Table Racks is stylish and beautiful as it has a gloss finish and it has a very unique design and I have to say when compared to the cosmo is my second pick but most definitely the best if you want BIG. You can’t help but feel they modelled this on the old Landmann Dorado or similar and did a much better job for less money with a similar design to the Cosmo when you compare the grill and ash tray hatches as well as foldable side tables – which by the way are a great addition and really do save on a bbq side table.

The unit features a height adjustable charcoal grate and it is also fitted with heavy duty, cast iron grills. There is a built-in warming rack too that allows the user to cater up to 10 people, it can also double up as a rib rack. There is a slide out ash catcher that allows easy cleaning.

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.

The VonHaus charcoal barbecue has a glossy back, and an enamelled hood and fire bowl and heavy duty cast iron enamelled grills. The cooking area is 57 cm X 41 cm and the warming rack is 54.5 cm X 22 cm which is large enough. You really can get your way through a serious bit of meat – I don’t think I’m overstating ten people can eat at once – we are gannets and manage just fine when compared to my Uniflame that has a similar size grill.

The lid is double walled, and the ash catcher is easily removable, I’d recommend having a pair of barbecue gloves though. There are 2 foldable side shelves and a bottom wire shelf. This unit also comes with a warranty of 5 years.

Taurus 660 Charcoal Barbecue from Landmann is a large and stylish charcoal barbecue. This is unit is perfect for almost any spaces both patios and uneven ground are not a problem. The grill can cater up to 6 people and has enough cooking space so that you can serve them all at once – when you compare this unit to the other selections available it has to represent the best value for money as you’ve got a smoker and charcoal bbq all in one. it’s like buying the Tepro barrel bbq and adding a smoker – and being Landmann the quality is right up there, you’ll get more than your usual one hard year from this unit – I know from personal testing.

There is an integrated lid thermometer and the cooking grill and warming rack is enamelled. The removable ash collector is very handy as it allows you to clean the barbecue in just a few minutes only and that too without any hassle.

The charcoal barbecue is also provided with removable side shelves that allow you to store things such as barbecue accessories and tools in the space. One good feature of this charcoal barbecue is that it has an adjustable height which is very useful if there are different people cooking on it.

You won’t like assembly – theres a million bits to put together but then that pretty much covers all the barrel bbq’s. After all my testing I’ve decided charcial bbq’s are by far the most labour intensive though reflected in the lower pricing.

Once assembled you’re going to love it – the look is superb for the money, unfortunately the heat will soon put pay to the beauty of it’s newness but still you’ll have a useable and functional bbq charcoal grill for many years to come.

You’d be hard pressed to find a charcoal barbecue as strong and sturdy as this one for around a hundred and twenty pounds. Constructed of heavy, powder coated steel, you don’t have to fear giving this little hardy number the odd knock or two, but that solidity also means a little more weight at 22 kilograms, which is higher than average for a charcoal BBQ of this size.

The extra weight is actually a good thing here though as it keeps the barbecue steady, and if you want to move it around, there’s no need to carry it. Just tilt it back onto the wheels and it becomes easy to push around. The wheels aren’t the best in the world, but they’re fine for the price range.

Down by the wheels is a large, grated metal shelf that is ideal for storing plates, utensils, sauces, and anything else a master and commander of the grill is likely to need.
You’ll also find a second wooden shelf located on the side of the main grill which comes in handy for playing up your chargrilled delights. This side shelf is a good size and you’ll easily be able to fit a couple of full-sized plates on there.

On the opposite side of the BBQ there’s a removable drawer that makes filling and replacing the charcoal, and cleaning out the ash, a very simple and easy affair. This drawer has adjustable dampers on the side that only need a light twist to modify the amount of air flowing into the coal pit, and they actually work really well, so no more blaming the BBQ for overcooking or burning the meat!

With 250 square inches of cast iron grilling area to cook on, this fairly compact charcoal barbecue actually delivers you a surprising amount of space for you to ‘get your cook on’, and you won’t have trouble finding space for all the burgers, sausages, and kebabs you need to keep friends and family happy.

The cast iron grates, like heavy steel casing, ensure that this is a product that will last you for a while, especially if you give it a coating of heat proof paint somewhere along the lines if you start to see signs of the black powder coating wearing.

The Char-griller 1515 patio pro charcoal barbecue is a more compact model than some of its siblings. But standing 111.8 cm tall, 78.7cm wide, and 53.3cm deep, it is not exactly tiny or undersized and is a perfect size for people with smaller families, or smaller gardens where a larger model would just take up too much space and look unsightly.

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.

This is a well-made charcoal BBQ, as you would expect from Char-griller, and it is a very good choice for customers who are a little short on space in their gardens but still want a grill that can handle a decent amount of food at once.

It won’t break the bank, and should last you a while too.

Planning a big barbecue party for a lot of people? Well, you’re going to need a really big grill to keep up with the demand from all those hungry guests, and we have just the thing here with the XXL Toronto grill barbecue from Tepro.

This bad boy is so big that even the warming rack measures 67cm x 24cm! When you couple that with the 71.5cm wide enamelled cooking rack, you’ve got a heck of a lot of cooking space to play with.

But it’s not just size that makes this charcoal barbecue a great buy. The Tepro XXL Toronto gives you the ability to raise or lower the coals through six different height settings, and it’s all done with a simple lever found on the front.

Adjusting the height of the coals really has an effect on the cooking temperature, as does closing the specially vented lid, and playing around with these two in conjunction with the flue will result in some perfectly juicy and tender steaks, chicken, and ribs, all with that beautiful, charcoal fed, smoky flavour.

The lid features a built in thermometer for you to keep an eye on the internal temperature and I found it to be quite accurate. I think this is due to the lid doing a great job of sealing the heat inside without much leakage.

There is plenty of space for sauces, plates, etc. on the two wooden side shelves and the extra-large bottom shelf, plus hooks for your utensils and even a bottle opener which I thought was a nice little touch.

At nearly 40 kilograms, she’s not the lightest charcoal BBQ in the world, but not the heaviest I’ve ever come across, and the wheels on one side do a decent enough job of moving such a large unit around once it has been tipped onto them, so no complaints there.

Where some might complain, including myself, is that this does take a fair old bit of time to assemble. Even with friend helping me it took well over two hours, and when it was fully set up, I spent a bit more time going around and retightening all the crews to get rid of any unwanted play or movement.

After that, this super-sized charcoal barbecue stood nice and firm on the patio. There was still a little bit of movement, but after yet another round of screw checking and tightening, I got it how I wanted it.

Before you decide to buy this monster, you need to make sure you’ve got the space for it in your garden without it being a pain to move around. This model stands 137cm high, 137cm wide, and 152cm deep and looks even bigger than it sounds.

Priced at around two hundred and fifty pounds, you are getting a lot of barbecue for your money with this Tepro model, and I doubt you would find one of equal size for anywhere near this price. Sure, it’s a bit of a pain to put together, but the extra features like the height adjustable coals, and flue for smoking your meat, make it all worth it in the end.
