Thermos 21 1/2 in. Premium charcoal Grill Review

Thermos 21 1/2 in. Premium charcoal Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this grill mostly because of its lower price and small size. When I used it, however, the charcoals burned out quickly and never became hot enough to cook anything. Although I've used charcoal grills for years, I tried several solutions thinking that the problems could be with me. These solutions all ended with the same result: charcoals lit up fine, but burned out quickly and produced very little heat.

I finally determined that the issue was that the grill had no bottom grate to hold the briquettes and allow oxygen to circulate under them. Charcoal had to be stacked on top of the grill's solid base. Although the grill has four small ventilation holes in the front, this is not enough. With no bottom grate, oxygen could not properly circulate among the briquettes and they died out.

To fix this I had to create my own bottom grate, and the grill worked much better. So basically, this is an alright grill if you're willing to put in some extra time and supplies to make it usable. But I don't think you should have had to do that.

Earthenware Portable Hibachi Grill Review

Earthenware Portable Hibachi Grill

Do not buy this!!!!The pretty lettering is just a piece of paper pasted on.The pot is just dried clay, not even sure if it was fired.
The paper washed off and so did the white paint on the clay.It is about four inches square. Too small for anything, really. I tried to return it with a complaint and was told that it was never advertized as "fired".I do not know but the word "earthenware" means an item that was fired, to me.Was severly disappointed.

Marsh Allen 717HH-1 Golding Charcoal Grill Review

This is not a heavy duty item.However, it does have a convenient design to fold up relatively flat to stick in a car trunk or back of an SUV which makes it great for tailgatilng at concerts or sporting events. I also like the height of the grill, you don't have to get down on your knees cooking on a hibachi on the ground, or bring some other table for your grill. I repeat, excellant design for tailgating, which is what I bought it for.

Meco Swinger Charcoal Grill, Black Review

Meco Swinger Charcoal Grill, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Thought it might be helpful to break down this review into the good, the indifferent, and the bad.I'm pretty sure it would apply to other Meco series 4100 series grills as well.

Good:The adjustable grate heights in combination with the generous vent options and tight fitting lid produce the ability to control your cooking better than in any charcoal grill I've ever had or used. In that regard it almost rivals a Weber gas grill I once had.Add the charcoal taste and I would as soon eat food cooked in it as that cooked in the Weber.For example, last night I cooked 3 lamb cutlets.Started with the grid in the hot position and all vents open to sear in juices and give the meat an attractive, crusty appearance.Then, moved grid to medium position to cook further.Did the same for the other side.When finished, closed the vents and cover.At least, with my grill, this really does put out the charcoals rather quickly.After they cool, I put them in a covered can and add them to new coals next time..For quick cooking meals like steaks, this reduces total charcoal use by maybe as much as half.Although not an exact science, the ability to tilt the grill does help me cook steaks rare and medium in the same time.I sear all steaks on hot for about 90 seconds and then, if the coals are good and hot,usually tilt the grill to medium on one end and cool on the other end for 3 minutes or so.After doing the other side the same way, one is about medium rare and the other about medium.I've cooked some chicken successfully using the indirect method.However, the space left for cooking this way is certainly not abundant.My overall rating as to cooking quality is 5 stars plus.

Indifferent:Quality of most materials in the grill are probably just above average.The grate, grid, and tilting mechanism (the guts of the system) are probably slightly better than that.The folding table is much worse.My overall rating for quality of materials in this price range is 4 stars.

Bad:Being pretty old now, I've probably assembled say 8 or more charcoal and gas grills.At a good 2+ hours this one took easily twice as long as any of the others.I ascribe that to the number of things to be assembled and, even more so, to the poor instructions.Since assembly is fairly complicated, Meco could help us a lot if they would pre assemble at least the top and bowl parts and ship in a slightly larger box. Failing that there certainly must be a way to more clearly picture and define each step.Lastly, some things are just hard.For example, just screwing the wood screws into the table assembly requires prodigious effort.Suggest you keep an electric drill handy for this step.My overall rating of ease of assembly is 1 star.That said, this gripe will undoubtedly fade even more into distant memory as more fun to cook and tasty meals come off the grill.

Overall.Once you get this grill assembled I believe you will really like it.

Weber 7456 Premium Cover, Fits 22.5-Inch One-Touch Charcoal Grills Review

Weber 7456 Premium Cover, Fits 22.5 inch One-Touch Charcoal Grills
Average Reviews:

I will admit that this cover is not 100% perfect.It does not last forever.I finally replaced my aging 9+ year old Weber cover with a new one recently.Just as the previous one, it fit like a glove and the new one was nice and soft and pliable, something the old cover lost gradually over the years of being out in the 100 degree summers and freezing winters.

All that I can say to the folks having trouble fitting theirs - either you bought the wrong cover for the Weber you own, or you need to get someone with a couple of brain cells to show you how it works.I can easily fit my cover by myself in 30 seconds with absolutely no problems.To the reviewer stating he doesn't know which side goes where - the cover has a foot-tall Weber logo on the one side - how long does it take you to figure out which side of the logo goes to which side of your Weber?

I fit mine by slipping the "table" end over the table and then slipping the dome end over the dome, and then straighten out thebottom.It takes me a couple of seconds, even with the old stiff cover.

I tend to buy Weber accessories - good quality and lasts (almost) forever.

Bodum Fyrkat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill Review

Bodum Fyrkat 13.4 inch Portable Charcoal Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a handy little grill for those who don't have the space for a larger grill, or who want a portable grill you can take along just about anywhere.It's small enough to take along and use wherever, but large enough to cook a fair amount at a time.This is more for the family going on a picnic or cooking a couple burgers and hot dogs quickly in the back yard or on the deck, not for hosting a large party.(It is big enough to cook a couple steaks too)

I have the orange model, which my little girl really likes because she likes orange.However, it does come in green, yellow, black, blue and off-white.Personally, I'd probably go with the black model if it was just me, but it is nice that they have the colors for those that want the variety.Most important thing is that it cooks, and that it does.

There is a small tray and grate that fits in the bottom to place your charcoal on top of, and then there is the larger grill that fits on top.The unit is not very deep, so you won't be placing a lot of charcoal in it.Again, this is for cooking small meals, and it works just fine for that.The legs are sturdy enough.I placed mine on the concrete beside our back door and it was fine.The directions to state that the unit is not intended to be used on top of tables.

There is a handle on top of the lid that is rubber covered so it does not get hot when on the grill.I had no issues with taking the cover off to turn our meat or retrieve it when it was done.There are two air vents right under the handle, and you close those by turning the handle.There are also three rubber clips on the side.These are for transporting the unit when not in use.These clips clamp the lid to the rest of the unit and you can then pick up the entire grill by the convenient handle on top and take the grill with you wherever you go.You don't want to do this unless it is cool of course.

If you are looking for a small charcoal grill due to lack of space, or need a smaller spare for taking with you, the Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a good little unit that does the trick.It is a bit more expensive than some of the models you can find, but it is nicer in a couple ways than some of the cheaper ones I've seen too.I like cooking with it, my little girl likes the color, and I'm sure it will be a nice, handy, little grill for many lunches, dinners, and picnics.
