We measured charcoal in a chimney by grams, and in a ratio for that grill's specific surface area. To test high heat, we seared two steaks on each grill. If you're looking for the fanciest kettle grill out there, this one might just be it. The searing test was average but satisfactory.Īpart from that, this grill just feels really well-built, and I appreciated that it has three heights for your cooking grate, which lets you control how much direct heat your food gets while cooking and grilling. In our chicken test it held a high temperature for longer than any other grill in the lineup. It prepared a tender and juicy rack in just four hours, 30 minutes. Napoleon delivered excellent cooking results in our ribs test. The lid houses a temperature gauge and a handy hinge that makes it easy to add charcoal. The resulting chicken was tasty, and the grill features really well-made cast-iron grates across its 365 square inches of cooking area.
CHAR GRILLER SUPER PRO 29 IN BARREL CHARCOAL GRILL PORTABLE
During our chicken cooking tests, however, this portable grill held its temperature better than any other charcoal grill we've tested. Our results, however, were almost as good as with the kettle-style Weber, so if you're interested in a cart-style charcoal BBQ, this is your best bet.Īt $319, the Napoleon portable charcoal grill is expensive.
They're bulkier, the assembly is more involved and you'll likely need more fuel to keep the larger space at a high temperature. And this updated model, when we used the charcoal snake method, demonstrated temperature control almost as good as the Weber.Ĭart-style grills aren't for everyone. Ribs were tender, juicy and done in just under 5 hours. In our medium, indirect-heat chicken tests, the Nexgrill delivered flavorful, juicy meat as a close second to the Weber. That way you'll get a seared crust as quickly as possible. You can also raise the Nexgrill's adjustable charcoal tray basket to its highest position. We recommend the reverse searing method for thicker cuts. The Nexgrill definitely gets hot enough to create a nice sear, but you do have to work a little harder than you do with the Weber to avoid overcooking your meat. It's also a lot compared with the Weber's 363-square-inch cooking area.
In fact, at 572 square inches, this updated larger grill has even more cooking space than the previous version, which offered 390 square inches. That design gives you a handy side tray and more cooking surface room. Updated for 2021, the $119 Nexgrill Cart-Style Charcoal Grill is a compelling alternative to the Weber, especially if you prefer a cart-style backyard cooker.
