Fyrkat Picnic Charcoal Grill

Dimentions: 17" H x 14.5" dia.
Weight: 8 pounds

Pros:
Weber’s Smokey Joe is a classic for a reason: It’s simply designed yet hardy and easy to use. This is the grill Goldilocks would choose. It’s not too big but not too small, not 
too heavy but not too light. Plus, at $35, 
the price is just right.

Cons
The bowl and lid are designed so you can control the temperature, but the small handholds quickly become too hot to 
handle (especially the lower of the two). Don’t take this grill apart to clean unless you have ample time to reassemble—–
and a knack for not losing small pieces.

Dimentions: 11" H x 10.8" dia.
Weight: 3 pounds

Pros
A superfluous feature is not to be found on this barbecue. It’s super sleek and super light, weighing in at just three pounds. This grill is easy to move and so is its cooking grate. The handle lets you turn the surface and your patties over hot spots, then angles up to act as an edge for flipping.

Cons
Get ready for slow cooking. The barbecuing surface sits six inches above the charcoal grate, and there’s no lid to trap the heat. The Bucket Grill’s legs (not shown) prop its base just inches above the ground. 
The necessary investment in a comfy camper chair might negate its low price.

Dimentions: 16" H x 24" L x 16" W
Weight: 37 pounds

Pros
Char-Broil’s treasure chest of a grill opens to reveal impressive booty: two 120-square-inch cast-iron cooking grates. This is designed for serious barbecuing. Its low profile makes it small enough to yield the backyard spotlight but big enough to feed all your friends and family.

Cons
Weighing in at 37 pounds (and measuring two feet in length), it’s portable only with assistance. This grill’s parts were not made for moving. The ash door and air vents were finicky to open, and the hook to hold up the lid was nearly impossible to keep in position.

Dimentions: 6.3" H x 12" dia.
Weight: 9.9 pounds

Pros
White walls and wood accents—what more could a modernist desire? The only grill in our roundup designed for tabletop use, it features a built-in heat blocker that keeps its base cool and your table from getting singed (just watch your fingers at the top of its ceramic exterior).

Cons
The tight space between the charcoal and cooking grates means you must carefully spread out no more than a single layer of briquettes to avoid food-ash contact. At $360, we expected top-notch materials, but after just one grilling and wash-up, the stainless steel bowl took on a coppery hue
