Few outdoor accessories are more important than the grill you choose for summertime cookouts. It was already time to retire your old grill when that rust hole appeared and a family of mice moved in three years ago, so don’t put it off any longer.
If you’ve already weighed the benefits of an electric grill but you haven’t been able to shake the siren’s call of the classic charcoal grill, you’re in the right place. Consider this my argument for why charcoal can be a great choice, and how to choose a good grill.

This is my number one concern when grilling (or when cooking, really), and the charcoal grill delivers. If you want that flame-kissed flavor, then the question isn’t if you should buy a charcoal grill, it’s which charcoal grill.
Portable. You’re probably not taking a propane tank or an electric plugin grill to the park or to the beach. Charcoal grills can come in large sizes, or as tiny foldable units. Throw a bag of charcoal in the back seat and you can grill up some burgers anywhere you are legally allowed.
Safety first
If you’re looking for tips on charcoal grilling, read about how to keep it hot, and these tips for starting out. As always, use your charcoal grill safely, and never burn charcoal indoors (including in a tent). Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide (CO) and doing it in an enclosed space can lead to CO poisoning. Keep it in the open air—it’s more fun to cook out there anyway.
Finally, give your grill some space. Even if you don’t live in NYC, I'm referencing the city's guidelines, because it doesn’t get much more crammed full of people and buildings than here. NYC.gov recommends a clearance of 10 feet or more when using charcoal grills near buildings and structures, and it doesn't hurt to keep a fire extinguisher handy. Read here for more tips on grilling safety.
This wee tabletop Weber grill gives you a 14-inch cooking surface, which is small enough to carry but big enough to fit five average-sized burgers all at once. This is an option for the outdoorsy chef on the go that envisions many tailgating, camping, or park grilling sessions in their future. Although the art of charcoal grilling is the same whether small or large, this Weber’s petite footprint makes it approachable if you’re a beginner just starting out. Retailing at $79.99 for a reliable brand, it's a solid option.

The Weber Original Kettle is a classic for a reason
Weber has been one of the more recognizable names in charcoal grills since the 1960s, perhaps because, although simple, its standard design works so well. This original kettle reflects the same silhouette as the first Webers, with some helpful improvements like easy-lift grill grates to move the charcoal underneath and a removable ash catcher. This grill is great as a middle of the road option—it’s more lightweight than the kamado grill and has wheels, so it’s semi-portable. Plus the price range is far more affordable while still accounting for higher quality materials.
Whether you start out with a small, portable, tabletop charcoal grill just to test it out, or you invest in a heavy-duty ceramic kamado grill, I have a feeling once you have your first successful grill session, you'll be hooked.
