Be a Master Chef of Your Own Backyard With a Charcoal Grill From Lowe’s
Whether you’re an avid tailgater in search of a charcoal grill for game days or looking to outfit your backyard with one for weekend cookouts, Lowe’s carries the option that suits your needs.
Size and Material
What size grill you want depends on how you plan to use it. Small charcoal grills are great for when you want to experience the essence of classic charcoal flavor in hamburgers, chicken, steaks and more but outdoor space is limited. If you find yourself cooking for crowds, choose a larger model that provides the surface area for big meals and can even accommodate smoking foods when the menu calls for cooking low and slow. For camping adventures or picnics at the park, portable charcoal grills are easy to pack up and take with you, allowing you to enjoy delicious grilled treats anywhere.
Charcoal grills are notably metal in design, but ceramic construction is also available. Ceramic options, like a kamado grill, are better at retaining heat, locking in smoke and creating moisture — the perfect recipe for thoroughly cooked, full-flavored and juicy foods. Barrel style grills like Royal Gourmet or Master Forge offer large cooking surfaces, while kettle grills are an ideal choice for smaller spaces.
There are 3 different sizes of grills. Small (up to 449-sq in), medium (450 to 549-sq in) and large (550-sq in and greater). The right size for you depends on your cooking needs and available outdoor space.
How to Grill With a Charcoal Grill
To give food the flavor of being grilled on charcoal, grills use briquets, wood or a combination of the two to achieve the mouthwatering, smoky taste we all know and love. But mastering the cook can be a bit of a challenge: charcoal grilling requires manual lighting, so you’ll need to allow time for the briquets to get hot. When the coals are heated enough to start cooking, they’ll be gray with ash. Use a thermometer — either a built-in or an individual device set on the grates — to monitor temperature and make sure the grill is hot enough to cook the type of food you’re preparing. Some models are designed with air vents and dampers to help regulate temperatures, so you can maintain the perfect heat level.
