Imountek Portable Notebook Charcoal Grill, Foldable Outdoor Barbecue Grill for Camping Garden, Black

This iMounTEK Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill was so convenient to carry with us when we went down to the river. We usually have to make a homemade grill with rocks and a rack that we bring. But this worked out really good. It's metal but lightweight enough (0.497 lbs) to carry all the way down there and back. It cooked our food just as good as a full sized grill. Folded up it lays flat and has handles to carry it with. Then you just unfold it into a triangular position and flip the side flaps out. Put in the small grate to put the charcoal on. Once the charcoal is good and hot just put on the cook surface grate and your ready to go. It holds enough charcoal to stay hot for a few hours. We had kids coming and going but it stayed hot and gave me plenty of time to cook hot dogs, then decided to put on some hamburgers, and then still had heat to put on some chops. The grill has vent holes on both sides to help fuel the fire. It didn't take too long to cool down when we were done. Then I just dumped out the charcoal ashes and folded it back up. When the grill was still hot we needed to move it so we slid a long stick through the handles and picked it up with the stick. That worked really slick. It didn't come with any kind of case so I put it into a garbage bag tell we got it home to completely clean it up. You can store the charcoal grate inside the grill but the cook surface grate is too big to fit inside. There isn't a way to store them together so I used a large twist tie through the handles and hooked it onto the cooking grate to hold them together. The inside of the grill withstood the flames and heat really well. The paint on the outside did peel off in one spot from some flames that shot out through the handle, but to us that isn't a big deal. Folded up the grill is 18 long by 17.5 wide by 1 inch thick. Unfolded it's 17 long by 11 wide by 14.5 inches high. The charcoal grate is 5 by 16.5 inches. And the chrome plated cooking surface grate is 17 long by 10 inches wide. Plenty of room for a large package of hot dogs and a few burgers.

This grill has me to excited for the summer! It is going to make trips to the breach, park and even camping such a breeze! We had a small grill before that was such a pain to put together, clean and carry. This grill is so compact and sleek its going to make for endless hours of summer fun! We plan on going to the beach this weekend and instead of having boring turkey sandwiches we will bring this bad boy and have some hot and ready burgers and hotdogs! When you pull it out of the box it is folded in a sleek and compact shape that you can easily carry anywhere with the built in handle. Its very lightweight and easy to use. No assembly required you can use it straight out of the box. The cooking surface can easily removed to and fits inside when folded up for storage. I would say this is the perfect portable summer grill. Getting this was the perfect way to kick off summer. I definitely recommend!
