Of course, you could start a campfire and grill over that, but it\u2019s hard to get consistent heat &#8211; and not burn yourself at the same time. That\u2019s where the Weber Q1200 comes into action. Its stainless steel burner produces 8,500 BTU of power across 189 square inches of grill space, yet the entire barbecue folds up to less than three feet across. Powered by a disposable LP cylinder, the grill can either sit on the ground or cradle inside a sturdy, portable cart with lock-in clips (sold separately). It&#8217;s also available in six different colors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Built-in thermometer<\/li>\n<li>Removable catch pan<\/li>\n<li>LP canisters last up to five hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Runs hotter than temperature control indicates<\/li>\n<li>Best for two to four people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Realcook Charcoal BBQ Smoker<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Realcook-Charcoal-BBQ-Smoker-Grill\/dp\/B07YJCNVC9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Realcook-Charcoal-BBQ-Smoker-Grill\/dp\/B07YJCNVC9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31gVaEy291L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Realcook-Charcoal-BBQ-Smoker-Grill\/dp\/B07YJCNVC9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Real Chefs Love Realcook<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">With the versatility of both a barbecue grill and a smoker, Realcook provides the options that outdoor chefs want.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best BBQ Smoker<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Realcook-Charcoal-BBQ-Smoker-Grill\/dp\/B07YJCNVC9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Just like grilling, smoking is an art form of its own. At some point, most outdoor chefs want the versatility to use both methods, and sometimes both at the same time; after all, there&#8217;s nothing like searing a brisket, then letting it smoke for several hours. Realcook is perfect for this magic combination. With its multi-layered design and large capacity, Realcook has enough vertical space to hang turkeys, chickens and long slabs of beef. With its unique two-door access, you can check the status of food or charcoal without allowing all the heat to escape. Or you can simply fill the bottom portion with charcoal and use it as a standard charcoal grill. As they say, versatility is the spice of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bottom damper and ash collector<\/li>\n<li>Heat resistant handles<\/li>\n<li>Convenient locking system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temperature control difficult with single vent<\/li>\n<li>Lots of parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Giantex BBQ Charcoal Grill<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Giantex-Charcoal-Portable-Barbecue-Thermometer\/dp\/B07RDBN3M4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Giantex-Charcoal-Portable-Barbecue-Thermometer\/dp\/B07RDBN3M4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41lICh3WnCL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Giantex-Charcoal-Portable-Barbecue-Thermometer\/dp\/B07RDBN3M4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Old Skool Grilling At Its Finest<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">Because there\u2019s nothing like grilling on charcoal, Giantex has created the charcoal barbecue we all need.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Charcoal Grill<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Giantex-Charcoal-Portable-Barbecue-Thermometer\/dp\/B07RDBN3M4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>There\u2019s just no substitute for charcoal.

Because Giantex understands this, they&#8217;ve created the ultimate grill for charcoal lovers. With two side air vents and a charcoal tray that can be raised or lowered, you\u2019re sure to create the perfect cooking temperature. A foldable side shelf gives you space for sauces and spices, while four easy hooks hold your important grilling tools.

Is this true?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes and no. Simply put, charred meats in general are not very good for you. When grilling a steak, for example, and the fat drips off the meat and hits the charcoal, the resulting smoke contains a chemical called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The charred skin of the meat becomes packed with another chemical called heterocyclic amines (HCA). Both of these have been linked in separate studies to increased levels of colorectal cancer. But don\u2019t panic. The studies did not show how much of these chemicals must be ingested to become carcinogenic. So, as with all things, a moderate amount of charcoal-grilled meat is probably fine. Probably. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it bad for the environment to use a charcoal grill?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, yes. According to a 2009 study by Swiss researcher Eric Johnson, your typical charcoal grilling session puts up to 11 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air. That\u2019s comparable to driving your car around for 22 miles. In comparison, a gas grill emits 5.6 pounds of carbon dioxide, or the same as driving 8 miles. If you\u2019re trying to be conscious of your carbon footprint, this is something to take into consideration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I keep seeing this \u201cBTU\u201d term when reading about the power of a particular barbecue grill. What is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BTU is the acronym for British Thermal Unit. A BTU is a unit of heat, specifically (as defined by the experts) as \u201cthe amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree fahrenheit\u201d. With barbecue grills, higher BTUs mean the burner is capable of heating the grills faster and potentially hotter, creating the highly-coveted sear, which locks in juices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master Cook Three-Burner Gas Grill When it\u2019s time to throw a grass-fed, hormone-free, center-cut rib eye on the grill, you want to know for certain that it\u2019s going to cook perfectly, evenly, and reliably.
