Exploring Charcoal Grill Models

There are many charcoal BBQ grills to choose from, each catering to different grilling needs. Here’s a breakdown of the distinct types to help you choose.

Kettle Grills

Distinct in their spherical design, kettle charcoal grills are often smaller than their ceramic or barrel counterparts. Their design ensures heat retention even with minimal fuel. Look out for their signature round lids, durable metal grates and multiple vents, ensuring safe cooking.

Ceramic Grills

Instantly recognizable by their egg-shaped structure, ceramic grills are champions in heat retention, promising consistent cooking temperatures. Big Green Egg ceramic grills are popular options.  

Barrel Grills

True to their name, these spacious grills mirror a barrel's shape. Ideal for large gatherings, they offer an expansive cooking area. Though they double as efficient smokers, they are hungry for fuel.

Digital Grills

Combining traditional charcoal grilling with modern technology, digital charcoal grills feature control panels and temperature monitoring systems for precise cooking—giving you the smoky taste that charcoal gives and the convenience of high-tech controls.

With advancements in grill features, like digital control panels, integrated thermometers, effortless cleaning systems and more, your grilling experience is set up to be hassle-free.

Portable Small Charcoal Grills

With a portable charcoal grill, you're set for any location. Be it a campsite, tailgate or beach outing, these easily collapsible, folding and hibachi-style tabletop grills are your best companions. Plus, many of these grills offer effortless cleaning, quick ignition and simple lighting mechanisms, ensuring the focus remains on the grilling and not on the aftermath.

Safe Ignition when Grilling with Charcoal

Prioritizing safety is paramount. Grilling enthusiasts should be well-versed in safe grill ignition methods, be it through an electric lighter, lighter fluid or a chimney starter. Ace offers insights into this with the addition of gas-charcoal combo grills. These grills blend the authenticity of charcoal with the convenience of gas ignition.

Essential Charcoal BBQ Grill Accessories

As you finalize your grill choice, consider your grilling tools and accessories. Look for cleaning brushes, long-handled tongs, forks and spatulas. Protective mitts, grates, thermometers and charcoal starters are some other essentials you might want to think about. Given that it's such an investment, you can extend the lifespan of your grill with a grill cover.
