How to Make a Charcoal Grill
Building your own outdoor charcoal grill can be a very fun and rewarding experience. Instead of buying an expensive grill, save money and make your own! Enjoy all of your grilled meals and add a custom touch to your backyard.
Take a 50 gallon drum, and cut it in half long ways. Make sure you get a drum that has had no dangerous chemicals in it! Drill holes in the bottom for air, fill with charcoal, put a grill grate on top, and away you go!
Char-Griller Outlaw
The Outlaw offers more cooking area that just about any grill on the market. Over 1,000 sq. in. of total grilling area will let you feed a crowd! Made from heavy guage steel this grill will last for years. The cast iron grates give you an even heat and sears your meat to lock in the flavor. Our adjustable fire grate makes it easy to control the heat, and our easy dump ash pan makes cleaning up a snap. Just think, no more tipping over the grill to clean out the ashes!

Portable Kitchen Charcoal and Grill Smoker
Reproduced from an original 1950's design, this heavy cast aluminum construction of the Portable KitchenŽ cooker reflects heat from all surfaces far better than cookers made from other materials. This reflected heat cooks food more evenly without constant turning or repositioning on the grill. Once the lid is lowered, the food cooks evenly, bathed in smoke for an unforgettable charcoal-fed hickory smoked flavor.
