Okay, buying your perfect grill can be a daunting task! There are so many to choose from, which one should you buy?

I have selected a few charcoal grills that come highly recommended from grillers worldwide. Most of these grills I have used myself. I have checked BBQ forums and spoken to experts.

Check out our list of best charcoal grills, to find your perfect BBQ!

Ask yourself these questions:

• Does it do what I mainly need it for? (is it practical?)

• Is it sturdy and long lasting?

• Is it going to look great on my patio?

• What great features does it have?

• Is it easy to use and maintain?

Nobody can truly say which one is the best. We all have different needs! All our tastes and needs are different! But... the grill needs to have the basics!

The answer:

• Large enough to cook for the whole family.

• The one that is manufactured well, meaning everything fits together.

• Good quality steel or materials with polished clean finishes.

• That can withstand many years of cooking with hot coals.

• User friendly, simple to use.

• Multipurpose for grilling, frying, roasting and smoking.

• The fewest moving parts. (you don’t want to be losing anything)

• Portable or leave at home.

• Rust free

I've selected a list of the best charcoal grills that match the description of the above features and we’ve listed their benefits below.
