The Navigator’s 2.27 kg pellet hopper is of ample size for a slow-and-low smoke or a few average grilling sessions. The main 36.8cm x 33.6cm grate should be just fine for about four people though weber q there’s a smaller half-sized grate above it in case another two guests turn up. This allows the Navigator to sear steaks over an open flame – something that most pellet grills are incapable of.
The flame is easy to control and keeps a consistent temperature throughout cooking, even when grilling with the flame turned low. The Char-Broil American Gourmet is a barrel-style grill with a hinged lid. While we liked the idea of its pull-out drawer to add coals, the door stuck badly and was frustrating to use. And because the drawer’s grates ran vertically, it was difficult to rake the coals from side to side to create an indirect heat pattern. The grill itself was easy to clean and sturdy as we used it, but it was difficult to see inside the grill and the rounded lid design funneled the smoke straight into your face.

You can boil water on any type of weber charcoal grill grill as long as you have a pot or kettle with no wooden or plastic parts.

If you can’t shut the lid, it will take significantly longer, but the water will eventually reach its boiling point.
In fact most campsites in the UK and France forbid the use of charcoal and probably pellets, too. Now place it on a non flammable surface and stuff some wood or charcoal under it and, voila, instant campfire barbecue. This is a great grill for burgers, sausages and other fatty foods because most of the fats drip away and that means healthier eating. It also does steaks pretty well though it’s best to halt grilling until the heating element is up to its highest temperature.

The KettlePizza add-on kit ($250) is fun, but way more expensive than the grill itself; there’s a cheaper basic version, but it’s currently out of stock.
