Frequently Asked Questions About Our Kettle Grills

How are kettle grills different from other charcoal grills?

Kettle grills stand out with their rounded shape and deep bowl design, which helps circulate heat efficiently for even cooking. Many also include adjustable vents and removable ash catchers, features that aren't always standard on other charcoal grills, such as barrel or cart styles.

Do kettle grills require assembly?

Yes, most kettle grills do require some assembly out of the box. We provide models with straightforward setups and clear instructions, so you can get grilling without much hassle.
