Portable Charcoal Grill 400×300×280 mm

A compact charcoal grill for outdoor cooking

This portable charcoal grill provides a dedicated cooking station for picnics, camping trips, garden gatherings, and other outdoor settings where open-fire cooking is permitted. Its rectangular steel body combines a charcoal chamber with a horizontal cooking grate. The grate can be used for portioned cuts of meat, fish, vegetables, mushrooms, and other foods suitable for cooking over charcoal. A handle positioned above the body makes it easier to carry the grill between storage and the chosen cooking area once every part has cooled completely.

Dimensions and construction

The grill measures 400 mm in length and 300 mm in width. Its stated height is 280 mm without the handle. These measurements are useful when planning space in a vehicle, shed, utility cupboard, or other storage area. Because the handle projects above the body, additional vertical clearance is required. The source specification lists the handle separately at 68 mm, although the precise overall height should be checked with the handle in its actual position.

• Fuel type: the grill is intended for charcoal, allowing it to operate without an electrical connection.
• Body: the rectangular layout creates a straightforward cooking area where food can be arranged in rows with room for turning.
• Assembly: the model is described as knock-down construction, which is useful when preparing it for a trip or arranging a suitable storage space.
• Cooking surface: a horizontal grate is positioned inside the body above the charcoal area.
• Air intake: slots in the side panels admit air to the burning zone. They should remain unobstructed while the grill is operating.
• Lid: a lid is specified for this model. Its correct position and attachment should be checked before lighting the charcoal.

Preparing the grill for cooking

Choose a level, non-combustible outdoor surface away from dry grass, low branches, and objects that may be damaged by heat. Assemble the body and confirm that its panels and cooking grate are seated securely before adding fuel. Place charcoal in the lower chamber and wait until open flames have subsided and a steady cooking heat has formed. Leaving small gaps between portions makes them easier to turn and lets you move food between hotter and cooler areas of the grate as cooking progresses.

The external body dimensions should not be treated as the exact dimensions of the cooking grate. Neither the grate size nor a stated serving capacity is available for this model. Buyers choosing a grill for a particular group should compare the actual usable grate area with the quantity of food they normally prepare. Compatibility with skewers is also not confirmed, so this version is best selected primarily for cooking food directly on its grate.

Cleaning, storage, and handling

Allow the charcoal and every steel part to cool completely after use. Remove the ash, clean food residue from the grate, and wipe the accessible surfaces before putting the grill away. The steel body and grate should be dry for storage, and abrupt cooling of hot metal with water should be avoided. Depending on the available space, the grill may be stored assembled or taken apart in accordance with its knock-down construction.

The upper handle is intended for handling the cooled product; it does not make carrying a live charcoal fire safe. Operate the grill outdoors only, keep the hot cooking area attended, and prepare a safe method for fully extinguishing the remaining charcoal. These simple precautions help make the compact format practical without overlooking the heat generated inside its relatively small body.
