→ This is a phenomenal
small grill, a mini version
of the classic kettle. A
bottom vent and an alu-
minum top damper allow
airflow control. Despite
the small size, there’s
enough room to manipu-
late the coals for precise
cooking: Mound charcoal
on one side for two-zone
direct and indirect heat-
ing, and rotate the lid to
place the top damper so
it draws smoke past the
food. Setup and cooldown
are simple and fast.
