Charcoal Grills(6+)






Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a charcoal grill?
For the best flavor, we recommend using a charcoal chimney starter. If using lighter fluid, apply it to a mound of Kingsford briquettes, light, and wait about 15 minutes until the coals are covered in gray ash before spreading them out.
What is the benefit of a Santa Maria style grill?
Models like the Backyard Discovery Premium Santa Maria feature a hand-cranked height adjustment. This allows you to raise or lower the food over the fire to control the cooking temperature instantly, which is perfect for wood-fire cooking.
Can I use wood logs in these grills?
Heavy-duty steel models, particularly the Backyard Discovery Heritage and Santa Maria units, are designed to handle both charcoal and wood logs for an authentic fire-pit flavor.
How do I maintain my charcoal grill to prevent rust?
Always keep your grill covered when not in use. Most of our grills, including the Member's Mark 35" Barrel, include a custom-fit cover. Additionally, ensure you empty the ash catcher regularly, as damp ash can become acidic and corrode the steel.
Is a 22.5" kettle grill big enough for a family?
Yes. A 22.5" Kettle Grill provides enough surface area to cook approximately 13 burgers at once, making it an ideal choice for a standard family meal or a small gathering.
