Mini Charcoal Grills reviews – My opinion
There are many small charcoal grills on the market and I could have made this list a lot longer. I decided to have a look at the 3 most popular types of these small grills.
Rectangle, cast iron and round mini charcoal grills
They are most of the time easy to use. However, the cheaper models will probably no last that long as you hope.
That is the reason that I suggest buying from some of the major brands so you can always purchase spare parts if you need them.
