Editorial Review

A perfect reproduction of a 1950s design, this retro charcoal grill would please Elvis, as well as grill and smoke meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables in the down-home manner he appreciated. It's heavy and sturdy, and rolls around a deck, patio, or lawn on semipneumatic rubber wheels. Made of cast aluminum for maximum heat radiation, the grill cooks foods uniformly, whether they're grilled quickly or slow-cooked and smoked under the hinged lid. Four adjustable vents and dampers provide precise temperature control. Aluminum side and bottom trays offer lots of room for holding food, utensils, and condiments. The grill assembles easily with screws and nuts (included) and measures 35 inches long, 16 1/2 inches wide, and 35 inches high. Because the cooking section detaches from the lightweight aluminum carriage, the entire unit can be quickly disassembled for a camping trip. Read more

Incredible Cooker
I bought this unit over three months ago and have used it exclusively since.I am not kidding, I have cooked on nothing else but the PK - it is that good.The menu has included whole chickens, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, beef roasts, pork roasts, planked salmon, steaks, chops, brats, dogs, ribs and burgers.Everything has been perfect.Nothing else cooks like it.The genius of its design is that when it is closed (as is intended) the PK cannot support a flame.While the internal temperature remains hot enough to sear anything, meat will not burn from flare-ups.And, while the unit is closed, smoke - produced from the meat itself, wood chips or chunks, and/or your choice of charcoal - bathes your dish with wonderful aroma that you and your guests will truly enjoy.
Best charcoal grill ever!
Well worth the money. I love this grill, however, there are times when a gas grill is nice. Since the shelf under the grill is removable, Iput it on the top of the grill surface itself (with the lid open) and then put my Weber Baby Q Grill on the shelf. I got an adaptor for a large LP tank and wallah....I now have a great charcoal grill that easily "converts" into a great little gas grill using no more of precious deck/porch space. BTW...the Baby Q is an awesome grill. I love it, too. See jpg
More fun to cook!
When I was young my Dad had one of these grills and taught me how to grill on it.It was one of the originals, and it lasted until the grills rotted through and the wheels rotted out.He still used it for a number of years, limping along with make-shift equipment.But then I found this cooker and bought one.Then I bought another for my weekend place.Then I bought one for Dad with replacement grills, thinking he could store them for the inevitable replacement job...instead he resurected the original cooker.Now he has one at his home and one at his weekend place.I rarely talk to him without he mentioning the gift and how much it meant to him!I have even convinced my girlfriend and all of my Cajun friends that this is the ONLY way to grill.Buy one.It can last more than 30 years, with abuse and grill replacement.If you take care of one...I have no idea how long one could last....!!!

Excellent fit
I have one of the original Portable Kitchens made in the 1950's.I purchased it at a garage sale in 1980 and have used it regularly since then.This is the second set of grid and gate that I have purchased.It fits perfectly into my old Portable Kitchen.Both the grid and grate are high quality units and have extended the life of this approximately 50 year old Portable Kitchen yet another few years.This time I also purchased a cover for the Portable Kitchen which will make this set last even longer than before. ...
