My first major grill investment was a Bar-B Chef grill. Here’s a picture of mine, right before I sold it in 2010:
It was a terrible smoker, as it leaked like a sieve, but it was a great grill. I especially loved the adjustable charcoal grate. But, as it leaked so much, getting consistent solid temps was impossibility.
I really miss the adjustable charcoal grate feature, so I’m looking for something similar, but can also function as a smoker if need be. Here are the features I need:
· Cooking area: around 30”x 20”
·Adjustable crank-driven height charcoal basket
·Solid temperature control/doesn’t leak a lot
·Front loading door feature to add more fuel to charcoal grates
·Grill is on a cart with wheels for easy transport and moving
·Solid construction
From what I see so far, the Hasty Bake Legacy and MGrills M1 or B2(currently sold out) seem to fit the bill.
I know there are much cheaper grills in the $100-$300 price range with the same features, but I don’t think they will last long based on the reviews I’ve seen about them.
Are there other quality grills with these features and specs that are in the $1500 or less price range?
Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions!
