Barrel Grill

The sleek stainless steel Barrel Grill is a sophisticated barbecue grill tailored for the modern lifestyle. To be precise, the barrel grill is nothing more than a 55-gallon steel barrel sliced in half lengthwise. Hinges are attached so the top half forms the lid and the bottom half forms the charcoal chamber. The design features a number of enhancements to outdoor grilling. Vents are cut into the top and bottom for airflow control. A chimney is normally attached to the lid. The adjustable coal bucket can be positioned to optimize the heat output or fitted with an aluminum tray to collect the juices.

Charcoal grids and cooking grids are installed in the bottom half of the grill, and legs are attached. Like kettle grills, barrel grills work well for grilling as well as true barbequing. For barbequing, lit charcoal is piled at one end of the barrel and food to be cooked is placed at the other. With the lid closed, heat can then be controlled with vents. When not in use, the grilling accessories can be placed inside the grill and, with the flat protective lid; the grill is converted into a stylish extra patio table. It can also be used as a fireplace after grilling.
