Reproduced from an original 1950's design, this heavy-duty cast aluminum charcoal grill radiates heat so food cooks more evenly-without constant turning. With the lid closed, food is bathed in smoke for an unforgettable flavor. Thick cast aluminum construction will never rust. Unique venting system for perfect temperature control. Smokes as well as it grills. Detaches from carriage for easy travel. Hinged cooking grid for easy refueling.
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. --Fred Brack

Flexible, convenient, and built to last:
It's pretty simple - I love my PK, and if you like to grill, you'll probably feel the same. The build quality of this grill is outstanding, and it's super-quick to assemble. The design makes it extremely easy to cook directly over the coals or indirectly. This is a big edge over the standard kettle-style grills, where you have to do a lot of messing around to cook over indirect heat. It's also extremely efficient in its use of charcoal; my sense is that it uses less than half as much as my old... more info
The Best Grill There Is.:
My dad bought one of these when I was a child. I think it was the largest model that they make, he still has it. I got married and a lady that I mowed for had a smaller model of my dad's grill. I mowed her yards four times for it. I have had it for about 13 years now. I have replaced the grill and grate and they fit well. I can't recommend this grill enough, it is timeless in it's design. While the other grills have rusted and been thrown away this one will still be cooking. If you appreciate cooking with... more info
excelent grill:
I purchased this cast aluminum grill 32 years ago, a bit smaller than my new one but the best grill I have ever had. The new portable kitchen a bit larger but high end quality. I love it.
Best grill for direct heat.:
This is the best grill I have ever used for cooking steaks over direct heat. I also have a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker (indirect heat) I use for ribs and BBQ. My PK is 6 years old and still going strong.
