Ultimate Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill. Produces Less smoke. Combined with its electric fan for air/heat control. Tailgating grill, Black, W 14 x H 7

The media could not be loaded. When I saw the Homping Grill for sale on Amazon, I thought "FINALLY!" I'll tell you exactly why in a second... First, I have to admit that this was our 6th grill purchase... but, in our defense, each grill we own serves a different purpose. We love 'tailgating' at sporting & music events.We have tried 3 different portable grills, but the absolute biggest complaint I had was how long they took to cool down! Why does this matter? Traditional grills can take up to an hour to cool off enough to be able to safely put them away. This means you have to plan for an extra hour between the time you eat and the time you want to enter the event. If it's hot - or cold - outside, this is particularly frustrating. Plus, they make such huge messes... You cannot throw any other portable grill's parts in the dishwasher like you can this guy. (See comments)In comes this bad boy! You can LITERALLY carry this grill while it's cooking. Which means - it's cool enough to put on your plastic folding tabletop, to move if needed, and to put away when you're done. AWESOME! Plus, as you'll see, it only requires 6-8 pieces of charcoal (try doing that with your traditional charcoal grill...). Not only is that cost effective and less to carry, it also means LESS MESS!So, I urge you to watch the video below and check it out for yourself. In the video, my husband and I show you what's included, how it works, and do a demo of us using the Homping Grill. BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE... We give you his "secret" on what you need to make the best sliders. I'm sorry honey! (He was not happy when I did this...)I want to add, they also sell (sometimes you can get a package deal) a "roasting lid" which is fantastic for grilling veggies, or ensuring all the cheese on your burgers is melted. YUM! We paid $199 for this here on Amazon, which, is a decent price considering the uniqueness and portability of this grill... we figured we were spending that anyway with our poorly made 'fold up' grills that we were burning through. So make the investment and just get this one, it'll last.Please, if this review was helpful, take a second and click "HELPFUL" after this review. This let's me know my taking the time to do these reviews is helpful to other people like me considering this product. It's what encourages me to continue to do these. THANKS!

Bought this grill in September 2016. Worked great until about a week ago. Great for cooking steaks, chicken, pork etc. Fits enough on the grill for 1 - 2 people. Maybe 3 if depending on the cut of meat you have. If you have to cook for more than that, then you may want to get the larger grill.The center of the grill obviously sears meat better than the edges because that's where all the coals are and that's where the majority of the heat comes from.Very economical and only uses a fraction of the amount of coals compared to a traditional grill.However like i said, about a week ago i tried to grill some steaks and found that the fan's functionality stopped working. I tried cooking the meat without using the fan, but it just doesn't work. The fan is essential with keeping the coals red hot and the flame's heat dispersed as evenly as possible across the grill.I have contacted Homping to see if i can get it warrantied and will update this review when and IF they do anything about the issue.UPDATE: 03/01/2017Homping has ignored my 3 of my requests. I know they received my request because they assigned it to a specific department. Dept 73. However it's sat there for weeks and not only did they not bother to contact me, but they don't respond to my inquiries either.The grill does not work at all unless the fan works as the grill does not have proper vent holes designed into the body like normal grills do to allow the coals to breath.I would not recommend anyone purchasing this product. You are better off buying a portable weber grill. $200 down the drain.

It was OK - will I use it again? Yes. Will I use it as often as I originally though? Probably not.You cannot use it indoors as originally advertised. It does use few charcoals, but fire does not last long as eluded. Takes a while to heat up & found it difficult to light up charcoals with the lighter gel as directed for use. I end up soaking a cotton ball with fluid and light them up that way.The results were tasty however, I just anticipated more heat.I'd recommend it to someone after they tried mine to see if they like. Price point should be about $50 less in my opinion.
