Portable Kitchen bbq grills date back to 1953 when two guys from Birmingham, Alabama and Tyler, Texas – Jasper Corley and Lester Watson – designed an outdoor cooker made from cast aluminum of which many outdoor cooking aficionados today continue to wholeheartedly endorse.

The Portable Kitchen bbq cooker thrived as a worldwide-marketed product for more than 10 years. But with the gaining popularity of gas-fueled grills and cheaper grills made from flimsy metals, the two-man company retired the Portable Kitchen bbq grill.

When a married couple, Paul and Sarah James, ran across an original 1953 Portable Kitchen bbq cooker at a garage sale, they decided to reintroduce this obviously better-made grill to the public. Since then, the Portable Kitchen bbq grill has regained its popularity and once again shines as the best charcoal grill on the market today.

What makes the Portable Kitchen bbq cooker so popular? For one thing, the cast aluminum from which it’s constructed reflects heat evenly – no continual turning of the meat or moving the meat from one side of the grill to the other.

Other Portable Kitchen bbq grill features include no-rust construction, a detachable grill for easy cleaning and portability, moveable vents in the cover, and dampers located beneath the fire for better temperature control of the fire.

Not only does the Portable Kitchen bbq grill do a bang-up job for quick meals like hamburgers, hot dogs, or steaks, but makes slow-cooking meat without danger of flare-ups simple and easy.

The Portable Kitchen bbq features two trays – one at the side and one beneath the grill – to conveniently hold food platters or utensils. And the hinged grid makes adding more charcoal a breeze – without the necessity of moving the food off the grill.

You can find the Portable Kitchen bbq cooker at brick-and-mortar stores all over the U.S., or you can easily order one online. Ranging in price from around $249 to $279, it does pay to shop around, however. And don’t forget to calculate shipping and handling charges if you do decide to take the online ordering route.

Once you’ve grilled on this outdoor cooking classic, you’ll never be swayed to go back to the so-called “new and improved” lesser grills of today. And with its solid, cast aluminum construction, your Portable Kitchen bbq grill may very well last longer than you do!
