Picked up this little Cutie Sunday from Lowes. A whopping $25 bucks! :chef:

I think it could fit inside my other grills. lol

I broke it in with some extra thick pork chops with an Applejack glaze. Cooked over lump charchoal and a wee bit of Hickory. :pig: YUM!

That looks like a nice portable grill. You didn't use to see them with a lid that attached and a raised shelf.
 
I bought it so I don't have to heat up the big smoker to cook 2 pork chops. It's pretty nice, the chops just about fit on it. lol They had another one a tad smaller and a few different propane models. It should get quite a bit of use.

Cooks darn good, too.
 
I like the fact that it has a latching lid...helps keep nosey people out while you're trying to cook.
 
That is a good idea Jinks... I have a small Weber, but even then it is too big at times to grill one steak. (Usually one steak can feed the both of us.) But I have adjusted to using only half the grill, so it works out. But I do like the compact nature of your little cutie! May have to check into one!
 
I'm going shopping at Lowe's today! :cool: I USED to have a little one that opened up and you could grill on both sides or just one - son borrowed it - we all know the rest of THAT story! :mad:
 
Very cool, Jeeks. Can you use it indoors? (Looks like two little holes for maybe a plug-in?) Reminds me a bit of the old hibachis - 'cept with a lid. How do you light it up? Had a little portabe grille I took everywhere - beach, park, camping etc. Have fun with it. :chef:

No, it's outdoor only. It's basically a small outdoor charcoal grill.

I had one of those $100 Char-broil gas grills that I should never have parted with. The large grills and smokers are nice, but not for everyday use. i.e. Hurry Up After Work Meals. I love the larger ones for cooking on weekends or if I have guests. This is a good size to cook for 2 on. It heats up in no time and saves on fuel (charcoal).

I use lump charchoal that gets lit in a chimney first. The small box on the bottom is an ash trap.

I want to try to smoke something on it this weekend. :pig: :LOL:
 
I cant wait to get a new grilll this summer the one i have is a POS..... One of the main reasons I bought a house was to have a grill (had lived in apartments for years)... I got a cheapo last year because I was super broke... this year I am only semi-broke so maybe I will upgade I will have to chain it down in my hood though things have a tendency to walk right out of your yard.... yesterday was 70 degrees and my neigbors have started talk of organizing a block party... YAY summer.

I don't have 20 posts yet, so I can't directly link to a site.

Anyone remember Son of Hibachi? They are still going strong.

My reason for posting? Son of Hibachi still sells a 1 D battery operated
rotisserie. For about $24, it comes with the spit rod, and 2 clamp on
rottisserie holders. I still have mine after 25 years!

The only downside is this: When rottiserrie cooking chicken, you really need a
portable B-B-Q that has propane. Why? Because portable B-B-Q's without gas need
charcoal adding to cook it for the required amount of time.

Cornish game hens on that battery operated rottiserie are so so delicious!

It's a hassle to add charcoal, but can be done.

Anyways, a great little battery operated rottiserie for portables! Look it up.

EDIT: so now finally...I can add a link to my posts.

Rotisserie for Son of Hibachi


See how you can clamp on the battery rottiserie holder onto portable units?
Such a cool little device.

I've used the little thing a couple times now and totally love it! I like how the charchoal is only inches away from the food, you get a great sear/char. We made some kabobs the other night grilled tableside. -LOL

EDIT: This thing gets pretty hot so I put the coals off to one side in case I need to slow down the cooking on something.
 
I just can't get enough of this little grill.

Here's some marinated chops and sauteed onions and peppers with a splash of sherry. I threw in a few Hickory chunks to get some smoke action. The little skillet is 8". I heated the skillet up over the coals, then added the peppers, onion and garlic in that order. When it was half way done, I moved it off to the side where the residual heat from the pan kept it cooking. Then started the chops. Just before the chops were done, I moved the pan to the upper rack to heat up a little more.

My only complaint so far is the materials used in the grills construction. I'd like to find a better quality small charchoal grill. Espescially one with better cooking grates.
 
Those are some good looking pork chops.
I've been craving some for a while now. Nice chops are hard to come by around here. I gotta go see a butcher soon.
