I want to start cooking more with charcoal so I'm in the market for a well made charcoal grill. However, I need one that has a rectangular (instead of round) cooking area. We bbq a lot of kabobs and I think it's just easier with a rectangular grill grate. Thanks in advance! JP | ||

https://www.pkgrills.com/the-o...oker-classic-silver/ That’s a great grill. I have a Kamado Joe, but if I wanted one with your specs it would be a PK. Posted from my iPhone. | |||

I love my Weber kettle grill. Have a little Smokey Joe when we do dove breast kabobs or other food which needs hot and fast direct heat. Life moves pretty fast.

There is only one correct choice for charcoal grills: WEBER The Classic Kettle grill is a great choice; I’d recommend the 22” or if you wanted to spend a little more I’d recommend a Weber Performer which is the 22” kettle built into a wheeled cart and also has a nifty propane lighter assist for starting your charcoal. I have both of those along with a Weber Q320 gas grill and a Weber Go-Anywhere portable charcoal grill…yeah I love my Webers!  | |||

The PK looks pretty good... but I’d go with the Kamado Joe or another Kamado Type grill. Really? Kabobs are going to keep you away? I bet your kabobs would be better on a Kamado!

I have a small Weber kettle grill that's about 35 years old, but only gets "overflow" use, since I added a 22" Weber about 20 years ago. The only thing I've done to them is replace the grates. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Like PASig, I have a Weber Performer and I cook all kinds of kabobs fairly regularly with zero issues. I think you are finding an issue where none exists. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Same here. I do them on metal skewers with no issues. Did some last night in cast iron on the Weber kettle. Do all kettle for grilling and smoking. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

I think issue with square charcoal grills is trying to get consistent heat across a square surface. The coals at the corners are going to cool faster than the coals in the middle, as well as air distro being uneven underneath. | |||

For kamodo grills, Primo would be an excellent choice for the OP. It's oval instead of round and is perfect for people who like to do lots of kebobs or ribs. The other benefit is they're a little more efficient for 2-zone cooking than the traditional round kamodo. They're one of the 3 long-term kamodo companies (BGE, Kamodo Joe, Primo) and have a limited lifetime ceramic warranty because their ceramics are top-tier. Their oval kamodos come in XL, L, and Junior Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||
