I would like to tell you about an awesome ALUMINUM grill!

I found out recently that PK (Portable Kitchen) charcoal grill/smokers are available again! They are cast aluminum smoker/grills, that were originally made in the 60's and 70's. The business has been resurrected in Little Rock, AR! There are several types available... take your pick. A great addition for enjoying your aluminum trailers!


(I learned about PK grills from my awesome father-in-law..... he has an original from the 60's/70's.)

Thanks for the heads up and link. These are all charcoal-fired, I guess? [no propane-fired]

Looks like a good long-term investment.

Here is the smallest [$349.99]:

Thanks again,

No doubt it should last forever, but add the accessories and it is a very expensive charcoal grill. It purports to distribute heat more evenly than other grills, but the surrounding aluminum has nothing to do with radiant or convective heat from a fire under the food. I used to have a small Weber at a much lower cost, but now I pretty much use just a small stainless propane grill for its convenience.

I like the idea of a "buy it once" grill, as opposed to something made of stamped steel. It is rather expensive, but compared to what a person can spend on other quality products, I would not hesitate. And, I LOVE the flavor of cooking over charcoal.



I have two propane grills on my back porch. Both need to be hauled off to the dump. After a few short seasons of regular use, they are ready for burners, grates, racks, etc...... those would cost more than I would care to spend on them, then would need to do it again down the road.



Anyway, just throwing it out there as an option.
