A kettle grill with a lid does something an open barbecue cannot: with the lid down and the adjustable ventilation set, it works as an oven — so a whole chicken, ribs or a joint cooks through with smoke rather than only searing on the surface. That is the entire reason kettle grills became the standard shape worldwide. Vents control the airflow and therefore the temperature, which is how charcoal cooking is actually managed. 1600cm² of cooking surface handles a family's worth of nyama choma, burgers or sausages, and at 4.5kg on wheels, this trolley design moves easily around a garden or patio. Steel, in black.

Buying guide
Use the vents to control heat: more air means a hotter fire, and closing them down brings the temperature under control — that is the whole technique of charcoal cooking, and it is why the lid and vents matter more than the grill size. Set the coals to one side for indirect cooking with the lid down, which is how you cook a whole chicken without burning the outside. Never use a charcoal grill indoors or in an enclosed space, since carbon monoxide is lethal. Let ash cool completely before disposal, and clean the grate while it is still warm.
How it compares
Against an open jiko or a flat grill, a lidded kettle can roast and smoke as well as sear, which triples what you can cook. Against a gas barbecue, charcoal gives the flavour but takes longer to reach temperature. Against a built-in grill, this rolls away and stores.
