Nothing beats the ease of shutdown and cleanup like propane.

It's really true ...if you are going for speed , propane. Charcoal takes 20 minutes to get ready with a chimney starter.. but nothing beats the tastes of cooking with charcoal.

I am in the market for a portable grill. Can someone convince me to do charcoal rather than propane?

Is this better than the Weber Go Anywhere Charcoal Grill?

This is a smoker too so yes imo it's better as it has more functionality

I'm definitely curious as to how well this works as a tailgate grill. I got in on the $100 ZGrills portable pellet grill and I love it. But I know a few people that missed it and might have an interest.

Unfortunately, and as an FYI for those looking for the smoking option... This has 2 limitations as a smoker that I can see. 1: the height. I don't know a pork shoulder won't be hitting the top, and 2: the lowest temps aren't good if you're wanting to smoke up some jerky.

I hope to find it has enough room for a pork shoulder, but seems a little hard to get details. If anyone knows, please pass on the knowledge.

Nothing beats the combined shutdown, cleanup, and flavor of pellet smokers. Best of all worlds.

I agreed. Judging by the dimensions picture, the lid is about 3.5" in height, which is too tiny for pork shoulder.

I have a hard time thinking of a use case where I'd be wanting to be smoking jerky with something like this - it's too small to make the quantity of jerky i'd want to make at once and it's also meant for cooking/smoking like at a picnic/camping/tailgate, which aren't really places I think about smoking jerky.

I completely understand. BUT... for someone looking to get into it and see if it's worth it to get a full size smoker, pellet grill or gravity grill, it could serve as a launchpad and then be reserved as a tailgater going forward. For the price, it's a great "exploratory" grill. Not the target audience, but one that I like to help out when I can.
