Ceramic Charcoal BBQ Kamado Griller - Portable Tabletop The Cadet Series Smoker

I don't need one of the giant Kamado style grills. The most I ever need to cook for is four people and this compact grill easily satisfies my needs. Using lump charcoal and little fire starters achieves a high temperature to allow a great sear on beef and chicken. Temperature control using the lower vent slide is pretty easy. The built-in temp gage allows accurate temp monitoring. The ceramic is thick and sturdy and holds heat so well. Charcoal burns efficiently and cooking does not require the use of a lot of charcoal. Assembly was straight forward and didn't take very long at all. It is heavy. I was able to lift it without assistance but it is probably advisable to get help to place it on an elevated surface. Overall I'm very happy with is purchase.

An excellent small kamado cooker/smoker. Well constructed, aesthetically pleasing and most importantly heats up well and holds temp well considering its size. Simple and quick assembly with included instructions. Initial burn in with lump charcoal was quick and allowed for cooking shortly thereafter. Made a dry aged bone in NY Strip and the results were perfect, including a great sear/crust as the cooking grate is not very high above the coals. This will be a problem for low/slow cooks but I believe there is a small heat deflecting grate available from another company that will fit the 13” opening. As a long time owner and frequent user of a large BGE, I can attest to the quality of the London Sunshine mini grill. If you’re in need of a small cooker for 1-2 people, this is nearly perfect at the price. Enjoy!

It’s a bit of a learning curve if you are used to a steel kettle but once I figured it out it worked great! I bought it mainly to smoke with and I was not disappointed! Just make sure you use chunk charcoal, not briquettes, and start your fire in the fire box, not a chimney. It was simple to assemble but heavy enough I had to have my guy carry it outside for me! It’s a nice size for cooking for a couple people, and it’s very well-built. I smoked a pork keg on it and it came out with a nice bark and a lot of smoke. Very pleased!!

Best grill I have ever had

The grill seems well made but the grate is a sloppy fit almost 1 inch under sized. It seems cheap compared to the the rest of the grill. For the money I expected more.

I am a former big green egg owner. I can tell you without a doubt this product is as good as the egg and 1/3 the price. Quick shipping, easy to assemble, easy to light, uses little charcoal, easy to light, holds temp and cooks perfect for two people. Only issue is lid does not close tight but took care of that with bungee cord! Highly recommend this product!

Well constructed, sturdy, beautiful glaze on the outside. Works very well after a couple of practice runs before cooking anything . Temperature control is precise once getting used to it. You won’t be cooking for an army on it, but that’s the point. One or two person grill, the charcoal flavor is where it’s at! Enjoy! Very hefty for its size, I think it weighs about 50 +/- lbs. , but that also shows the quality of it. Some minor assembly required. Not bad. Recommend to the die hard charcoal grillers who love to try some new grilling/smoking techniques, and dip their toe into an affordable Kamado style cooker. And it uses a lot less charcoal than my vertical box smoker!

Do not waste your money. Its soooo small

Funciona de maravilla para una pareja o maximo 4 personas, ya que la parrilla es pequeña y no le cabe mucho. Le caben 3 hamburguesas de buen tamaño, o 2 Rib Eyes, o 1 Picaña, o 1 Pollo entero. Si vas a hacer una comida/cena para mas de 4 personas esta no es tu opción.

I have a large Big Green Egg and love cooking on it. It is great for larger cooks when the famly or frriends are around. I couldnt justify over 900 dollars for a mini green egg so ordered this. I am shocked at the quality. Easy to start and control temperature. Ideal for 2 -3 people. Very impressed and highly recommend. Very well built. Comes well packaged. Easy to assemble

Great small smoker. Used it for camping for 2 people. This is a very small smoker so read the product description before buying....Still can do 3 frozen burgers or 3 good size pork chops at once. Uses very little charcoal. Got it to 500 degrees in short order to sear/cook steaks. It got lots of stares/positive comments from neighbors. Feels very solid at just under 50lbs Easy to carry around. Gasket is very high quality. Easy to control top and bottom air. Love this small smoker.....

Great little bbq. Love the charcoal taste. Works perfectly. Be sure to let it come up to heat to avoid burning and buy good quality charcoal for it. Good for 1 or 2 People. Cooks 3 burgers, 4 sausage or a couple of steaks.

Great little BBQ...glaze is thicker than other knock offs. Easy to assemble..Fasteners are stainless which should be a minimum in BBQs.... make sure to check the bubble wrap for the bolt that connects the frame..I almost missed it
