The Bodum Frykat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill

Website design By BotEap.comThe Bodum Frykat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a handy little grill for those who don’t have the space for a larger grill, or who want a portable grill they can take anywhere. It’s small enough to take along and use anywhere, but big enough to cook a good amount at a time. This is more for the family going on a picnic or cooking up a couple of quick burgers and hot dogs in the backyard or on the deck, not throwing a big party. (It’s also big enough to cook a couple of steaks)

Website design By BotEap.comI have the orange model, which my girl likes a lot because she likes orange. However, it comes in green, yellow, black, blue, and off-white. Personally, I’d probably go for the black model if it was just me, but it’s nice that they have the colors for those who want variety. The most important thing is that she cooks, and she does.

The unit is not very deep, so you won’t be putting much coal in it. Again, this is for cooking small meals and it works well for that. The legs are sturdy enough. I placed mine on the concrete next to our back door and it was fine. Instructions to indicate that the unit is not designed for use on tables.

I had no problem removing the lid to flip our meat or retrieve it when it was done. There are two air vents just below the handle, and you close them by turning the handle. There are also three rubber clips on the side. These are for transporting the unit when not in use. These clips secure the lid to the rest of the unit and you can then lift the entire grill up with the convenient handle on top and take the grill with you wherever you go. You don’t want to do this unless it’s cool, of course.

Website design By BotEap.comIf you’re looking for a small charcoal grill due to a lack of space, or need a smaller spare to take with you, the Bodum Frykat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a good little unit that does the trick. It’s a bit more expensive than some of the models you can find, but it’s better in a couple of ways than some of the cheaper ones I’ve seen too. I like cooking with it, my little girl likes the color and I’m sure it will make a nice and handy little grill for many lunches, dinners and picnics.
