Best and Most Versatile Charcoal Grill
By A Customer
The Portable Kitchen is simply the best and most versatile charcoal grill ever built. It is a great smoker; it is great for steaks, chops, burgers, dogs, etc. You can cook anything on it you can cook in the kitchen. It will even bake breads and pizza. I inherited mine from my dad, who bought it when I was in my teens (I am now in my 50's). I have burned up the grill and the charcoal grate, but the PK is still in use and doing well. It is at least 40 years old and going strong. I was not able to find replacements for the grill and grate so I repaired mine using expanded metal from the hardware store. For a while the PK was not available. It is grand to see that it is back in production and readily available. The grill and grate are also available for those of you who have burned up yours.

By Darren Alexander Lauzon
I bought this unit over three months ago and have used it exclusively since. I am not kidding, I have cooked on nothing else but the PK - it is that good. The menu has included whole chickens, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, beef roasts, pork roasts, planked salmon, steaks, chops, brats, dogs, ribs and burgers. Everything has been perfect. Nothing else cooks like it. The genius of its design is that when it is closed (as is intended) the PK cannot support a flame. While the internal temperature remains hot enough to sear anything, meat will not burn from flare-ups. And, while the unit is closed, smoke - produced from the meat itself, wood chips or chunks, and/or your choice of charcoal - bathes your dish with wonderful aroma that you and your guests will truly enjoy.The PK is virtually indestructible, sized right, and unique. It is pricey for those who expect to get a charcoal grill for nothing, especially in the age of shiney stainless gas units, but you won't find another cooker that cooks as well as the Portable Kitchen.

By Jim Beauchamp
My dad had one of these for as long as I can remember. I inherited it upon his passing, and it finally burned through on the bottom, after a decade of use in my family. I was heartbroken. I looked for a replacement for years, and have had to settle for the extremely thin junk that was on the market. Imagine my pleasure and surprise when I found this exact replacement. It did not take long for me to decide that this kitchen belonged at my house.
From the durability of the origional unit, and the quality of the food it prepares, I am sure that this will be the last cooker I will ever need to buy.
