Perfect for the beach or the backyard, and easy to take camping or use on your tailgate
  • With only 178 sq inches of grilling surface, this grill cooks like much larger charcoal grills

BBQ Dragon's Zephyr Grill is a beautifully designed portable charcoal grill with fan-forced air to start coals faster and cook hotter. This heavy-duty steel grill cooks for 6 people, but uses a fraction as much charcoal as old-style grills. A built-in battery-powered fan forces air through the charcoal to burn hotter and more efficiently.

Perfect size and conveniently portable! Perfect!

I was very impressed with this grill. I've never used a charcoal grill with a fan so I was unsure how it works. I was able to easily follow the step by step instructions and was up and running in no time. The built in fan ensures your coals get nice and hot. I also like how the coals are kept in one designated area. This allows you to move the food around if it start cooking too fast. It is a great size for camping, tailgating or just a simple day by the lake. It comes with a convenient bag that not only makes storage a breeze but also makes transportation easy as well. Over all greatly impressed!

Temperature control for charcoal!

The BBQ Dragon Zephyr Grill is a great charcoal grill. It is compact and portable yet large enough for plenty of food. The battery operated fan makes for hot coals with not so many needed; this means less coal waste and more cooking! I also like the light up fan control knob which makes it easy to see in the dark. Overall the grill cooks well and the removable grate makes for easy cleanup.

Convenient, easy to clean and perfect size

We are amazed with the Zephyr Portable Grill. It's convenient, easy to clean, perfect size, cooks great and you can take it anywhere in the included bag. It has a fan that is operated with batteries that will make your grill be ready to cook in a faster time.It would be great if it would notify you when it is ready to start cooking, it could be something like that the blue light on the power button will change to red when it is ready. We cooked burgers and the meat was very thick but they cooked perfectly, they were juicy and they had the smoky grill taste. The cleaning is a breeze, the ashes stay in the little charcoal container so you can easily throw them away and some parts of the grill are dishwasher safe. If you decide to use the grill at the eating table, be aware of the grease that will splash. Overall we loved this portable grill.

Small + Simple = Perfect!

I was a propane user, and now, after using the Zephyr Grill, I am thinking about fully switching over to charcoal. This thing has a great design to it; nice and compact, easy to use, and gets charcoal burning hot. The instructions that come with this are also pleasant to read as it seems like whomever wrote them is have a direct conversation with you. As someone who hasn't done much charcoal cooking before, this thing was an easy transition and getting it up and cooking was a breeze. My only qualm is that there is no lid so you can't keep all that smoke contained. Either way, as a portable grill, this thing is one of the best one's I have ever seen!

Awesome grill

Awesome grill. It took me around 3 minutes to put it together. It has a fan, a charcoal box and the top part equipped with a metal plate. For the fan you will need 4 AA batteries that are not included. Once the batteries installed you put some charcoal in the box and a starter I personally used lightning fluid it was pretty fast as you turn on the fan it will allow the charcoal to burn easily and will speed up your waiting time. The fan has multiple speed level I used mine at the highest all the time it is just more convenient. So far I made hot dogs, chicken, pork ribs and I must admit that I am very impressed by the performance of this grill. The only thing I didn't like about it is that metallic plate I had to use lot of grease to keep my chicken from sticking. I usually use less grease but I just couldn't I wish that plate was not there at all. My favorite thing about this grill is its size it can fit anywhere I also love the bag it came with once youare done cleaning the grill you just dry it and pack it in that bag. The bag make it easily transportable.

Great once its cooking

I was very excited for this grill, the size and apparent ease of use made it a perfect camping, tailgate, backward kind of grill. The process of getting the charcoal loaded and lit was a bit clunky even with the fan, which does work well. I think there are just too many parts involved, it would be nice if it were a bit more simple. Once it was all lit up it worked really well although it doesn't heat very evenly with all the charcoal located in the middle.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
