Had it since 1964

I\'ve had my grill since 1964, and I have had about the same satisfaction as my friend has had. In fact, I\'m strongly considering buying a replacement. For a while, PK Grills \"disappeared,\" and we couldn\'t purchase parts, etc. Glad to know they are still in business! Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Made in the USA

In a time when most things purchased are foreign made, and cheaply so... the PK is a refreshing change. I absolutely love this grill. My brother-in-law is an amazing griller and motivated me to make the switch from propane to charcoal. I stumbled across this grill while scouring the internet for quality charcoal grills. I am so happy that I found this grill. I have grilled three times on it so far and it did NOT disappoint. This grill is awesome. I use only natural charcoal, and plan to mix in some hardwood on occasion. I use a chimney starter to avoid starting fluid. The result is amazing. The food I have had so far off this grill has convinced me that switching to charcoal was the right thing to do. I had a large party for my son\'s graduation and received lots of compliments on the grill and the food. There really is only one thing that I would change about this grill. I would like the stand to be taller. Other than that, I wouldn\'t change a thing. If you are considering this grill, you should do it. I have NO buyers remorse and have already told my family that my oldest son will receive this grill when I am gone. He is 19 and I am only 41! :)

Simply the Best

My dad bought this grill at an Air Force Base Exchange in 1965 and I have been cooking on it since then. It came with a cast iron grate that had a high ridge about 1/5 of the distance forward of the back edge that perfectly assisted in stacking charcoal. That was the first component to go, but that was in the early 1980\'s. Since then, I have replaced the grate and grill twice. The manufacturer used to be a family enterprise in Arkansas. I am pleased to see the product continuing to be produced. I have cooked everything on this baby! We cook put at least twice a week. I often cook steaks and chicken at the same time and am able to control the heat perfectly with the vents. I re-use briquets often because I close the vents as I remove the food. My chicken breasts are always cooked evenly and moist. My family won\'t go out for food I can cook on my grill because they say ours is better than we could get in a restaurant. Guest ask me how I do it. I tell them I use my Portable Kitchen and let God do the rest. I\'ve been using the same grill for 45 years, so the cooking is as second nature as breathing. When I\'m overseas, I have to use a regular kettle grill that is popular in the states that really just does not cook as well as the Portable Kitchen. As for the debate over gas vs. charcoal, my gas buddies never turn down the opportunity to eat anything that comes off my charcoal kitchen. The charcoal is ready in about the same time that is required to properly heat up a gas grill. And with the proper use of mesquite wood and chips, the flavor of anything coming off the grill makes the small amount of time spent in ash removal seem insignificant. If my Portable Kitchen ever wears out, I will promptly buy another. However, I expect to pass this one down in my will. It continues to be one of the simplest and greatest pleasures in my life.

35 years plus...

My dad bought one of these grills over 35 years ago and though he\'s long gone, my Mom still has it and it\'s held up well. The other brand I\'ve had for five years is rotted out and due for a trip to the dump. I\'d like a new Portable Kitchen for myself. Please double the length!!

High quality for a for a good price.

There is nothing bad that you can say about the PK Grill. I installed a thermomter on mine. I can sear steaks at 600 degrees. You can easily use this Grill for smoking also.

1965 model still cookin\'

My mom bought my dad a PK in the 60\'s. Paid around $60 for it...almost a weeks wages back then for a housepainter(and w/ 5 kids!). Bet my dad almost #$&! Dad is 80 now; mom still w/ him, fightin\' like cat\'s and dawgs at times! except about \'ol PK. I\'d like to have his ol SEASONED PK, but want to have him around more. Don\'t know if I want to fork out $3oo for one---maybe if they can bury it w/ me! If they are still what they were back then---go ahead and get one---your grandchildren will appreciate you leaving it around. My grandmother had a smaller version--think it was made in Little Rock--I burnt it thru with redoak after I had it for about 8 years--used it for fire and cooking.

HARD TO FIND "QUALITY" OF YEARS PAST

I use this grill at least once a week. I have cooked Sausage, Steak, Fish, Pork chops, Chicken and Hamburgers on it. Everything I cooked turned out perfect with only using the tips included in the book that came with the grill. I would recommend this grill again and again.

Exactly as described.

I bought this grill sight unseen. I based my purchase decision strictly on advertised claims and I was not disappointed. It's worth the money. I was even surprised to find that all the fasteners are stainless steel. Being able to easily take it apart for cleaning is a real plus.

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.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
