The Portable Kitchen^® Charcoal Grill and Smoker

Q. Is this the same cast aluminum grill that my father owned 20 years ago?
A. The Portable Kitchen^® cooker is reproduced from the original 1950s design.

Q. What makes the Portable Kitchen^® unique?
A. The heavy cast aluminum construction of the Portable Kitchen^® Cooker reflects heat from all surfaces far better than cookers made from other materials. It cooks more evenly without constant turning or repositioning on the grill. Also, the aluminum construction will never rust.

Q. Can you smoke and grill with the Portable Kitchen^® cooker?
A. The unique venting system of the PK cooker enables it to slow cook indirectly as well as it grills directly over the fire.

Q. How do you control the temperature?
A. Adjustable vents and dampers (two on top and two on bottom) control the temperature.

Q. How do you refuel while slow cooking?
A. The hinged grid allows easy refueling without removing food.

Q. What is the height of cooking dome?
A. Approximately 7" tall (from the cooking grid to the top of casting) The PK Grill can hold a 15-lb turkey.

Q. Will the current cooking grid/charcoal grate fit my 30-year-old PK?
A. Several different models of the Portable Kitchen^® cooker were previously made. Customers should measure the unit they own. If the cooking grid that holds the food measures (14 3/16 inches x 21 1/2 inches) or (14 1/4 x 18 inches) and has rounded corners then it is replaceable.
